Plot Summary:
|
In the late 13th century, William Wallace returns to Scotland after living away from his homeland for multitudinous years. The monarch of Scotland has died without an successor and the sovereign of England, a uncompassionate known as Edward the Longshanks, has seized the throne. Wallace becomes the head of a run-down eventually valiant army fixed to vanquish the greater English forces. At the signal duel of Stirling, Wallace leads his army to a stunning triumph against the English. Knighted by means of the grateful Scottish nobles, Sir William Wallace extends the conflict south of the purflin... g limits and storms the city of York. King Edward I is astonished by the unexpected beat it of events. Not able to rely on his inadequate son Prince Edward, Longshanks sends his daughter-in-law Princess Isabelle to discuss a treaty with Wallace.

Braveheart may have its critics (and its biggest fans are nationalists), but there's no denying this is an achievement. It's a film that weaves a ...
anti-english lies
It's too easy to bash the English, especally when it's inaccurate.
If it were the other way around, the noise would still be heard.
