William Wallace was set up by some Scottish nobles not long afterwards and captured by the English. The pair proceeded to make love that night. Isabella slipped away and met Wallace at a cabin, where she admitted to Wallace that she is in love with him when he asked why she helped him. At the meeting place Wallace and his men trapped the English assassins in a cabin which they set on fire, burning them to death. Isabella in turn warned Wallace of this new trap. What no one knew was that Nicolette overheard the whole thing and reported on this to Isabella. Longshanks decided again to send Isabella up to talk peace, but actually planned to have her murdered and frame Wallace in order to secure the French King's cooperation in dealing with Wallace. Wallace and his forces rushed off to fight the English at Falkirk, but they suffered a devastating defeat.Īfter Wallace recovered he renewed his efforts to make Scotland independent of England. She had Nicolette return with a warning to Wallace of the King's true intentions. Returning home she learned that the olive branch was a ruse to give Edward time to assemble an army to attack Wallace. Isabella returned home, giving the money she was to bribe Wallace with to the poor. Wallace told her that he was not willing to talk peace with Longshanks. Wallace told Isabella that she reminded him of Murron. He went on to tell her that they killed Murron to get to him, and that he had never spoken of their marriage to anyone else. Wallace told her that Murron had been his wife, and that they married in secret because of Edward's program of prima nocta. She told him that she knew of his lover Murron. Meeting Wallace for the first time she spoke to him in private. He then decided to buy Wallace off, and sent Isabella north to talk to him. Returning home Longshanks promptly murdered his son's friend Phillip and gave him a brutal beating. Wallace and his troops then sacked the city of York. The army was crushed at the hands of Wallace and Scottish forces. Isabella's husband soon sent an army north to deal with Wallace. Isabella found herself fascinated by the stories of the Scottish commoner who was standing up to English oppression and the true love between Wallace and his late lover Murron.
