William Wallace, the man, the myth

This is an interesting article about WIlliam Wallace, as portrayed in Braveheart. Basically, Mel Gibson has decided to come out against
the Wallace he portrayed, casting him in the light of a monster.
Reality is though that the man was somewhere between monster and hero,
according to historians. That era of Scottish history isn't something
I've ever taken the time to study at any length but I'm not surprised
Hollywood didn't get it exactly right.
