Here's something about William Wallace

For a very long time, many parts of William Wallace's life have been debated.
What year he was born, where he was born, a commoner or lower gentry, etc...
One thing caught up in debate was: whether Wallace had left the country (Scotland) for France to seek aid from the Pope in Avignon, after the defeat at Falkirk.

There was never any documented proof of this, and the information had come down through folklore and rumour. He had 'disappeared' for a period of time, and no trace was known of his whereabouts.

Then awhile back an item did come to the surface that gives undoubted proof that he was in fact in France. Unfortunately this item, (a letter of safe conduct given by the King of France, and on William Wallace's person when he was captured at Robroyston on 3rd August 1305) sits in a drawer in England.

There is a campaign to return this item to Scotland, and your help is needed.
