Braveheart: Lies You Believe About The Real William Wallace

There’s no denying that Braveheart, Mel Gibson’s 1995 epic about the life of 13th century Scottish warrior William Wallace, is one of the actor/director’s greatest films. It was nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards, winning five, including Best Director and Best Picture. It holds up more than 25 years later, thanks to its realistic battle scenes and the heart wrenching story at its center.

While William Wallace certainly existed, and the battles fought in the film were real, there’s a lot that the film gets wrong. With that, let’s jump into the Mel Gibson’s Braveheart, and the lies you believe about the real William Wallace.
