The gender of the film is action, war, drama and biography.
A fact:
The problem here is that at the time of Wallace and Moray's risings in 1297/8 and Wallace's execution in 1305, Isabella was 9 years old and living happily in France. Moreover, she did not marry Edward II until late 1307 long after both Wallace and Edward I were dead.
Another fact: The Scots are all wearing plaids, Wallace was probably the younger son of a knight from Ayrshire, moreover the dress of the nobles and peasantry in England and Scotland was pretty much the same.

The short answer is that is hasn't an iota of fact in it. The long answer appears below.

It's a good film, just don't take it as fact. I have left out a number of bits of the film here as they obviously fall apart given the facts. For example, Isabella cannot have been carrying Wallace's child (and presumably Edward III) as she was in France at the time and did not arrive in England until two years after Wallace's death. She could also therefore have not warned him at York (which Wallace didn't attack anyway)."
