Battle of Stirling Bridge: Wallace and Moray Crush the English
William Wallace and Andrew Moray exploited a narrow bridge crossing to annihilate a larger English force, drowning and slaughtering thousands of soldiers as they funneled across the River Forth. The decisive victory shattered the myth of English military invincibility in Scotland and transformed Wallace into the symbol of Scottish resistance for generations.
