-Story
In the late 13th century, William
Wallace returns to Scotland after living away from his homeland for many years. The king of Scotland has died without an heir
and the king of England, a ruthless pagan known as Edward the Longshanks, has seized the throne. Wallace becomes the leader
of a ramshackle yet courageous army determined to vanquish the greater English forces. At the historic battle of Stirling,
Wallace leads his army to a stunning victory against the English. Knighted by the grateful Scottish nobles, Sir William Wallace
extends the conflict south of the border and storms the city of York. King Edward I is astonished by the unexpected turn of
events. Unable to rely on his ineffectual son Prince Edward, Longshanks sends his daughter-in-law Princess Isabelle to discuss
a truce with Wallace.
