** Also during the battle at Falkirk, Wallace's troops shoot flaming arrows to set the field below the enemy on fire, having laid pitch there the night before. Which begs the question of ''how'' Wallace knew the English soldiers would form up on those spots and not notice the lines of pitch (or if they did, why they'd choose to stand on them).
