The Battle of Stirling Bridge (1297)
The Battle of Stirling Bridge was a pivotal event during the First War of Scottish Independence. Led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray, a relatively small Scottish force engaged the mighty English army under the command of John de Warenne.
The Scots' strategic brilliance lay in their use of the narrow bridge across the River Forth. They lured the English into crossing, causing them to become tightly packed and vulnerable. The Scots then launched a fierce attack, securing a remarkable victory.
The Battle of Stirling Bridge instilled hope and galvanized Scottish resistance against English oppression. It showcased the significance of effective military strategy and inspired Scots to continue their quest for independence.

William Wallace’s Heroic 1297 Stirling Bridge Battle | Medieval Total War Cinematic
In 1296, John de Warenne, the 6th Earl of Surrey, emerged victorious over John Comyn, the Earl of Buchan, in the Battle of Dunbar. Subsequently, King John Balliol surrendered to King Edward I of England at Brechin on July 10th, leading to Scottish landholders acknowledging Edward's authority. The year 1297 saw Moray sparking a rebellion in northern Scotland, swiftly gaining control over Urquhart, Inverness, Elgin, Banff, and Aberdeen by late summer. In September, Wallace joined forces with Moray near Dundee, and together they advanced towards Stirling, a pivotal location described by Stuart Reid as "the key to Scotland." Meanwhile, Surrey and Cressingham had united in July and reached Stirling by September 9th, finding Moray and Wallace already established at Abbey Craig.

蘇格蘭-史特林橋(Stirling Bridge)-史特林城堡(Stirling Castle) #威廉華勒斯紀念碑 #英雄本色
史特林城堡(Stirling Castle)位於聳立的岩崖頂上,自古便是蘇格蘭的重要堡壘,幾世紀來主宰著蘇格蘭的歷史。傳說六世紀時亞瑟王從薩克遜人手中奪得原來的城堡,但目前的建築是十五世紀時的斯圖亞特王朝(Stuarts)所建。十六世紀時,為保護出生六個月就登基的瑪麗女王不受英王亨利八世的攻擊,特別加強了防禦工事,而瑪麗女王的童年就是在此度過。 1995年梅爾吉伯遜自導自演的電影「英雄本色」(Brave heart),歷史場景就在史特林(Stirling) 。這部電影根據十三世紀末的歷史事蹟改編而成,描述威廉.華勒斯(William Wallace)帶領民兵對抗英軍悲慘壯烈的故事。
史特林橋之役(Battle of Stirling Bridge)是第一次蘇格蘭獨立戰爭中的一場戰役。1297年9月11日,在蘇格蘭史特林近郊、橫跨福斯河的史特林橋上,安德魯·莫瑞(Andrew Moray )與威廉.華勒斯的軍隊擊敗了約翰·德·瓦朗,第六代薩里伯爵(John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey)與休·德·克萊辛翰(Hugh de Cressingham)所率的英格蘭、威爾斯、蘇格蘭聯軍。

Battle of Stirling Bridge
The Battle of Stirling Bridge was a battle of the First War of Scottish Independence. On 11 September 1297, the forces of Andrew Moray and William Wallace defeated the combined English forces of John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey, and Hugh de Cressingham near Stirling, on the River Forth.
The Earl of Surrey had won a victory over the aristocracy of Scotland at the Battle of Dunbar. However, by August 1297 Moray and Wallace controlled almost all of Scotland north of the Forth, except for Dundee. Surrey marched north with an army from Wicker to relieve Dundee. The town of Stirling was the key entry point to the north of Scotland.
The 6th Earl of Surrey arrived with his supporters at the narrow, wooden bridge over the River Forth near Stirling Castle and determined that he would be at a tactical disadvantage if he attempted to take his main force across there. So he delayed crossing for several days to allow for negotiations, and to reconnoiter the area. On 10 September Warenne gave orders to cross the river the next day. At dawn the English and Welsh infantry started to cross only to be recalled because Warenne had overslept.
The Scots arrived first and camped on Abbey Craig, which dominated the soft flat ground north of the river. The English force of English, Welsh and Scots knights, bowmen and foot soldiers camped south of the river. Sir Richard Lundie, a Scots knight who joined the English after the Capitulation of Irvine, offered to outflank the enemy by leading a cavalry force over a ford two miles upstream, where sixty horsemen could cross at the same time. Hugh de Cressingham, King Edward's treasurer in Scotland, p...
