I watched Braveheart last night for the first time since the 90's, and I was hoping someone could shed some light on who William Wallace actually was, versus how he's depicted/remembered today.
Search thru the files - I remember a rather long post not too long ago that dealt with your question
In the film, they show William's brother, John,and his father being killed and that he became orphaned had to live with his uncle. According to the genealogical record John Wallace had children.
