Anyone watch the History Channel tonight?

The show was "Warriors" and the narrator (forget his name) was in Scotland, learning how they fought, the weapons used, forging techniques and how Sir William Wallace defeated the Brits at Stirling Bridge and some of the tactics he used.

It was a fantastic show, if it replays you should see it.

It aired at 2200 hours EST in the US in case you;d like to order it on discovery.com or look for it later...

As part of a Renaissance re-enactment guild I am always looking for stuff like that. I will probably order a copy. Thanks for the info.

I watched it on Saturday morning.

It was fantastic, they had these medieval looking scots and this one guy was really impressive. A beard about 18" long, the amazing scot accent and growling and attacking the host that can barely keep up as he was backtracking at this guy lunging at him with a battle axe.

It was about the 'tech' and the people that made the Battle of Stirling bridge the success it was.

HISTORY CHANNEL
Fri, Aug 8, 9:00p - 10:00p
Green Beret Terry Schappert goes to Scotland to research the 1297 Battle of Stirling Bridge, where William "Braveheart" Wallace and his ragtag forces took on Edward I's 13,000-strong English army.

Quite good. I especially found his approach in telling the story of the battle very interesting. I enjoyed most his information on the Scottish weaponery and the Scot who wielded it. David Ross, Scottish historian who makes the rounds in the US at many Scottish Festivals/Games had a part in explaining Wallace's tactics.
