| | William III of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The reign of William's successor, Anne, was marked by attempts to extend the provisions of the Act of Settlement to Scotland. | | | Eight days before he was born, his father died from smallpox; thus, William became the Sovereign Prince of Orange at the moment of his birth. | | | William actually permitted James to leave the country, for he did not wish to make him a martyr for the Roman Catholic cause. |

| | Scotland's Past - William I 'The Lion' |
| | The King and Pope had been in dispute between 1178 and 1182 when Scotland was briefly put under an interdict over the appointment of the Bishop of St Andrews, but it was also during William's reign that the Pope declared Scotland to be under his jurisdiction and not that of the English church. | | | In 1201 William held an assembly at Musselburgh to ensure the smooth transition of the crown to his son, he must have felt insecure about the succession as he also extracted promises from the leading barons at his deathbed. | | | Set in Scotland, the romance was probably composed by a St Andrews bishop for the court circle, and can claim to be the country's earliest surviving vernacular work. |

| | Famous Scots - William Wallace |
| | While a teenaged William received his education in the church, his father and older brother were on the run from the English. | | | Longshanks took six years to reclaim Scotland from the resistance, and in 1305, William Wallace was captured and taken to trial in London, where he was convicted of treason and brutally executed. | | | William retaliated, killing the sheriff, and thus became an outlaw in his own country. |

| | William "the Lion" of Scotland |
| | In December 1165, William was crowned at Scone. | | | In the end, two of William's daughters were sent south to the English court so that John might find husbands for them (or so it was claimed), and until he did, he made them pets of his court, kept them well dressed and fed lavish foods such as figs. | | | In return for this aid, the younger Henry granted Northumberland, a possession which William had sought, in vain, from the English king. |

| | Scotland's Past - William Wallace |
| | In 1997 Scotland voted to re-establish its parliament, a landmark decision that is likely to pave the way for an independent Scottish state. | | | Nothing is known of his early career, except for that reported by Blind Harry, until he became the leader of the resistance against Edward I of England. | | | They met at Westminster on 15th September 1305 to draft an ordinance for the administration of Scotland. |
