The Battle of Bannockburn took place in 1314, over two days, June 23-24. King of Scots, Robert the Bruce led his army against King Edward II of England, winning a great victory during the First War of Scottish Independence.
King Edward II invaded Scotland with a force of 25,000 men, the largest army to ever invade Scotland, and marched on Stirling Castle, a Scottish royal fortress occupied by the English, which was under siege by a Scottish army. However, before Edward could relieve the fortress, their path was blocked by the army of Robert the Bruce, who, despite being outnumbered, provoked the English to do battle.
Robert trained his men to use schiltron tactics, using tight, compact formations of troops forming a wall of spears, or phalanx. These tactics used by the Scottish pike formations proved very effective against the English cavalry, resulting in the Scottish winning a heroic victory over the English, destroying the English army, capturing several English nobles and forcing the English king to flee.
The Battle of Bannockburn is one of the most celebrated, and pivotal moments in Scottish history.
