Braveheart is a horribly inaccurate movie, and I hope no one thinks that this one is representative of any kind of truth. Here are some of the most egregious historical errors in this movie. ------------------------------------------------------------ more videos: Previous: https://youtu.be/tQ9mWVrMuMU Related: https://youtu.be/lCjMlAWOM-Q ------------------------------------------------------------ references: Eds.

Gibson portrays William Wallace, a 13th-century Scottish warrior who led the Scots in the First War of Scottish Independence against King Edward I of England. The story is inspired by Blind Harry's epic poem The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace and was adapted for the screen by Randall Wallace. The film was nominated for ten Academy Awards at the 68th Academy Awards and won five: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, and Best Sound Editing. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hashtags: #history #braveheart #WilliamWallace #review #BasedOnATrueStory #Scotland
