premise: The Wallace is a poem.
hypothesis: The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace , also known as The Wallace , is a long `` romantic biographical '' poem by the fifteenth-century Scottish makar of the name Blind Harry probably at some time in the decade before 1488 . As the title suggests , it commemorates and eulogises the life and actions of the Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace who lived a century and a half earlier . The poem is historically inaccurate , and mentions several events that never happened .
