Trivia: The movie “Braveheart” is loosely based on what Scottish battle?
Battle of the Bulge
Battle of Stirling Bridge
Battle of Marathon
Operation Overlord
The correct answer is Battle of Stirling Bridge
So why is this answer correct? : Starring Mel Gibson as the Scottish martyr William Wallace, the 1995 movie “Braveheart” was based on the Battle of Stirling Bridge against England in the late 13th century. Wallace spearheaded Scotland’s resistance against England, which led to this infamous battle on September 11, 1297, on the River Forth in central Scotland. In the movie, Wallace’s prolific “Freedom” speech takes place at the Stirling Bridge battle scene. Today, the Old Stirling Bridge stands as a memorial to the bloody battle.
