My father married a Scottish lady. Her family are some of the best people I've ever met in my life. Cheers to the Scottish...And now after seeing this I have the "rest of the story". What a brave hero and great warrior. Rough times, no doubt. Brutal times. He very likely died a brave death and never went back on his claims. No man is perfect but God knows this, read the bible.

What a great closing line!!! Loyalty, bravery, and heroism are things we should all strive for. Whether he is remembered as an enemy or a friend, that is very, very true, and it must be said of many of our contemporary enemies. On another matter, the physiology teacher (and unabashed nerd) in me would like to point out that the heart will beat outside the body, yes, but not for a half hour. It can only beat as long as it has a supply of oxygen (unavailable without circulating blood) or anaerobic fuel, such as ATP (used in seconds) or glycogen (used in minutes), as well as a supply of calcium and water. The heart tissue will be dying steadily, with complete cardiac death in just a few minutes. (We had a video no one uses anymore at my university of a dog heart demonstrating this.) And he wouldn't have been brain dead, just unconscious. Anyone who has studied te judo techniques of shime waza knows this phenomenon.

The unusual events are those that are unquestioned; a local youth retaliating successfully.

I think Wallace had to of been apart of the nobility, or at least his father or grandfather, because if indeed he was over 6'5" in a time when grown men averaged 5'0" across the Isles the only people of height were the rich nobles, barons, etc because they had greater nutrition generationally than the peasantry. This is why Edward the First was himself 6'2" and this is why Edward IV (War of the Roses) was 6'4" bare foot and 6'7" in full armor. The alleged sword of Wallace was 5'4" in length, meaning that a man between 6'5"-6'7" would have been able to wield it. People did not get that big naturally I those times unless you were having good and plenty, or you had pituitary gigantism. The latter I don't consider to be a good idea to consider because such a diagnosis in such a medically deprived world would have meant nearly instant death because the body is so focused on growing that the immune system is practically non-existent. After all, Robert Wadlow died from a BLISTER on his ankle. So no, Wallace if indeed he was a large powerful man as the legends say would have been someone of nobility at least in a genetic sense.

There are no limits to the BS that they will put on the news and tell people just to make them believe in a distant enemy that needs to be fought at all costs. Every generation has their Boogey-Man. They have to justify all that expenditure on the military/wars to the taxpayer who's paying for it all. And most DO fall for it all. It boggles the mind.

In his intro, he was somberly describing a murder. I thought he was going to talk about the murder of William Wallace, but no. He was talking about the murder of a sheriff who had been hacking to death unofficial members of the community. The difference was that he was doing so in the name of the king, so they were sanctioned murders. Then William Wallace was captured, tortured, and hacked do death after he was murdered (I know, I know...hush. I'm making a point) by the king. Truth is they were all hacking each other to death. Hey, everyone was doing it. Such a sad event, the sheriff's murder. They were all animals.

@Workin Alday Well, you're missing how to spell "Scots" for a start. Edward 1's mother was Eleanor of Provence. Provence is not in England. She caused resentment -indeed riots- by the large number of "Savoyards" she brought to court. The rioters were anti-immigrant forerunners of UKIP and the BNP. What's "100% English" anyway? Such as expression betrays a profound ignorance of the history of England.

That fight was what earned Robert the Bruce the name "Braveheart", but Wallace had already been dead for several years at that point.

Conquests, no matter who does it is absolutly wrong. A acquaintance of mine once told me that the bigger the crowed the stupider it is. I believe he is right.

no, there were only 4 produced. If you like that style with Tony Robinson I recommend "Tony Robinson's Walking Through History" *currently running on BBC) and "Time Team" (running for years on BBC ...so there should be ample of episodes ;-) ) "Walking Through History" I suppose is based upon this mini-series...

Tony is great when he's talking about the history, but when he's got to interview an actual person he comes off as stiff and disinterested. I don't think Tony relates to the common working man very well.

He's a genuinely nice bloke , I met him when time team came to my area & helped us excavate a group of Romano/ British pagan temples. He wouldn't last long doing time team if he didn't get on with us archaeologists, were very down to earth, quite loud, boisterous, always doing pranks on each other, & he fitted in very well.

Oh c'mon Tony, you're better than this. Most of this version of his story is from Blind Harry who was writing the story to create a nationalist folk hero during another period of war 200 years after Wallace died. The love story was added even later than that. Pretty poor really.

gordywestmids Common sense is all the evidence one needs to know this to be false. It was logistically impossible to field an army of that size in that area at that time. The obvious reason is to conflate the difficulties encountered by Wallace in defeating the English by grossly inflating their numbers.

William Wallace est un personnage fictif inventé par Harry l'Aveugle (blind Harry), un poète ménestrels grassement payé par Jacques IV d'Écosse, marie de Marguerite Tudor... C'est ''William II Earl of Ross'' qui est la véritable légende et sa femme était Euphemia de Barclay (Berkeley), de la famille Barclay qui était détenteur du premier château d'Ardrossan... Souvenez-vous aussi d'Edward III qui a détruit de nombreux documents officiels...

Does anybody know when & why Wallace began to be called "Braveheart"? I heard a long time ago that the Victorians made a mistake & started calling William Wallace "Braveheart" instead of Robert the Bruce, but I don't know if that is correct. Surely Mel Gibson isn't responsible for that too, is he?

gordywestmids I understand that; I know that Wallace was not Braveheart, Robert the Bruce was. I am just curious as to where the mixup started. I did not mean to imply that I didn't know which man was called Braveheart. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
