The film largely takes place during the 3-year period from 1304, when Bruce decides to rebel against the rule of Edward I over Scotland, up to the 1307 Battle of Loudoun Hill. Outlaw King was co-written, produced, and directed by David Mackenzie.
Outlaw King mostly takes place after the events of Braveheart, though the opening sequence where Robert and the Scottish lords swear fealty to King Edward I ("King Longshanks", as he's referred to in Mel Gibson's film) happens after the pivotal Battle of Falkirk where William Wallace was defeated and goes into hiding.
