Martyred Wife Skills: Farming, Cooking, Herbology Motivation: To live in peace with Wallace Weakness: Dead Murron was the Scottish farmgirl whom Wallace loved from childhood. Upon his return from abroad, he secretly courted and married her, against her father's wishes. Shortly after their marriage, a lecherous English soldier tried to rape her in her small village. She struggled with him briefly before being rescued by Wallace. The spurned guard called for others and the pair fled, but Mutton was captured and publicly executed in an attempt to lure Wallace into the open. In vengeance, Wallace and a local resistance group massacred the entire brigade, thus beginning his long battle against the English crown. Murton's primary purpose is simply a cherished memory to inspire Wallace in his battles. She appears to him several times in dreams, but beyond that, has little or no direct influence on the events in the film. Early participants in the Scottish revolt may have known her from early life or have witnessed her execution at the hands of the English. She is a victim of the cruelty and suffering that the Longshanks has inflicted upon Scotland - one of countless murdered during his reign.
