My concern is not with political correctness or lack thereof, although you
are quite right to point out that people will fuss over
just about anything.  My point about the problem of the portrayal
of Edw. II was historiographical.  As you correctly note, "we don't
know."  But it's the historian's duty to try to find out, or at least 
develop a reasonable hypothesis until more information is
discovered.  In the case of the Edw II portrayed in Braveheart, the
historiographical issue is clouded by modern ones, like political
correctness.
