True Story Of Braveheart

William Wallace became world famous when Mel Gibson portrayed him in the film Braveheart. But just how true was the Hollywood version of his story?

HISTORY´S MYSTERIES ventures back some 800 years to find the answer.

From his mysterious early years to the battle of Falkirk, where he faced King Edward I, to his abduction and execution in 1305, we´ll sort the truth from the lies surrounding William Wallace.
