TV version of Braveheart?

[Ryan Ross]

I think Ryan Ross was saying that Bruce was just as he was portrayed in the Braveheart film, as a coward who betrayed Wallace.

By God, you are gravely mistaken, sir!

But you're also largely ignorant to the Bruce's real-life shortcomings, it would seem; I know more than a thing or two about how the Powers that Be like to teach history, during secondary school. I imagine that the Bruce was painted in his usual "Savior of Scotland" role, when you were in class? Yes?

And no, I know good and well that the Bruce never betrayed Wallace to the English, and I have no idea where you got and became obsessed with the idea that I thik that. In fact, I think they caught Wallace while he was in bed with a random woman, and I'm certain the Bruce would have known nothing about those shenanigans!

As for proof, I don't want to bother educating you... though cajunscot's post should have you well on the way. If you want to learn about your country's history, you can well do it on your own mental dime, an not on an American's. I don't need to prove a thing.

I'm much more a fan of the Bruce, than I am of Wallace. The Bruce was one of the top ranked knights in Christendom, and though he may not have been perfect, most accounts of his martial actions would indicate that he's anything but a coward... it takes b@lls to stab your enemy to death in a church, wouldn't you say?

And an excelent observation by Seago Sensei- Sir Douglas was fighting the Saracens with King Alfonso, with the silver casket around his neck. He threw it into the battle, then fought his way back to it, I hear. Even died huddling on top of it, from what some say, all cut to pieces.
