What would have happened if the Scottish Nobles had helped William Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk? Please mention the short-term effects, such the battle and after the battle, and long-term effects, like Robert the Bruce becoming king
I'm pretty sure that Wallace was a Balliol supporter. But then again, that might not much him anyway.What would have happened if the Scottish Nobles had helped William Wallace at the Battle of Falkirk?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....Braveheart at face value for historical accuracy.
Still, losing your nerve when you are MASSIVELY outnumbered and fleeing the field before you can be butchered and maliciously conspiring with your enemies to quash this "upstart wallace" are not the same thing.
Meh. I figure if they had no intention of fighting they wouldn't have taken the field in the first place.
Really I see this a lot, people taking Braveheart at face value for historical accuracy. Not terribly bright of them to do so...
That's Herodotus....3. The Persians literally assaulted Greece with a million men.
Other fun things people think happened thanks to Hollywood.
1. There was a guy called Maximus who killed Emperor Commodus.
2. The Roman Senators were champions of the people and democracy.
3. The Persians literally assaulted Greece with a million men.
4. The British army had a policy of burning people alive in churches.
5. The Samurai were nothing but noble warriors who were defending Japan's ancient heritage rather than their own wealth.
6. Japanese soldiers in WWII were mindless drones subserviant to the Emperor's Hive Mind.
7. Scots do, have and always will wear kilts.
8. Cortez fought the Mayans for some reason.
Actually Mel Gibson is responsible for most of these...

Laugh if you will, but I have encountered several people who buy what mel gibson and hollywood were pedalling when they advertised braveheart as historically accurate. It pisses me off and I've taken to calling people on it.
