"Freedom!"
A Hollywood movie about the life of Sir William Wallace, Scottish freedom fighter BUT the term 'Braveheart' was actually attributed to King Robert the Bruce before he died he requested that his heart be removed and buried in the Holy Land (Palestine)
The freedom quote by Mel Gibson's character in Braveheart is: "As William Wallace said, Tell our enemies, that they may take our lives but they'll never take OUR FREEDOM!".
beacuse he never gave up in war he was brave looked after his army and all he wanted was freedom! :)
"how can i be accused of treason, when England is a foreign land to me!" According to the film, Braveheart, his last words were "Freedom". And we all know how wildly inaccurate that movie was. The truth is, no-one actually knows what his last words were.
He wasn't nick-named 'Braveheart'. That was just the name of the Mel Gibson film based on Wallace. the top sentance is a big lie he was nicknamed braveheart because of his commintment sand loyalty in the scotish war he never gave up and fought for his freinds and looked after his army and all he wanted was freedom :)

William "Braveheart" Wallace was a Scottish Knight, landowner and freedom fighter that lived approximately between the periods of 1270 and 1305. There are no historical records to support the notion that Wallace was ever married let alone had children and for that matter any records then that would describe that child as a daughter. A hero to the Scot's he has been more romanticized and fictionalized than enshrined in historical account. It was Blind Harry, most famous for his tales of Wallace, who wrote The Acts and Deed of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elerslie. This account is highly criticized by historians as being largely fictional. There was the poet Walter Scott who penned Exploits and Death of William Wallace, "Hero of Scotland" and Jane Porter who penned a romantic version of Wallace in The Scottish Chiefs. The movie Braveheart relied heavily upon all of these accounts and it was most likely Randall Wallace who wrote the screenplay who invented, if not borrowed from other fictional accounts, Wallace's tragic wife and the sad and taboo love to the English Queen who claimed to bear his child.
