On the eve of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, Wallace told the English, " We are not here to make peace, but to do battle and to liberate our kingdom." The Scots gathered on the Abbey Craig Bridge. Below, a narrow wooden bridge led to the castle and to the English. Wallace allowed about half of them to cross the fragile structure, enough for his forces to deal with. And so they did, rushing down from their perch, through the woods, and into the English ranks. Wallace, on foot, with a great sharp sword, goes amongst the very thickest of his foes. The Scots vanquished the savage English, whom they put into mourning for death. Some had their throats cut by swords, others were taken prisoners, others drowned. |
