In the movie the English didn't know Wallace had married in secret. The garrison soldiers attempted to rape his wife and he stopped them. They were able to capture her and killed her to draw Wallace out. Her death was the raison d'etre not him sharing the wedding bed.
Isnt that how braveheart started? Something about the king having a night with any dude's wife..
Pedantic, but the king in Braveheart just passed the law. One that let every English Lord in Scotland do it instead of just him.
