A video about the Battle of Falkirk of 1298, in which an English force under Edward I learned from the mistakes of the Battle of Stirling Bridge and defeated a Scottish force led by William Wallace.
Had the English learned how to overpower the pike schiltron? Or was it just that the English outnumbered the Scots?

This video includes the first of my (badly) drawn MS Paint maps and my first attempt at (badly) animating a battle. Bear with it! The maps do get better in later battles!

Developed for the Edexcel GCSE History specification Warfare and British Society c.1250 to Present.
