It belonged to his bride who was murdered for disobeying the new, self-proclaimed King's law that all brides spend their wedding night with the King. Scotland was occupied by the English.
In defiance of this law, Braveheart and his bride were married in secret, but someone betrayed them. She was tied to a post and murdered in front of him and the rest of the village.

It was given to him as a wedding token by his wife Murron, when they secretly married shortly before she was killed by the English.

I would guess it represented his overall goals for himself or others that followed him to freely have a family, a home and children.
He lost his personal goal when his head was chopped off, but Robert the Bruce carried on his dream.

AWESOME movie!
It meant something to him - his wife/soulmate gave it to him, and she was brutally murdered. It was what kept him going on...

It came from his wife. He kept it after they killed her. It (I think) kept him close to her. GREAT MOVIE

His wife, who had been murdered, made it and gave it to him on their wedding night.
