Quotes 

• [to Longshanks] 

  Princess Isabelle : You see? Death comes to us all. But before it comes to you, know this: your blood dies with you. A child who is not of your line grows in my belly. Your son will not sit long on the throne. I swear it.

• Princess Isabelle : The king desires peace.

  William Wallace : Longshanks desires peace?

  Princess Isabelle : He declares it to me, I swear it. He proposes that you withdraw your attack. In return he grants you title, estates, and this chest of gold which I am to pay to you personally.

  William Wallace : A lordship and titles. Gold. That I should become Judas?

  Princess Isabelle : Peace is made in such ways.

  William Wallace : Slaves are made in such ways. The last time Longshanks spoke of peace I was a boy. And many Scottish nobles, who would not be slaves, were lured by him under a flag of truce to a barn, where he had them hanged. I was very young, but I remember Longshanks' notion of peace.

• Princess Isabelle : I understand you have suffered. I know... about your woman.

  William Wallace : [pauses]  She was my wife. We married in secret because I would not share her with an English lord. They killed her to get to me. I've never spoken of it, I don't know why I tell you now, except... I see her strength in you. One day, you'll be a queen. And you must open your eyes. You tell your king that William Wallace will *not* be ruled... and nor will any Scot while I live.

• William Wallace : Why do you help me?

  Princess Isabelle : Because of the way you are looking at me now.

• Princess Isabelle : I understand you have recently been given the rank of knight.

  William Wallace : I have been given nothing. God makes men what they are.

• Princess Isabelle : I've come to beg for the life of William Wallace.

  Prince Edward : [scoffs]  You're quite taken with him, aren't you?

  Princess Isabelle : I respect him!

• Princess Isabelle : The king will be dead in a month and his son is a weakling. Who do you think will rule this kingdom?
