Times Online har gått loss på historieböckerna och listar de 10 filmer som ignorerat mest historiska fakta i sina berättelser. En viss Mel Gibson finns flitigt representerad på listan, inte minst med “Braveheart”:
“[William] Wallace was not the poor villager the film depicts, but a landowner and minor knight. The litany of fibs extends from Wallace’s love interest (Queen Isabella would have been about two-years-old at the time) to his kilt – a garment not developed for another three centuries. The historian Sharon L. Krossa likens it to “a film about Colonial America showing the colonial men wearing 20th century business suits.’”
