Braveheart tells the tale of Scottish hero William Wallace. The film opens with someone telling us the tale of William Wallace. Who is this narrator?

Robert the Bruce in the film is a person who said: "I shall tell you of William Wallace. Historians from England will say I am a liar, but history is written by those who have hanged heroes."

In the 1995 film, Braveheart, directed by Mel Gibson and written by Randall Wallace, it is noted that the King of Scotland had died without a son. So the King of England, a cruel pagan known as Edward the Longshanks, claimed the throne of Scotland for himself. Accordingly in the 14th century, Scotland's nobles fought Longshanks and each other, over the Scottish crown. Finally Longshanks acts and invites everyone to truce talks. They will pick a person to be king.

Among the farmers who arrived at that shire of Malcolm Wallace was a common man. He had his own lands. He also had two sons, John and William. Over a period of hard times, one of the two boys became the Guardian of Scotland and resistance leader for the Wars of Scottish Independence. Robert the Bruce in both history and the award winning film would come to talk about the boy, William.
