Braveheart Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Robert the Bruce

Wallace sees Longshanks and chases after him. Longshanks orders a knight to fall back and kill Wallace. Wallace knocks the knight out of the saddle and runs over to finish him. Wallace is so shocked to see the Bruce on the ground that he can't move.

Answer: Malcolm Wallace

Malcolm Wallace is William's father and certainly is just as courageous as his son turns out to be. Unfortunately, Malcolm is soon killed leaving William orphaned. He goes to live with his uncle Argyle shortly after the funeral. His uncle is determined to educate William with both intelligence and physical strength. These attributes help to make William a genuine leader.

Answer: Freedom

All he wants is his country to be free. When he screams it, no one is booing they are all feeling sad and remorseful. Even the judge or the person that wants Wallace to submit to Longshanks, orders the quick execution.

Answer: "Musta made an impression."

After Hamish said this, William retorted, "Aye." Then Hamish said to him, "Musta made an impression." This was the second time the Princess visited William, and the first time she did so in order to keep him safe. She proved to be a valuable asset in the future as well, providing him with critical information about ambushes planned against William and his men.

Answer: Robert the Bruce's father

Robert was the most likely candidate for king and was ready to take his men and join William's fight. His father didn't want him entwined in the matter, because it would lower his chances of being king so he said this to convince him.

Answer: Lady in Waiting

She was Isabella's best friend and advisor.

Answer: Argyle Wallace

Argyle was played by Brian Cox.

Answer: Prima Nocte

This is a good plan according to Longshanks. All children would be English and the male-Scot blood would not exist anymore.

Answer: Both of them

The Bruce's father made arrangements with Longshanks for Wallace's capture in return for Longshanks making the Bruce king. Craig helped because he was afraid Wallace would kill him like the other nobles that deserted him at Falkirk.

Answer: William Wallace

Wallace says this to Princess Isabelle upon first meeting with her. She is very curious about what type of personality Wallace possesses. She is very surprised that he not only speaks Latin, but also French (her native language). Isabelle and Wallace develop a very short-lived love affair which results in her pregnancy with Wallace's child.

Answer: Stephen

In this film Stephen was a very biblical man he talked to the holy father. My favorite quote from "Braveheart" was when Stephen asked "If I risk my neck for you do I get to kill Englishman?" And Wallace replied "To answer your question Irishman, yes if you fight for me you get to kill the English." And Stephen says "Excellent". And he just has the funniest look on his face.

Answer: Pregnant

Longshanks, unable to talk from a rapidly worsening fatal condition, was given this information, unable to respond. The dying king did seem rather angry with his subsequent series of coughs, however.

Answer: York

This was after the nobles said that the invasion of England was "Impossible". William then made this huge speech about how it wasn't. When he sacked York, Longshanks said "If he can sack York, he can take all of lower England." This forced Longshanks to send the princess with terms of peace. While there she found out that Longshanks had hanged Scotlands nobles "under a flag of truce". This cause the princess to become supportive of Wallace, and warn him of danger.

Answer: lovers

This is not directly stated in the movie as it is in the book, but the movie implies this enough to understand the meaning.

Answer: Robert the Bruce

He said it to his father, on finding out that he had arranged Wallace's capture in exchange for Robert the Bruce becoming King of Scotland.

Answer: He knocked the Bruce off his horse thinking he was an English knight.

"Fight me! Fight me!"

The battle is going poorly for the Scots - not only that, but Campbell, Hamish's father, has been mortally wounded. William continues to fight, however. As he is approached by an English knight, William is able to unseat him, consequently reeling in horror as he realizes that the person is Robert the Bruce. Stunned and betrayed, William refuses to further engage the Bruce, even when goaded; William is rescued by Stephen with some help from the Bruce, and Robert is left behind to consider the gravity of his actions.

Robert the Bruce never betrayed William Wallace - that's not to say that they were the best of friends - especially in the early days of the uprising - but he later did support Wallace's efforts. Did you know that the title "Braveheart" actually refers to Robert and not Wallace? After Robert's death, his heart was carried into battle.

Answer: "Your blood dies with you. A child who is not of your line grows in my belly. Your son will not sit long on the throne, I swear it."

Although Wallace's name is not mentioned when she admits to being pregnant, the audience is left to assume it is William's child. The child was probably conceived during their last meeting when Longshanks sent the princess to meet Wallace so as to distract him while the king sent his armies north to Scotland.

Answer: Robert the Bruce

After Robert betrays Wallace he develops a great hatred for himself and his father. Wallace does not exact revenge upon Robert as he does Mornay and Lochlan. Robert will become the King of Scotland and it is apparent that Wallace still holds some trust for him and the future. Robert is the only noble with whom Wallace feels friendship since, even after his betrayal at Falkirk, Robert saves Wallace from being captured by British soldiers. It is finally at the hands of Robert's father that Wallace is caught and turned over to Longshanks. This action leads to Robert disowning his father.

Answer: "Your mother's been telling stories about me again, ah?"

This was said at a camp area for the men. William wanted the long spears to trump the English Cavalry when they charged the Scot's infantry.

Answer: Jesus Mercy

Steven couldn't bear seeing William tortured and was praying that William would receive mercy. You also hear Hamish say "Mercy William, mercy". This was when William screamed his last word "Freedom". This caused the Scotsmen to want freedom even more, so Robert the Bruce fought the English after that.

Answer: Straight down

Murron, despite her parents protesting, runs and jumps onto Wallace's horse, and they ride away together in the rain.

Answer: Longshanks

He said this just before riding off with the disguised Robert the Bruce.

Answer: Hamish and Stephen

"In the year of our Lord 1314, patriots of Scotland, starving and outnumbered, chargedd the fields of Bannockburn. They fought like warrior poets. They fought like Scotsmen. And won their freedom. Forever".

William Wallace has just been executed - disemboweled, drawn and quartered, and beheaded. Just crowned as the King of Scotland, Robert the Bruce, with his ragtag army, is preparing to pay homage to the English army, and in return gain the English endorsement of his rule. Robert looks at the handkerchief Murron made for William that he has kept. Instead, he rallies the men, and leads them into battle.

Hamish, Campbell, and Morrison were fictional people; there is one legend that Wallace had a friend named Stephen of Ireland, and another that Wallace's closest friend was named Kerly. Robert the Bruce was crowned King of Scotland in 1306, but never assembled his men to accept endorsement from anyone. The Battle of Bannockburn began as the Scots were laying siege to Stirling Castle, which was held by the English at the time. While trying to lift the siege, an English army was defeated by a much smaller Scottish army led by Robert the Bruce.
