Princess Guinevere, the youngest daughter of Edward I of England, at just four years old, was sent to Scotland as the future bride of twelve-year-old Robert the Bruce, scion of the Bruce Clan and great-grandson of David I of Scotland. Since she was a child, Guinevere was put at the center of political games both by her father, who after the death of Alexander III wanted to get his hands on Scotland, and by the Scots, who on the contrary wanted to keep the English away from their territories. Although the marriage between the English princess and the young Bruce was of a political nature, a sincere feeling soon arose between the two, jeopardized by his ambition and her unpredictable nature. A further obstacle to the happy union was William Wallace, a fascinating leader who embraced the Scottish rebellion, and by allying himself with the patriot Andrew de Moray, made the throne of England tremble.
