The bridge at Stirling was only wide enough for two horses to cross side by side. Wallace allowed only half the English army to cross the bridge before destroying the supports. This meant that half the English army were on one side of the river unable to join the other half who were now at the mercy of the Scottish army. The result was the slaughter of the English.

∙ 11y agoThe Scottish used pikes to combat the English King's love of knights. When the Scottish was fought down by the Englishmen, the Scots didn't have much in the way of armour or weapons, but they still used crude, homemade pikes against the English. Edward the first used lots of longbows and cavalry so you can just look at normal knight equipment from the early 1300 period. The longbow was a favorite in Edward the first arsenal which also resolved in the defeat of William Wallace at Kirkwall.

Is Braveheart a true story?
The movie took liberties with history but most films do; but here are some areas where Hollywood and history diverged. First. and possibly least important, Sir William Wallace was never called "Braveheart" and while Wallace did kill an Englishman it was not for the rape and murder of his wife but for an unspecified insult. Of course, the Mel Gibson version makes for better drama. Next in the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Gibson left out the bridge -- he explained that it made for better cinematography to leave out the bridge (and the film might have gone over budget for the construction costs of a bridge) so Gibson had them fight it out in an open field. Next, Scots warriors of Sir William's time did NOT wear war paint into battle (they did that during Roman times). And finally, Robert the Bruce, who led the victorious war of Scottish independence, was not quite the conniving cad depicted in "Braveheart." Like Wallace, Bruce (an ancestor of mine) is a national hero of Scotland. Whatever the film's historic flaws, however, it contributed to a rebirth of Scottish nationalism among native Scots and their kin overseas.
