#first war of scottish independence

22 July 1298

The Battle of Falkirk, a major battle in the First War of Scottish Independence, took place on this day in British history, 22 July 1298. King Edward I led the British army against William Wallace and the Scots. Although the Scots had defeated the English on several previous occasions, the English held a large numerical superiority at Falkirk and easily defeated the Scots. Shortly after the battle William Wallace resigned as Guardian of Scotland.

I ended up watching Outlaw King (2018) instead of Jane Eyre this weekend. I don’t know if this movie is A Mood, but the Scotland locations and the art and costume are beautiful.

Also, that’s A LOT of violence, so if you don’t have a strong stomach, I recommend not to watch.
