He was the son of a lesser noble, but still noble, called Alan Wallace, of whom we know because of a letter sent to Lübeck by Wallace himself, bearing his family badge.

Here ten false historical facts in Braveheart, and ten true facts. His depiction in the epic movie Braveheart stirred both praise and critique, for some of the eye-sore inaccuracies. Wallace’s history is shrouded in mist, and few are the documents mentioning him. Braveheart narrates the history of William Wallace, a Scottish warrior who became a hero for Scotland’s independence against the successive English attempts to place them under their boot.
