What disease is Longshanks dying of in the 1995 movie "Braveheart"?

In the 1995 film Braveheart, Longshanks is dying of tuberculosis.

The character is Edward I of England, nicknamed Longshanks, and the film shows his health deteriorating near the end of the story. The illness is commonly identified as consumption, an older term historically associated with tuberculosis. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most often affects the lungs, where it can produce weakness, wasting, coughing, and progressive decline.

This answer applies to the movie’s fictionalized portrayal, not to the historical Edward I. Braveheart takes substantial liberties with real events, relationships, and chronology. In reality, Edward I died in 1307 after becoming seriously ill while campaigning near the Scottish border; historical accounts commonly associate his death with dysentery rather than tuberculosis.

That distinction is the main source of confusion. The quiz asks what disease Longshanks is dying of in the film, so tuberculosis is the expected answer. It should not be treated as a medically documented diagnosis for the real medieval king.
