And the real princess that Mel Gibson's character of William Wallace had a fling with would actually have been a child of (I think) 5-6 at the time not a grown woman. Hollywood changed the facts to create a better story.
and of course William Wallace was suppose to have been a very tall man, 6-6 at least. Mel Gibson is just a little bit shorter than that.
