Robert the Bruce: The Real Braveheart

Surely you've seen the 1995 Mel Gibson movie Braveheart. It was an exciting war film, but pretty much nonsense as far as a historical drama goes. Even the title Braveheart was a deviation from history, as that nickname belonged to Robert the Bruce. Robert's life had its ups and downs, as he fought for Scottish independence, lost his best friend William Wallace, crowned himself king, hid out in a cave watching spiders, and returned to battle England's King Edward II. But the story of how Robert earned the nickname Braveheart only comes later in the video, and very late in Robert's story. (via Digg)
