Product Description

Braveheart Claymore

This large, two-handed claymore is designed in the style of the sword used by Mel Gibson in the 1995 film, Braveheart, loosely based around the life of Scottish Hero, Sir William Wallace.

Sir William Wallace (Uilleam Uallas; 1272 – 23 August 1305) was a Scottish knight and landowner who is known for leading a resistance during the Wars of Scottish Independence and is today remembered as a patriot and national hero.

Along with Andrew Moray, he defeated an English army at Stirling, and became Guardian of Scotland, serving until his defeat at the Battle of Falkirk. After several years in hiding, Wallace was eventually found and captured in Robroyston near Glasgow and handed over to Edward I of England (“Longshanks”), who had him executed for treason.

Wallace was the inspiration for the poem, The Acts and Deeds of Sir William Wallace, Knight of Elderslie, by the 15th-century minstrel, Blind Harry and this poem subsequently became the basis of Randall Wallace’s screenplay for the 1995 film Braveheart.

This item has a swede wrapped handle. Although durable and well-made, this sword is not suitable for use in re-enactment/MMA.
