I already know who he is, and I knew before I saw the film. BTW, he spent a little time in Tullock Castle near Dingwall; a little fact most people are not aware of. But how was the movie Braveheart innacurate about the historical events regarding Wallace? That’s my question.
The author of that site says Wallace never died in English captivity. He leaves us believing the the remainer of his life was spent living free. Is that what you mean? All other sources seem to state that he was executed by Longshanks. I am inclined to believe the numerous other sources rather than the author of that page. It seems like wishful thinking. All historical sources say that he was “hanged, drawn, and quartered” (a particularly gruesome and cruel English punishment not outlawed until 1843), and his head was placed on a spike on London Bridge where it was later joined by his brother’s and others. I believe that is the truth of his death.[/quote]
There is no doubt that Wallace was executed on 25th August 1305 and that he was indeed hanged drawn and quartered.
His head was displayed on London Bridge and his right arm on the bridge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, his left arm at Berwick, his right leg at Perth, and the left leg at Aberdeen.
Some of the films inaccuracies are just foolish and unimportant, such as Wallace painting his face blue.
Woad had gone out of fashion quite some time before, like 1200 years before. 
The French Princess Isabelle, with whom the film showed him having an affair, and implied the resultant child was to become King of England, was 11 years old when Wallace died.
They never met.
The mass hangings which feature in the early part of the film, during Wallace’s childhood never happened, since the English had only occupied Scotland a year before the battle of Stirling Brig (which was filmed without the bridge)
The Battle happened, certainly, but not the way portrayed.
The Scots basically ambushed the English as they attempted to cross the river.
Wallace never supported Bruce’s claim to the Scottish throne, he supported his opponent, Balliol.
Bruce’s father is shown in the film as a leper.
He wasn’t, although Bruce himself is said to have died of leprosy.
Wallace wasn’t betrayed by Bruce, he was betrayed by a common soldier.
And there hadn’t been “100 years of English tyranny” at the time.
England and Scotland had been (relatively) at peace until the unexpected death of the Scottish King Alexander, and Edward was asked to adjudicate on who had the best claim to it.
He picked himself
I’ve included a picture of The Wallace Monument, built in the 19th Century on Abbey Crag overlooking Stirling (it’s a bugger to climb, I do know that), and a picture of Wallace’s sword which is on display in the Monument.
The sword is 5’4" long, and weighs 6lbs.
The other pic is that of a reenactor who gives guided tours of the battlefields.
His dress and weapons are authentic reproductions.
