The best thing is they just show how exhausted everyone gets as the battle drags on. You can feel it as you watch it.

[@TheBlazingDead]

That's why I like the fight in The King between Henry V and Percy Hotspur. There's a few seconds where they just lay there, breathing heavily. Really drives home how physically demanding it is.

[@MJCoachthecoach]

Good point!

[@pendragonU]

they were really slower events of hours and the rate of killings really slower than this "fisher tales" of one individual killing 6-9 of the enemy. If each soldier killed just 1 or 2 the enemy forces left would not have been able to stand the overwhelming numbers of enemy killing at that easy pace. I believe they do it for film expediency and bring some emotions with these Fast-Forward scenes of non-stop hacks left and right (as if children and not adults experienced troops or led by their companies officers) other than looking at enemies milling each other and coming to brief clashes and back, which a whole day of it or just 4 hours of it, was the real stamina drain

Jaimie your grace or my lord shouldn't we hide the the dothraki and the knights of the vale in the left and right flanks and give them a signle to attack at the right time when the dead attack our main army, Jon no that's a bad idea Jaimie only a fool like King Robb would do that we should attack the dead just with the dothraki without the nights of the vale and the nights of the vale should dismount their horses it wouldn't be a fair fight with so many caverly. tyrion lannister my lord i could smuggle som wild wildfire from Kingslanding i destroyed half of the stormlanders army in seconds both stannises and renlys armies ask Ser davos his son died in the battle of the blackwater Jon answers only a fool like Tyrion Lannister would do that. Jaimie again, your grace or my lord or what the hell you are on my way here i got Lord Edmure Tully out of the Prison and asked him to rally the Riverlords to come to our aid, Jon answers you fu..ing id..ts what is wrong with you guys we dount have time for that, send a raven to lord Edmure and tell him to chill and relax and let him be ready for the battle of Kingslanding or they can just live there Lifes in peace like the DONRNISH ARMY.

This is a much better historical recreation than anything in Braveheart. It's just a pity that they couldn't have stuck to the history even here. Edward was nowhere near this battle and, had he been captured as depicted, he would have been either kept for a high ransom or executed by Robert to avenge the deaths of his two brothers at Carlisle under the orders of Edward of the Long Shanks. Also, as the battle progressed, the Scots made a gradual tactical retreat up the hill, all the while spearing the English as they advanced up the increasing gradient. Must have been fun, lol.

'English' is difficult to describe Edward i & ii and his noblemen and barons as 'English' considering none of them could speak the language and where kings of Occitan and Anjou, 'Norman French' is more accurate, the 'English' are the poor peasants pressed to fight in these battles. the Scots would have looked very similar, the cavalry and knights would be draped in their clan colours and would have the same military set-up and armour, its annoying to see dirty unkempt scots with rudimentary weapons, the only thing they actually lacked is numbers, 100 mounted full armoured knights compared to 2000.

Excellent ambush, you can see that the English really learned from this and employed such tactics on an even greater scale, using the longbow to deadly effect in addition to a defensive posture of men-at-arms. For the next 150+ years the longbow dominated the battlefields of France and Britain

The defensive design of a deep ditch with sharpened logs combined with the last second infantry retreat...was a winning strategy. Digging defensive ditch adjoining the bog and swamp was smart. Once the horses were stuck the archers could rapidly finish them off. Would armies not send scouts out 24 hrs ahead of armies? Maybe the Scotlish killed them? Brilliant strategy and scene.

[@kainschild]

I know old post but the reason this worked so the English didn't expect it. If their scouts had gotten close enough they might not have even know what to look for. As you saw the Scotts first formed their line in front of the trench then fell back as the horsemen approached thus shielding it till the last moment.

[@SantomPh]

the English army were already looking for Robert, who had raided nearby towns and garrisons and was known to have camped on the hill. The man calling the retreat, Aymer de Valance was already defeated by Robert a week or so previously at Glen Trool and was leading the army trying to find Robert.

When watching clips like this .. it's so easy to pick things apart. It did look very realistic , especially the horses getting mangled in the trenches. There should always be more blood. Think about it , every dead man lost at least two quarts of blood, not to mention the horses.... God that must have been a nasty fuckin mess. If you ever want to try an imagine fighting like that , find a good , solid DEAD tree. Get yourself a good one handed axe and balance it out with something , set a timer for two minutes and have at it with the intention of doing as much damage as fast as you can in two minutes. Stop at two and if you did it correctly your going to be out of breath, your arm will be tired. You'll be sweaty and in need of a break. Then imagine not getting that break cuz while you've havked and slain those 3 or 4 poor bastards you've got ten more coming and they're mad as hell, back to it ! Now I didn't factor in things like Elan and emotions like fear , hatred , anger , love. You fear not just death but the pain of death , if you fall, chances are it won't be clean and quick . You hate your enemy for invading your Homeland , raping your women and enslaving your folk. You're angry because you're in a really bad place in life and there's no way out except defeat or victory, and all of those tie into you're love for your people , your land , your family and your leader. Fighting someone to the death that is carrying those emotions wouldn't be easy at all.. just pondering.

Keep in mind what they were wearing because of the climate [definitely not light cotton fabric]. Heavy woolen fabric under more woolen fabric under armor.

You also have to figure how much tougher these people were back then, life was much harsher and everything was done by hard labor. But why were the Scots so darn tough, nobody wanted to fight them hand to hand. The English learned the hard way, their victories were either won by longbow or horse charge but up close the Scots were unequaled!!!

@@ksodz1397 probably less Anglo Saxon or Norman than thought. With DNA being quite the thing now, historians are questioning the mainstream history of Britons. There has been to camps of early British history. Camp 1 believe that Rome left a small population, then the Saxons, Jutes etc massively populated England, then Vikings, then Normans. The effects it had was the Native Britons died out of existence. The Left Wing over the last 40 years have parroted this narrative to justify mass immigration into England on the pretence that Britain is a mongrel nation. CAMP 2 has always maintained that there is no evidence that suggests Native Britons were replaced by foreigner invaders and the foreign invasions was on a much smaller scale. With DNA testing showing camp 2 to be more accurate. They DNA’d a five thousand year old skeleton found in a Somerset cave. Then DNA’d some of the local people and found direct decedents. English people are now having DNA tested and most are coming back as British or some as mostly British and some Germanic. They are finding zero Roman and little traces of Scandinavian. Also they are finding Briton DNA in Scottish and Irish and not the “Celtic” DNA.

I did enjoy the Movie , Much better than Braveheart. I live in a village about 5 miles from the Battlesite. The valley is very narrow and the Hill which is an old volcanic rock dominates the landscape, Its pretty high, giving a great vantage point to see all along the Vallley for miles. The ground is very heavy and when it rains gets really muddy. That's why the Horse charge would have had little effect. Infantry wise the Warriors Bruce had with him were all very experienced fighters, A number were from the Isles and those guys lived a tough life. The English soldiers were coming from the Garrison Town of Ayr. Only a few would have been Knight's , I believe the numbers were around 1600 English and 600/800 Scots. For the Scots this was the first Battle of Independence. More an ambush....Winning this Battle showed Bruce was back , After this victory he started to retake Castles all across Scotland and his Army grew every week, Giving him the chance to win at Banockburn and achieve immortality in the eyes of the Scottish people.

[@Delogros]

The English where not the "best army in the world", no idea where this comes from :S Just off the top of my head Spain and France both definitely had better armies then England at this point in history, in part because of better and far more numerous heavy cavalry something the English then British armies have always lacked due to the way our Island is formed, not enough grassy plains or something. Portugal had the same problem, just because it's funny the Portuguese army in 1807 was meant to have 7 Regiments (7,000 cavalrymen) there was a problem though, they only had 6,400 horses in the whole country.

[@Axel1051]

@@Delogros Maybe Spain had a better army but no way did the French. I wasn't much later that Agincourt and the 100 years war took place. The French relied heavily on subcontracting mercenaries from other states and they needed the help of Scotland in the "Auld Alliance" to keep England in check. France only became a true European superpower when a diminutive corporal from Corsica called Bonaparte proclaimed himself emperor.

[@Delogros]

@@Axel1051 We may have to agree to disagree on this one, for a start France in 1307 (when this battle took place as I am sure you know from what you've said but it's always good to clarify these things) had a population more then twice the size of Englands which is a pretty important point, as you say they could also afford mercenary's because France was significantly richer, the success of the English in relative terms at the start of the 100 years war was that the English had professional longbowmen which was not the case in 1307 yet, English armies would as a general rule be small but exceptional well trained for the time period when the majority of armies where essentially militias, the other strength the English would have is their commanders many of whom where excellent until they all slowly died away and, well history is history on that one :) Ultimately I suppose it depends on how you attribute military power, the main two things that would allow England to kick the crap out of France (a country on paper far far more powerful economically and militarily) didn't fully exist at this point, in fact the leadership side would take decades.

Of course warfare amongst the various clans up in the Western Scottish Highlands & over in Ireland was also exceedingly bloody & vicious.

Outlaw King was mostly historically accurate, but I wish the film included my favorite moment of the Battle of Bannockburn. Sir Henry de Bohun riding with the English van, spots King Robert 'the Bruce' riding a small pony and holding only an axe. Sir Henry leaves the column and rides out to kill the King of Scotland. King Robert sees Sir Henry, but to Sir Henry's great confusion, King Robert isn't reacting at all. He was just sitting on his pony. Sir Henry lowers his lance and aims at the King, only for King Robert to suddenly drift his pony to the right. As a result, Sir Henry misses the King and rears his horse. But that's the last thing Sir Henry de Bohun ever does. King Robert raises his axe above his head and hits Sir Henry so hard that his helmet broke in two. King Robert, instead of lamenting the bravery of the now dead knight, laments that his favorite axe is now broken.
