For a Shakespearean love story, go watch Shakespeare in Love with Gwyneth Paltrow (if you haven't seen it already.

Sean Stuart

so robert the bruce daughter married a stewart after she was set free shortly after the last battle in movie. Her son would be king after his uncle and beginning the stewart/stuart dynasty. so he might be my ancestor.

This movie is over 25 years old and still ranks in my top 5.

Boy those blankets got a workout on this one. Cassie you are getting to be a pro at bloody stuff, Carly not so much yet, but if she hangs with you here she be up to snuff in no time.

After watching this again, I really hope you end up watching Kingdom of Heaven. But make sure you find the director's cut. A bit longer, but it elevates the movie from a standard epic historical war movie, to one of my favorite movies of all time.

There's a continuation to this story. Outlaw King on Netflix. Chris Pine plays Robert the Bruce, and the movie is about the fight after Wallace is executed.

1) The picts (scots) would usually go into battle naked (kilts weren't used at the time of the story) and be painted in different colors. (instead of having hundreds of naked men they just had them flash the opponents, 2) The British united Britain, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland through force, and even today, among some British are still a little xenophobic with regard to the Scots, Irish, and Welsh, and that feeling is reciprocated by some from those countries (not nearly as much as back then however). 3) The punishment given to William Wallace at the end of the movie is known as Hanging, Drawing, and Quartering. When they showed him lying on his back after the hanging and drawing, they had opened his belly and pulled out his entrails/insides while he was still alive, Beheading takes place after that. The drawing is being pulled by the horses, the quartering meant they literally cut him into pieces. It was considered one of the worst tortures/(ways to die) that you do to a person. 4) Europe had many political marriages historically to try to keep the peace (the marriages were meant as hostage taking essentially as well. 5) Since JRR Tolkien was from England, the Shire actually came from English/Scandinavian culture, not the other way around. JRR Tolkien was an English professor at Oxford, but got some of what he wrote from the Beowulf/Scandinavian folklore. Another side note: Tolkien invented the written/spoken languages in LOTR.

The Bruces father had leprosy in the movie.

As people as mentioned historically inaccurate but it’s a good movie regardless. Another one with Mel Gibson that is also historically inaccurate but could be a good movie to do a review on is “The Patriot”.

Great movie, very emotional especially watching along with Cassie and Carly, but the moment Wallace slit the throat of the English lord that killed Murron and Carly exclaimed “I didn’t want to see that. I couldn’t cover my eyes fast enough” was pretty funny which is why I like watching along with these two.

I believe the princess was lying to the king to upset him
