"Mel Gibson\'s Braveheart won five Oscars and made William Wallace, a 13th century Scottish warrior, an unforgettable Hollywood character. But how historically accurate is the film? Was the real life William Wallace a heroic freedom fighter or a common criminal turned terrorist? Was he really saved by a princess who became his lover?
