The boys take on one of the most iconic “true story” films ever made: Braveheart. From blue face paint and kilts to the legendary cry of “Freedom!”, the movie shaped how the world remembers William Wallace and Scotland’s fight for independence. But how much of it actually happened?
The episode breaks down the real history behind the film, starting with who William Wallace truly was — not a poor farmer, but a minor noble — and what really sparked his rebellion. It revisits the Battle of Stirling Bridge (yes, there was an actual bridge), the myths surrounding jus primae noctis, the completely fictional romance with Princess Isabella, and the misleading portrayal of Robert the Bruce.
The boys also explore Wallace’s brutal execution, what the movie surprisingly gets right, and why Hollywood altered so much of the story in the first place.
Was Braveheart a historical disaster or a powerful legend built on real events? This episode separates cinematic myth from medieval reality and reveals how one man became both a national hero and one of history’s most misunderstood figures.
