Brave is set in the mystical Scottish Highlands, where MΓ©rida is the princess of a kingdom ruled by King Fergus and Queen Elinor. An unruly daughter and an accomplished archer, MΓ©rida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. In an attempt to set things right, MΓ©rida seeks out an eccentric old Wise Woman and is granted an ill-fated wish. Also figuring into MΓ©ridaβs quest β and serving as comic relief β are the kingdomβs three lords: the enormous Lord MacGuffin, the surly Lord Macintosh, and the disagreeable Lord Dingwall.
