Since this category was not meant to include horses, it should be 100% NO votes, since no other animals die in this movie.

Graphically and unnecessarily in just about every scene. Almost as if it's the main focus of the movie really
A very unnecessary and graphic scene where after Wallace kills an English Soldier with a morning star, another soldier starts stabbing Wallace's horse in the throat with a spear and it is as graphic as it was unnecessary.
The Battle Of Sterling Bridge (Actually Falkirk) for 3-5 minutes, several horses are graphically shown being stabbed and impaled by spears and every one of them are shown bleeding and screaming as they die and slamming dead on the ground and it looks very realistic. (I get that it actually happened but there was no need to put that much emphasis on it)
Later in the movie Wallace forces his horse to jump out of the highest window of a barracks and into a mote. It's body is shown floating dead in the moat.
Towards the end Robert The Bruce charges Wallace with a jousting lance and ends up killing Wallace's horse with it in a close up shot like the rest of the mentioned scenes

An English soldier tries to rape William Wallace’s wife. Also, while the assault is not on-screen, soldiers come to a wedding under the institution of “prima noctae,” taking the new bride away to sleep with her. She rides away with a soldier and that’s all we see, but it may be triggering to abuse survivors.

Wallace is hanged, drawn & quartered at the end. When he's going through the drawn & quarter part of this execution style, you pretty much only see his face.

The main character’s wife is killed by having her throat slit, though that scene isn’t graphic and doesn’t show the actual cut. In retaliation for her murder, the main character later murders her killer in the same way, though this scene is shown more graphically.

A character’s head is smashed, another character has an arrow pulled out of his body, and there are lots of dead bodies. During battle sequences, there’s a lot of graphic stabbing/impaling, shooting with arrows, and beheadings. Blood on characters in the aftermath of battles is shown.
