Amen, McWage. Tell it!

The real historical error in Braveheart had to do with his "affair" with the wife of Edward II! I think she was just a little girl at the time of the events depicted in the movie. My students, no doubt, believe that the next heir to the English throne was, in fact, the shild of Wallace.

As for me, give me Casablanca anyday.

Apparently she didn't even marry Edward II until something like 9 years after Wallace was dead!
