Edward III would later use the same defensive setup to confound the mounted chivalry of France at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers. This was Edward III's first battle and the only one that he fought in England. At Halidon Hill he witnessed the strength of the defensive combination of archers and dismounted men-at-arms already used to great effect by Edward Balliol the previous year at the Battle of Dupplin Moor in Scotland. 🚩 If you like what you see, consider supporting my work on Patreon and you get ad-free early access to my videos for as little as $1   / historymarche   -- You can also show your support by subscribing to the channel and liking the video.
