That may have been the most feasible path for him to have gained fighting experience and possibly learn about English war tactics.
In fact, one possibility is he fought with King Edward I as a mercenary during that king's wars against the Welsh. We know that Wallace was an experienced swordsman and knight, indicating he may have fought in wars before his own rebellion and participation in the wars against the English. First, it is assumed Wallace came from a noble family two villages are often claimed as his birthplaces (Elderslie and Ellerslie), both on the western part of Scotland. However, little is known about Wallace's early years. In the movie, William Wallace is suggested to have traveled in Europe during Edward I's occupation of Scotland. While much of the story depicted did occur, including the English occupation of Scotland during the time of Edward I, king of England, the depiction of the revolt against the English and other events do not correspond well to historical accounts. That makes it ripe for discovery now that it’s hitting home video.The Love Letters of Gilbert Bradley and Gordon Bowsher “Only the Brave” was a box office disappointment when it came out last fall, getting lost among the Oscar bait and holiday blockbusters.
Josh Brolin, Miles Teller, Taylor Kitsch, Jeff Bridges, Andie MacDowell and Jennifer Connelly play the brave firemen and their family members, in an action-packed, at times tear-jerking eco-disaster tale, as much about the relationships between these people as it is about the specifics of extinguishing a blazing inferno - though there’s plenty of the latter as well. The rugged wilderness adventure is refreshingly old-fashioned: the kind of movie that makes older film buffs sigh and say, “They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.” A throwback to the days of macho directors like Howard Hawks and John Ford, the picture tells the true story of the wildfire-fighting Granite Mountain Hotshots, and the deadly 2013 Yarnell Hill fire.
