So, claims were made to it even before Edward was dying.

  • Battles With William Wallace And King Edward
    751 words
    COMPARING THE MOVIE BRAVEHEART TO REALITY Braveheart may not be completely historically accurate, but yet it does do a good job of portraying the spirit of the times. The battles with William Wallace and King Edward were pretty much accurate but did still have their faults.

I wil...
