This is my favorite movie, the picture, the music, the scene, the theme, the actors... everything can be said to be Perfect!

Let’s say a

couple of digressions, as mentioned at the beginning of the film, history is always changed by some people , But some irony is that Hollywood directors always do this kind of thing. People

familiar with history know that this movie is about the story of the famous British Gorse dynasty.

This dynasty has not only the Lionheart King, Edward Long-legged (that is, the old villain in the film) and a series of Kings of War God, but also the "Father of Law" Henry II. More importantly, from the "Magna Carta of Liberty" in 1215, to the "Oxford Regulations" in 1258, to the "Model Parliament" in 1295, and a series of modern-spirited legislation from the 12th to 13th centuries, Britain has already Irreversibly embarked on the road of a thousand-year democratic constitutional government.

The first king of the gorse dynasty was Edward I’s great-grandfather Henry the second, also known as Henry Gorse (great-grandson of William, Duke of Normandy).

Okay, back to the story, William Wallace’s The story is true.

William Wallace came from a family of knights. Most of his stories come from legends or epics. At first he led a group of knights to destroy the English tax collection house in Scotland and attacked the English nobles in Scotland. The team grew bigger and bigger. At that time, King Edward I was fighting in France and had no time to take care of Scotland. William Wallace once ruled all of Scotland, then he invaded northern England and occupied Yorkshire. King Edward I of England had no choice but to end the war in France and return to England to personally command the army against William Wallace. It is said that William Wallace is extremely brave in combat, always risking his death to the forefront, and he also has a certain military talent. After all, his troops could not fight with the regular army of King Edward I of England. They were defeated in 1299 and fled for several years. They were finally captured by the Englishmen and executed by Ling Chi in 1305.

However, the brave heart does not refer to William Wallace, but rather refers to Robert Bruce, King of Scotland who betrayed William Wallace several times in the film. The plot of betraying William Wallace is naturally a fictional film. In history, Robert Bruce was a national hero in the true sense of Scotland. In the era of King Edward I, Scotland faced the fate of being assimilated and annexed. Robert Bruce led the Scots to continue to engage in small-scale conflicts with England, and achieved a crucial victory in the Battle of Bannockburn, and finally drove the English out of Scotland.

He was very brave when fighting, and often duel with the enemy on horseback. In the Battle of Bannockburn, he rushed to the front and smashed the enemy with an axe. There was a legend that after the death of Robert Bruce, a knight who had followed him for many years was about to take his heart to the holy land for burial in Jerusalem. When he came to Spain, he just happened to catch the alien invasion of the local Catholics. Joined the battle heroically, with the brave heart of Robert Bruce, take me to rush and drive away the infidels. He was on the front line of the battle, and when the battle was about to win, he still fell with that heart in his arms. Later, many poets chanted this legend, and the name of the poem was "Brave Heart".
Robert Bruce would have to vomit blood and die if Huang Quan knew it.

The comrades in Hollywood turned heroes into bears. Let’s see how they turn a slut into a saint.

Everyone remembers that beautiful and kind angelic French princess, the dream lover of countless people.

Isabel, the French princess in history, was the daughter of King Philip IV, nicknamed "French she-wolf." Do you know what it is from this name?

Edward II is gay, (as in the movie), but, as a king, he must get married. In 1308, Edward II married the French princess Isabel.
Although he married a noble French princess, Edward II had no interest in women. His interest was in men. As a result, the French princess was naturally left out. Edward II really underestimated the new queen, the French princess was not annoying.
Edward II and Old Edward are simply a heaven and an underground. They are completely different from each other. They were defeated by Robert I (a true brave heart) externally, and loved comrades internally.
In 1325, Isabel took advantage of the opportunity of an envoy to France, fled back to France, and became silent with the British aristocrat who was exiled in France, and became Mody's mistress. The two colluded together and opposed Edward II.

In September 1326, the two men led French soldiers and returned to London. At this time, the relationship between King Edward II and the nobles had long collapsed. Isabel came back and was warmly welcomed by the Londoners. Edward II rebelled against their relatives and left, and even his retainers also left him.

Isabel executed the Spencer and his son. In 1327, Edward II was forced to abdicate under the coercion of the parliament. He and Isabel's son Edward Jr. ascended the throne as King Edward III (reigned 1327-1377).

Isabel imprisoned Edward II in Berkeley Castle and left him starved and cold in the dark castle. In September of this year, under the order of the French she-wolf, the killer came in front of Edward II and inserted the red iron rod into Edward II’s anus. Edward II’s screams came miles away. This is the end of a generation of faint monarchs.
