Certainly that battle scene (with the long spikes against the heavy horse) looks a lot like the Battle of Agincourt.

The signature weapon of the Battle of Agincourt was the longbow. It is frequently argued that the Battle of Agincourt was one of those watershed events that forever change the face of warfare.

Agincourt was Henry V against the French October 25, 1415. Mel Gibson was playing William Wallace leading the Scots against the English. Wallace lost at Falkirk against Edward I in 1298. Edward I ("Longshanks") was the great-great-great-grandfather of Henry V.
