Marion Braidfute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marrion Braidfute of Lamington was, according to Blind Harry, a maiden whom William Wallace courted and married. She was killed by Sir William Heselrig, the English Sheriff of Lanark. Wallace avenged her death by killing Heselrig and then dismembering his corpse. In the movie Braveheart, her name was changed to Murron MacClannough so American audiences would not confuse her with Maid Marian. There is no historical evidence to corroborate her existence.
