The movie Braveheaert is a Scottish tale. It starts off by showing Scottish men and
women going into a meeting in a barn to discuss truce amongst the war that they are
having with the English. What they didn't know was that they were being lowered into a
trap where they were hung. William as a young boy saw what had happened to them. His
father was a leader in the rebel forces of the Scottish to try to help free his people from the
English king. On an occasion, his father goes off to fight but never makes it out alive.
William is a young boy and his anger inside of him is growing. At his father's funeral, his
uncle from his mom's side comes to take him away and teach him the arts of war, how to
read Latin, and to speak other languages as well. The story never really talks about his
mother. He is an orphan and his uncle came to take him away. Many years now pass and
William Wallace returns home as grown well mannered and taught man. He seeks the love
of his life and finds her, many years after he left. There's one problem. His love's father is
now a rebel leader as well and the only way that he can be with is if he joins the rebels.
William only wants to make a family and live in peace. He in secret dates her and
eventually marries her. But the English knew who he was, and killed his wife to get to
him. William goes on a rampage and kills the guards and the lord of the town with the
other rebels. From that moment on, William is now the leader of the Scottish people.
<Tab/>William now fights to defend his people and gain their freedom. On the other hand,
the Scottish's heir to the throne wants to make agreements with the English king instead
of helping his people fight for freedom. William is disgraced and fights with the rebels. He
keeps fighting and fighting and keeps winning and winning. His triumphs are so great that
he makes his way to York, England and is able to take over the greatest city of England at
this time. The English king is in awe of what he was capable of doing and sets up military
councils to gain speed behind the rebels. But while all of this is going on, the Princess
which she is the wife of the king's son, is helping Wallace in his escapes. She loves him.
Her husband is gay and she sees the truth that is going on. Wallace's people are being
oppressed and she helps him in by guiding him to places to hide and seek shelter from
danger.
<Tab/>There is a great battle at the end where the Scottish army and rebels join to fight
the English. To the surprise, the Scottish army betrays Wallace and the rebels and he
rebels are on their own against Thousands and thousands or English army men. Many

rebels die but Wallace survives. The Scottish leaders have a meeting of what happened and
Wallace kills the leaders of Scotland one by one for what they have done. This worries the
king of Scotland and tries to make truce with William Wallace. William buys it and goes
to a meeting with him. As William enters the fortress he is betrayed and captured by the
English soldiers. He is tried in the court and is proven guilty. He goes to prison waiting for
them to take him and torture him. The princess goes to see him and tries to give him an
antidote to numb his nerves, then she kisses him and leaves but he spits out the potion. He
is now taken to be tortured and humiliated in front of the English people. He is tortured
and laid down on cross where he is going to be killed. But before that happens, he yells
"FREEDOM" and the people are amazed. Then they decapitate him. The legend of William
Wallace has died.
