He seems skeptical about the idea of myths and doesn't believe in magic, as shown in the beginning when he makes fun of Merida for claiming she saw wisps and refused to believe her when Merida told him the bear he'd encountered in the tapestry room was his wife under a spell. He treasures his daughter as well to the point he told the other lords that none of their sons were fit to marry his daughter. This also coincides with his ability to hold grudges, as he held a long-standing grudge on Mor'du for eating his leg. Though he entered into an arranged marriage with Elinor, he truly loves her as if they married for love and was so upset when he thought she died that he sent everyone including the lords and their clans to hunt down the bear responsible (not knowing that Elinor didn't die but in fact was the bear). However, he is also a wise ruler and knows when to be serious. He loves fighting and enjoyed getting into a brawl with the other lords and their clans. He has a good sense of humor which he passed on to Merida, such as when they both mock the lord's sons attempts at shooting arrows. In fact, he even states that he feels that a person needs to protect themselves and defended Merida's choice of using bows, seeing them as a valuable weapon for self-defense. He is fun-loving and easygoing, often playing around with his children rather than bringing them up to be royalty.
MEREDITH BRAVE HOW TO
Fergus does have a temper, often getting annoyed at the antics of his triplet sons and the lords, but he knows how to have a good time and can be fairly patient. He is the polar opposite of his wife in that he doesn't stick to or adhere to tradition as strictly as her and enjoys having fun with his children.

He is a very kind person and is very friendly, getting along with others quite well.

Eventually, he would have a daughter named Merida and, many years later, three triplet sons named Harris, Hubert, and Hamish. He ultimately succeeded in defeating his opponent with a "nimble counter and deft riposte", winning Elinor's hand and becoming her husband. He proved himself a master at archery and bested all others in the hammer throw, but faced a skilled opponent in a sword fight.

Inspiring the people with his warrior skill and leadership abilities, when the invaders were driven off, the leaders of the other three clans bowed their heads to him and named him their High King.Īt some point after this, as a young man, Fergus participated in a contest of several feats of combat as a suitor for Elinor's hand in marriage. Lord Macintosh saved Fergus's life by charging in on a heavy horse and held off the enemy's advance. Fergus saved the life of Lord MacGuffin by stopping an arrow as MacGuffin ran to the aid of Lord Dingwall. When Scotland was besieged by invaders from the sea, it was Fergus who brought the four clans together to fight their common foe. Once only the leader of Clan DunBroch, one of the four largest clans in the Highlands, Fergus took part in many of the inter-clan feuds and battles between his clan and the other three. Snippets of dialogue throughout the film reveal Fergus' history: Protector of his kingdom and family, King Fergus is a heroic warrior with a majestic bear cape, broad sword, and a knobby peg leg – the result of his much-regaled skirmish with the demon bear, Mor'du.
