Plot – At the end of the thirteenth century, the usurper Edward I Longshanks, King of England, sits on the throne of Scotland. The Scot William Wallace, whose family had been murdered by the English army, becomes an educated man. Since he is attached to the traditions of his rural homeland, he returns in his village after many years. Here he would like to start a family with the beautiful Murron, whom he marries in secret to evade "Prima Nocte" imposed by the feudal English Lord. He saves her from an attempted rape, but the young woman gets captured and brutally murdered. Full of rage, William raises a revolt that excludes the English soldiers from the territory after defeating them in Stirling. With his army of volunteers from all over Scotland, Wallace conquers York. The worried Edward I sends his incompetent son’s wife, the princess Isabella of France, to negotiate with Wallace. The sly tyrant thinks to take advantage of the charme and intelligence of the young Isabella to tame Wallace.
