Romantically Embellished

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 1999)

According to my sources, Sir William Wallace, the Scottish patriot, died in 1305, and Princess Isabella, queen consort of Edward II of England, was born in 1296, which would make her aged 8 or 9 at the time of Mel Gibson's character's death.
I enjoyed the movie but, as far historical accuracy is concerned, I put myself on the side that says there was no such romantic entanglement between a man aged approximately 33, at his death, and a little girl of 8 or 9.
