re: Fighting an open field battle with only melee weapons, like Braveheart

Brave and stupid. There were better ways of fighting wars in that age, that just didn't think outside the box.
...of course I say that with 20/20 hindsight vision, but it's mindboggling that someone said, after witnessing one battle fought in that manner, "Hey lets fight another battle like that."

Battles like that (at least similar style, open confrontation) were still being fought far later in history than medieval times.

I don't understand how they did it. And don't say they were men back then. People get tired. A 3 minutes fist fight is exhausting. A 20 minutes fist fight is probably impossible. Running around, holding a 100 pound shield, swinging a 70+ point sword...? What? How can anyone do that for even an hour?
