I mean it could have just been simple hyberbole. Or just the fact that the written dialogue wasn't great (wasn't bad either)

He comes from a family that have participated in the crusades. That tells us that people around him was open to a lot of information that could be gathered around Constantinople and Jerusalem. That's already a vast access to at worst hearsay knowledge on what many other kingdoms were capable of.

Not a bad movie, but Chris Pine's acting was not good enough. He didnt seem like a hero at all. The Black Douglass seems more like a true hero character in this movie. Bruce lacked i dunno, charisma, character, something along those lines.

His knowledge would likely have included Edward’s own exploits on the 9th crusade, which would have surely enhanced the Bruce’s opinion of the English military.

Ah, I see the Metatron has spread his wings once more.

Great video! Well, it was great for me at least. I also love being pedantic and talking about historical accuracy, although I do realize such soapbox lecturing about a TV show usually puts many people to sleep.
