NO WAI!!!11 The royal family don't come from Mel Gibson?!

Speaking of Braveheart....

The interesting thing with how the movie portrays the Scottish rebellion is that the Scots already had a kingdom of their own before the wars with England. They had a proper government, real armies and quite a bit more power than what's seen in the film. Instead, they are presented as lowly peasants without an actual army to fight with until Wallace comes around. Almost like the native americans or Vietcong, an not like a nation. The English could not just occupy and plunder the Scots at will.
