    Yeah it was a joint command. But given the fact that Wallace had ran off to join de Moray with his tail between his legs, that de Moray was an important nobleman and so commanded the respect of the higher class, and that not only had he been more successful from the start but also took more castles than Wallace in that immediate campaign, it's not hard to imagine the command being joint in name while most of the actual command power was in de Moray's hands.

    And "the men being arranged in great order" does not equal a schiltron. Neither does groups of pike wielding men.

    And I didn't say Wallace didn't train his men, I said he didn't train them IN MOBILITY. And really all sources of Falkirk says Wallace's schiltrons standing still, so I don't really need any other sources.
