    Damn, this war doesn't look nearly as easy for the Scots as Age of Empires 2 implied. 😔

    I am from Falkirk and this is pretty much exactly how we learn this in school Well done was such a quality video Also well done for actually pronouncing falkirk correctly
  • Fun Fact: When the movie Braveheart was being shot the Irish n Scottish Extra's refused to fight each other which prompted a script change and that's how we saw the Irish in the movie defect to Wallace and the Scots. Well in the movie anyway. At the real battle both sides fought rather bitterly. How ironic.
  • Damn… u guys are just pumping out these Scottish war of independence videos, I ain’t complaining
  • @benedictjajo
    William Wallace: Noob box formation!!!! Edward: Alright, spam projectiles. Carrhae all over again.

    The campaign wasn’t entirely finished after Falkirk. The earls Marshall and Hereford went home with their troops meaning Edward could not make too many more gains but after taking Stirling, he preceded to capture a lot of Bruce’s territory such as Dumfries and Lochmaben before finishing the campaign by capturing the border castle of Jedburgh.

    seriously , your channel is History encyclopedia ❤
  • This campaign seems very much characteristic of the entire saga of the wars of independence. Scotland is impossible for England to occupy effectively, but the Plantagenets were too strong for Scotland to avoid paying homage to. Fantastic video.
  • I would just like to point out a few things about Established Titles. 1) It is based in HK not Scotland. 2) it is a scam. 3) Lairds are not the same as Lords. 4) These titles are classed as novelty gifts and have ZERO legal status. 5) if you want to pay towards a tree being planted there are a number of legitimate charities.
  • Edward I, following on from the defeat at Stirling a year before gives Wallace a masterclass in how to destroy an enemy army piecemeal and by making use of all the resources and assets at ones disposal to inflict massive damage and slaughter upon ones enemy. Although Wallace would escape and continue the fight, defeat at Falkirk was the beginning of the end for him as he was eventually ran to ground and captured and killed and whole of Scotland submitted, before a new champion emerged in Bruce to save Scotland.

    Love these videos, can't wait for more of these series on different war's, once again, keep it up
  • @ciscof4041
    Awesome! Always interested in the Scottish Wars of Independence, thank you for illustrating the battles :)
  • @DrKarmo
    I love this! Will you guys remake the Battle of Bannockburn as well? The old video is great but your current style is far more appealing.
  • I searched for this video earlier today. Well done on getting it up so quickly!
  • Having grown up and lived in Falkirk my whole life the only thing I query is Wallace's quote on the eve of battle. I was always lead to believe it was "I've brought ye to the ring, now dance the best ye can" I'm not sure if there's a source or not?
