Comment on William Wallace didn’t look like that

Wallace’s most famous battle is arguably the Battle of Stirling Bridge. A smaller force of 5-6,000 infantry and 300 cavalry defeated 7,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry!

As the name suggests, it’s key component was the bridge at Stirling. It was a bottleneck which Wallace used to his advantage to defeat the larger force.

This battle was portrayed in Braveheart, with one teensy tiny bit of “artistic liberty”. They forgot the bloody bridge!

They did however get the historically accurate mediaeval car in shot though
