According to the respected historian, Sir Arthur
Bryant, Wallace was a genius of military strategy. His
invention of the schiltron made it possible for the first
time ever for a heavily armoured cavalry charge to be
defeated by infantry at the Battle of Stirling.
Wallace is also remarkable
for being the first of a new generation of commoner-heroes
who arose in Europe to overthrow the feudal system. Following
his execution in 1305, his fame spread across the continent,
inspiring others to rise up against their oppressors.
William Tell was one of them.
This exquisite sword
is made by traditional methods by Marto in TOLEDO SPAIN.
For several centuries now, Toledo has been known for its
high quality sword manufacturing facilities. This sword
features top-quality high polished 440-C stainless steel
blade. 52" overall. (Made in Toledo Spain) This massive
double-handed sword, almost four and a half feet long,
has a leather-covered grip and extended leather-covered
ricasso to provide the leverage necessary to wield the
weapon at close quarters. A must for those who trace their
ancestry to the highlands!
