Storyboard Tekst

  • On the 23rd of June - 1314, Robert Bruce led the Scottish army of 6000 men (no more than 500 cavalry) met the English led by Edward II (the son of the late King Edward I) of 27000 with 2000 of them being cavalry. The battle would take place near the besieged Stirling castle. The scots would be hidden within the depths of Torwood forest - arranged into 4 defensive groups.
  • The battle started with English knight Sir Henry leading a battalion of cavalry at The Scottish. Robert Bruce himself led a small amount of cavalry to deal with the threat. The Scottish had dug hidden potholes to make it harder for the English cavalry. This worked to great affect. The English in disarray, Henry decided to go for glory with his armoured horse he charged at Bruce and got killed. His head chopped of by Robert with such force it broke his axe.
  • Meanwhile, The English led a surprise attack from the side of the forest led by Clifford. At last Morray, a Scottish general, spotted the imminent danger and led his schiltron. The English weren't able to get past this solid defence and retreated. This was the end of battling for the night.
  • On that same night, for reason still unknown to this day, Sir Alexander Seton deserted the English camp and told Bruce that if the only way to beat the only way to beat the English would be to confront them in open warfare. Bruce asks his men 'shall we fight them'. He is received with a resounding yes.
  • Before advancing in battle the Scottish knelt down to pray. The Scottish slowly advanced in their schiltrons. The organised and defensive Scots proved too hard for the English to break down. Whilst the Scottish were coordinated and organised; the English were the opposite. Wounded horse trotting around, disarray within the front lines and poor leadership from Edward may have cost them the battle
  • The cherry on the cake for the Scottish was when the Scottish peasants got out of hand and rushed on to the battle field. The English thought that they were the reinforcements and immediately retreated. In the end the Scottish had only lost 100 men whereas the English suffered 3000 casualties. King Edward was escorted away by a group of knights.
