Depends is youre English or Scottish for at least one point on that list, or two or three.

Or how drunk you are.

Or what kind of ale you been gulping down.



Now we all know Braveheart lacked Ewoks and ATAT!

While Edward Longshanks' son (Edward II) was indeed an ghey, his wife Isabella never met Wallace. She was too busy shagging Roger de Mortemer (who became 'de facto' ruler of England in from about 1190 to about 1210 until their son Eddy 3 had him sentenced to death)

Robert the Bruce never met Wallace.

The Irish didn't come to Wallace's aid.

The Scots didn't wear Wode (The blue face dye was used by Saxons 8 centuries earlier)

Robert the Bruce's father did not have leprosy, but the Bruce did indeed die of leprosy (I regularly take a pint at the spot where he sought sanctuary from the abbot of Girvan to save him from leprosy)

The longbow wasn't used in battle until 350 years later

Wallace's Sword was bigger than Midget Mel Gibson wielded (I know, I've held it and it weighs a fUcking ton)

'Prima Nocte' was never invoked by Edward I

The English atrocities against the Scots were rarely carried out by Englishmen - usually by Scots who saw the English as a meal ticket.
