what brave-hearted scottish patriot led soldiers to a defeat of the english at the battle of cambuskenneth in?

Question

1297

Answer 1

William Wallace. The Battle of Stirling Bridge.

Edit: To Jock, below: I stand by my statement. Evidence this quote from an article about the Wallace Monument:
"It stands on the Abbey Craig, a volcanic crag above Cambuskenneth Abbey, from which Wallace was said to have watched the gathering of the army of English king Edward I, just before the Battle of Stirling Bridge."

Answer 2

First, William Wallace was not a national patriot. Like many of his type at that time in history, he was a clan chief.
After defeating an English force (sent by king Edward 1 of England to add Scotland to his possesion) commanded by the Earl of Surrey at Cambuskenneth/Stirling Bridge, Wallace offered battle at Falkirk in summer 1298 AD. His defensive formations of spear-armed infantry 'schiltrons' were shot to pieces by English archers then crushed by Edward's cavalry. Wallace then ran away and took a ship to France, but was later caught and hanged.

Answer 3

Cambuskenneth is no way near the Battle of Stirling Bridge (LOL), though it's in Stirling district. I would guess it would have to be Wallace & De Moray though. Wallace was in command of the southern Scottish arrmy & De Moray in charge of the northern one. They joined forces at Stirling Bridge, however De Moray was mortally wounded & later died from his wounds, otherwise he might have got the same fame as Wallace or Bruce.

Answer 4

Ay, we've got some great ball-handling here on the Scottish side, effective use of polearms, ay what's that, it appears the English have transported a catapault onto the pitch, watch out left flankers!

Scotland called time out!

But.. no one cares, they keep on playing.

Scotland makes a shot on goal, the defender bounces, and suffers a mortal wound to the head. The ball is deflected.

Answer 5

It was a co-command by Andrew de Moray and William Wallace. Moray was mortally wounded in the battle.

Answer 6

William Wallace. :-)
