Corrected entry: In the movie it was portrayed that king Henry fell off his horse at his first meeting with Anne and that he was not badly injured. Henry was actually married to Anne when the horse fell on top of him and his injuries would have been very bad as the horse falling on top of him would have been like being involved in a 40mph car crash with no protection.

Correction: True as that might be regarding King Henry, the fact is this movie is not a documentary, so the filmmakers are well within their rights, by means of artistic license, to fabricate plot points and change or embellish any of the historical facts to suit their storyline.

Braveheart (1995)

Corrected entry: When William goes back to his village, the surroundings consist of big mountains and deep valleys when, in fact, William Wallace was said to be from a village called Elderslie which is in the Lowlands. I live two minutes outside Elderslie and there are some nice hills around here but the nearest mountain is Ben Lomond and that's about half an hour away.

Correction: There is no definitive proof of Wallace's birthplace - tradition suggests that he may have been born in Elderslie, but this is based entirely on circumstantial evidence; other locations have also been suggested over the years. As such, no factual error can realistically be presented regarding the depiction of his birthplace.
