I just noticed you are asking alot of Braveheart questions! Which is perfectly fine because its my fave! Consider this quote"
Princess Isabelle: The king desires peace.
William Wallace: Longshanks desires peace?
Princess Isabelle: He declares it to me, I swear it. He proposes that you withdraw your attack. In return he grants you title, estates, and this chest of gold which I am to pay to you personally.
William Wallace: A lordship and titles. Gold. That I should become Judas?
Princess Isabelle: Peace is made in such ways.
William Wallace: Slaves are made in such ways. The last time Longshanks spoke of peace I was a boy. And many Scottish nobles, who would not be slaves, were lured by him under a flag of truce to a barn, where he had them hanged. I was very young, but I remember Longshank's notion of peace.
She needs to open her eyes and realize what is really going on here! Longshanks is keeping these people under opression and she needs to realize that is not how to rule

Because there was a lot of corruption at the time, stemming from corrupt royalty. People were suffering. He is implying that she might not understand the extent to which common people were suffering at that time, and if she were to become ruler, than she would need to see what everyday people were dealing with.That way she can change it.
