Interesting arithmetics in the article on Falkirk:
"As Edward's Welsh archers got into position to fire, somthing crucial
happened on the side of Wallace. John Comwyn, a noble who brought the
Scottish cavalry, withdrew from the field with his forces, thus leaving
the Welsh free to fire their rain of arrows. By now, Wallace had only
4,000 - 5,000 soldiers ..."
" It is estimated that the Scottish army lost between 6,500 - 8,000 men
that day. "
Out of 4-5K? Perhaps some of the Scots had been killed 2-3 times? :-)
