On September 11, 1297 during the Scottish War of Independence, the English army led by John de Warrenne and Hugh De Cressingham met the Scottish Army led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray at the Forth River near Stirling. Between them was a small wooden bridge that was only wide enough to allow the English to cross 2-3 abreast at a time. Wallace and Moray allowed roughly half of the English forces to cross the bridge before attacking, which was a violation of the rules of chivalry, trapping the English in a bend in the river. It was an absolute slaughter and an immense victory for the Scottish. They came into battle outnumbered 9000 to 5000 and only had about 300 cavalry compared to the English 7000, but in the end over 5000 English soldiers and 100 of their cavalry would die and England would be forced to retreat. The Scots would suffer very few casualties but would lose Andrew Moray in battle. The man in the picture is English King Edward I, also known as Longshanks, also known as The Hammer of the Scots. He would eventually have his revenge on Wallace.
