England Vs Scotland | 1297AD Historical Battle of Stirling Bridge | Total War Battle

In 1296, John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, defeated John Comyn, Earl of Buchan in the Battle of Dunbar. King John Balliol surrendered to King Edward I of England at Brechin on 10 July, and the Scottish landholders were made to acknowledge Edward's overlordship. In 1297, Moray initiated a revolt in northern Scotland and by the late summer, controlled Urquhart, Inverness, Elgin, Banff and Aberdeen. Wallace joined Moray in September near Dundee, and they marched to Stirling. Stirling, in the words of Stuart Reid, was "traditionally regarded as the key to Scotland." Meanwhile, Surrey had joined Cressingham in July and both had arrived at Stirling by 9 September 1297. By then, Moray and Wallace had already occupied Abbey Craig.

When Braveheart was being filmed, a local man asked Mel Gibson why the battle was being filmed on an open field and not on a bridge like the real battle. Gibson replied: "It got in the way." The local responded with: "Aye, that’s what the English found too."

I wonder why the man did not ask Mel Gibson why the scotts had blue paint in their faces

@@billy9816 Yeah but where did the idea of the painted face come from? Scotts aint only picts

hate to burst ur bubble but they filmed it in ireland mate

[@manuelacosta9463]

Stirling Bridge is quite quite a famous battle, especially given his badly mauled the English were. It was certainly a wake up call and sure gave the Scots their reputation as to be reckoned with.

[@PerssTheMerryMan]

Don't use late period units. I mean, they are listed as "high" in the mod, but they are actually late medieval. Early units would be better.

[@amongthethorns8788]

Hah thanks! This came along just in time for the topic in my boy's History class.

[@MrSpock-ww3qt]

fantastic video.

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks man !

If a foreign power enters your country in order to subjugate you and you fight back that does not make you a rebel

[@WarriorOfTheStorm]

Today it makes you a terrorist at least if you ask Russians.

[@thomsboys77]

Scotland joined the alliance with England on their own accord…

[@user-ls5ik1vm3k]

@@thomsboys77 Did the battle of Culloden have anything to with that? Was that just a last gasp of Scottish resistance before the inevitable?

2 different things

[@tangerinedreamer50]

According to blind harrys documentations the horses could only go two abreast across the bridge at a time can you imagine them trying to get back across this led to alot of men drowning in the forth what a site that would of been

[@pissedoff-is1mt]

Nice one bud!

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks man, are there any particular battles you would like to see in the future ?

[@user-ls5ik1vm3k]

@@cinematicbattles559 I'll answer. There are so many! Do you mean any battle from any time? Well, how about Leipzig,1813, Napoleon vs., well, everybody else in Europe. 2nd Bull Run, 1862. Golan Heights, 1973, the 2nd largest tank battle in history, between Israel and Syria. I could be wrong, but I feel those 3, as well as some others, don't get mentioned as much, as opposed to, say, D-Day, Gettysburg, Hastings, you get the picture. But hey, great work. Keep em' coming!

[@OotsutsukiShibai]

You used wrong tier of units from this mod. There was no full plate armor in 1297.

[@OotsutsukiShibai]

But it's still great video

[@cinematicbattles559]

Thanks i appreciate it

[@ZecaPinto1]

Bro Why using 15th century soldiers in a battle of the 13th century?

[@cinematicbattles559]

My apologies this is an issue with the mod, hope you enjoyed otherwise

[@GodofToast]

@@cinematicbattles559 No it’s not, you just selected the wrong units. Still a fun video though

@@cinematicbattles559 I think it's called a trebuchet, or something similar sounding.
