While these men were joint commanders of the Scottish army in the defeat of the English in 1297 at Stirling, with some even alleging de Moray was the senior partner who devised the successful tactical plan that delivered victory, his role has been largely sidelined and he did not even merit a mention in Mel Gibson's Oscar-winning film, Braveheart.

Hopefully this great Scottish patriot will now be getting the long awaited recognition he rightly deserves.
