CE 1297 - William Wallace leads the Scotts in their defeat of the English

In 1297, William Wallace led the Scottish forces in a decisive victory against the English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge.

This marked the beginning of the First War of Scottish Independence and signaled the start of a period of Scottish resistance against English rule.

Wallace and the Scottish forces used a combination of guerrilla tactics and military strategy to defeat a much larger English army.

The English army was led by John de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham, an English treasurer.

The English forces were so overwhelmed by the Scots that they were unable to regroup and were forced to retreat.

Wallace's victory at Stirling Bridge was a key point in the Scottish War of Independence and a symbol of Scottish resistance to English rule.

Wallace was later captured and executed by the English in 1305, but his legacy of Scottish resistance and courage lives on.
