Scottish Wars of Independence
Why did the
Scots lose at
Falkirk?
In today’s class, I am learning to:
• Explain why the Scots lost the Battle
of Falkirk
The Battle of Falkirk
Although William Wallace led the Scots to victory at
Stirling Bridge, his army was completely overwhelmed
by King Edward’s army at the Battle of Falkirk.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
There were various
reasons for the Scots’
defeat at Falkirk, including:
• Scottish cavalry actions
• Scottish leadership
• English military strength
• English leadership
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
Early in the battle, English
knights charged at the
Scottish cavalry.
The Scottish cavalry left
the battle after this attack
(some people even say
they were bribed to do so).
Scotland’s remaining army
was then defenceless.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
Victory at Stirling Bridge
was achieved with William
Wallace and Andrew de
Moray as leaders.
Many people believe that
Moray was actually the
more effective military
leader. However Moray
died after Stirling Bridge so
was not at Falkirk.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
Wallace’s Falkirk decisions
have been criticised.
Some people say that the
Scots should not have
taken part in the battle.
They were not organised
to fight, and had not
trained at the battlefield,
unlike at Stirling Bridge.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
Others have suggested that
the schiltrons were not an
effective tactic at Falkirk.
The muddy, marshy
ground in front of the
schiltrons made it difficult
for them to move or attack
the English. However it left
them open to archer attack
by England.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
The English army was
much bigger than
Scotland’s, with around
14,000 soldiers, compared
to Scotland’s 7000. England
also had more longbows
and knights on horseback.
All of this made it much
easier for the English army
to fight and win.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
The English army was not
just bigger than Scotland’s,
it was also more organised.
Many of the English army
were professional soldiers,
receiving daily wages for
their work. Some Scots on
the other hand were
farmers forced being to
fight by their landowners.
Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
Unlike at Stirling Bridge,
England had a very strong
military leadership.
Not only were many of
England’s most
experienced army
commanders at the battle,
they were led by King
Edward, himself a very
skilful soldier.

Scottish Wars of Independence - reasons scots lost at falkirk

  • 1. Scottish Wars of Independence Why did the Scots lose at Falkirk?
  • 2. In today’s class, I am learning to: • Explain why the Scots lost the Battle of Falkirk The Battle of Falkirk
  • 3. Although William Wallace led the Scots to victory at Stirling Bridge, his army was completely overwhelmed by King Edward’s army at the Battle of Falkirk. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 4. There were various reasons for the Scots’ defeat at Falkirk, including: • Scottish cavalry actions • Scottish leadership • English military strength • English leadership Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 5. Early in the battle, English knights charged at the Scottish cavalry. The Scottish cavalry left the battle after this attack (some people even say they were bribed to do so). Scotland’s remaining army was then defenceless. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 6. Victory at Stirling Bridge was achieved with William Wallace and Andrew de Moray as leaders. Many people believe that Moray was actually the more effective military leader. However Moray died after Stirling Bridge so was not at Falkirk. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 7. Wallace’s Falkirk decisions have been criticised. Some people say that the Scots should not have taken part in the battle. They were not organised to fight, and had not trained at the battlefield, unlike at Stirling Bridge. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 8. Others have suggested that the schiltrons were not an effective tactic at Falkirk. The muddy, marshy ground in front of the schiltrons made it difficult for them to move or attack the English. However it left them open to archer attack by England. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 9. The English army was much bigger than Scotland’s, with around 14,000 soldiers, compared to Scotland’s 7000. England also had more longbows and knights on horseback. All of this made it much easier for the English army to fight and win. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 10. The English army was not just bigger than Scotland’s, it was also more organised. Many of the English army were professional soldiers, receiving daily wages for their work. Some Scots on the other hand were farmers forced being to fight by their landowners. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
  • 11. Unlike at Stirling Bridge, England had a very strong military leadership. Not only were many of England’s most experienced army commanders at the battle, they were led by King Edward, himself a very skilful soldier. Why the Scots lost at Falkirk
