William Wallace also had a beard and was not clean shaven as depicted in the film. The attack scene in the movie took place during daytime when it actually took place at night. Now, they did get married in secret and she was killed to draw Wallace out, but not before they had at least one son, whom not much is known about. Next, we visit William's wife Marion, called Murron, in the film. He was probably featured in the film this way to give the effect that the hero rose from the bottom. So, right off the bat there is an error in the film, William Wallace's father was higher than a peasant, but not nobility.

However, historians found letters and a seal, which features William's father name on it, possibly Alan, but Malcolm in the film. Let's go in chronological order, first, in the movie William Wallace's father was portrayed as a peasant farmer fighting for Scotland's freedom in earlier wars. But, do you know how much of that story, told in Braveheart, is true? Well, let's go over a few of the major aspects that were false in the movie in order to make the film more entertaining. Most of us know the, basic, story of the Scottish rebel William Wallace, portrayed by Mel Gibson, who also directed. I'm sure most of us are familar with the Best Picture winner of 1995, Braveheart. For my first blog post I thought I would mix my two favorite things, movies and history.

Is brave heart a true story
