Bruce won the war, that's the main thing. I haven't made a close study of the period but at the time of the film it struck me that the Gibbon I mean Gibson was taking a lot of Bruce's traditional achievements and giving them to Wallace- and rightly or wrongly it didn't strike me that Braveheart was very well researched in its revisionist fervour. No matter, both men were heroes.

And no matter what his faults, I don't think Bruce should be judged too harshly for shifting positions and so on- look for instance at what happened to Wallace. Hard to achieve much after you've been disembowled just once.
