Braveheart This book asks students to explore the big question, 'Was William Wallace the Braveheart of Anglo-Scottish relations?' It starts by examining the film Braveheart, asking pupils to explore its reliability as a historical document, before going onto look at Scotland in the 13th Century and its relations with England and the events leading up to Wallace's Rebellion. The book then covers the events of the rebellion and examines Wallace and Edward I's reputations and legacy, exploring how representations of the past affect how we view things today.
