Sensational victory for Robert the Bruce and Scotland which effectively ended the First War of Scottish Independence. The battle features most prominent use of the schiltrom formation by the Scottish pikemen, the English knights fail to make an impression on the pikes without archers' support. With Edward II fleeing the battle turned into a rout, with devastating result for the English army.
Thus it was once more proved that horses are often smarter than their riders, as any horseman with any brains should know that a horse just won't commit suicide by impaling itself on a pike!
