History of the battles of Stirling Bridge & Falkirk 1297-98, between William Wallace with his army and the English army, well documented in the book by Pete Armstrong. Published by Osprey Books, available from the military print company.

The death of the last of the Scottish royal house of Canmore in 1290 triggered a succession crisis.  Attempts to undermine Scottish independence by King Edward I of England sparked open rebellion culminating in the English defeat at the hands of William Wallace at Stirling Bridge in 1297.  Edward gathered an army, marched north and at Falkirk on 22 July 1298 he brought Wallace's army to battle.  Amid accusations of treachery, Wallace's spearmen were slaughtered by Edward's long bowmen, then charged by the English cavalry and almost annihilated.  In 1305 Wallace was captured and executed, but the flame of rebellion he had ignited could not be extinguished.
