Traditional
Primary
The film champions national independence and the restoration of traditional sovereignty through the strong leadership of a monarch, aligning its dominant themes with conservative values of patriotism and traditional authority.

Secondary
The film depicts Edward II, a historical figure with implied same-sex relationships, as a cruel and effeminate antagonist. His 'otherness' and close bond with Piers Gaveston are presented as elements of his villainy, contributing to a problematic portrayal that associates implied queer identity with negative character traits without counterbalance or affirmation.
The film portrays Christianity, specifically Catholicism, as a significant force in 14th-century Scotland, influencing politics and personal morality. While it depicts the political maneuvering and hypocrisy of some Church figures, it ultimately affirms the sincere faith of characters like Robert the Bruce as a source of strength and moral guidance.
