Is Braveheart a true story?

The movie took liberties with history but most films do; but here are some areas where Hollywood and history diverged. First. and possibly least important, Sir William Wallace was never called "Braveheart" and while Wallace did kill an Englishman it was not for the rape and murder of his wife but for an unspecified insult. Of course, the Mel Gibson version makes for better drama. Next in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Gibson left out the bridge -- he explained that it made for better cinematography to leave out the bridge (and the film might have gone over budget for the construction costs of a bridge) so Gibson had them fight it out in an open field. Next, Scots warriors of Sir William's time did NOT wear war paint into battle (they did that during Roman times). And finally, Robert the Bruce, who led the victorious war of Scottish independence, was not quite the conniving cad depicted in "Braveheart." Like Wallace, Bruce (an ancestor of mine) is a national hero of Scotland. Whatever the film's historic flaws, however, it contributed to a rebirth of Scottish nationalism among native Scots and their kin overseas.


Is the movie 'Braveheart' a true story?

Yes, the film 'Braveheart' tells a true story of events in the history of England and Scotland. It's set during the time of the rule of English King Edward I [June 17, 1239-July 7, 1307]. The English King was nicknamed 'Hammer of the Scots' because of his fierce opposition to independent cultural, economic and political expressions by the Scots.The royal opposition found particularly fierce expression against Sir William Wallace [Uilleam Uallas, 1272-August 23, 1305]. That's because Wallace was a much loved leader in the Wars of Scottish Independence [1296-1328, 1332-57]. He ultimately was captured and executed for treasonous behavior, against the English crown, in his own country of Scotland.Nowadays, Wallace is remembered and recognized as a patriot to the Scots and as one of Scotland's national heroes.

When did William Wallace impact history the most?

William Wallace impacted world history for Scotland by not only by gaining their freedom but showing that they are a country and can stand up for themselves. William defeated the English at the Battle of Stirling Bridge, was defeated at Falkirk and spent the next several years on the run, both in Scotland and on the continent, before being captured and cruelly executed as a traitor to England on August 23, 1305. William mad the best gain for Scotland and died for his country. The freedom that he gained is still in Scotland today and now people are able to not be "controlled" by kings and queens.
