Action at Earnside
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Action_at_Earnside an entity of type: WikicatBattlesOfTheWarsOfScottishIndependence
The action at Earnside was a skirmish which took place in the Wars of Scottish Independence in September 1304. Not much is known about it, but it is significant as the last action known to be fought by William Wallace. Even its location is uncertain. Contemporary records describe it as taking place at "Yrenside". This is usually interpreted to mean "Earnside", i.e. somewhere on the banks of the River Earn. However it has been suggested that it should be interpreted as "Ironside", which could possibly mean Ironside Hill in the Sidlaw Hills.

La bataille d'Earnside fut livrée lors de la Première Guerre d'indépendance écossaise en septembre 1304. On a peu de détails sur cette bataille mais il s'agit de la dernière à laquelle participe William Wallace avant sa capture et son exécution par les Anglais en août 1305. Selon les chroniques anglaises, la bataille aurait été perdue par Wallace, qui se serait enfui, car le connétable de Dundee l'aurait pourchassé.

The action at Earnside was a skirmish which took place in the Wars of Scottish Independence in September 1304. Not much is known about it, but it is significant as the last action known to be fought by William Wallace. Even its location is uncertain. Contemporary records describe it as taking place at "Yrenside". This is usually interpreted to mean "Earnside", i.e. somewhere on the banks of the River Earn. However it has been suggested that it should be interpreted as "Ironside", which could possibly mean Ironside Hill in the Sidlaw Hills. There is mention in English records of compensation being paid for a horse lost in a flight from William Wallace below "Yrenside". There is also mention of the Constable of Dundee pursuing Wallace. To complicate matters further, there is a plaque at NO 26298 19407 in Fife, about 2½ miles (4 km) NE of Newburgh in a lay-by on the unclassified road to Gauldry, which claims that on 12 June 1298 Wallace defeated the Earl of Pembroke here at a site apparently called "Black Earnside". However it is not clear that this has any basis in contemporary records, and raises some problems, among them that Wallace was at the Battle of Falkirk the following month, and the Earldom of Pembroke was vacant at that time. The name "Black Earnside" is not mentioned on the Ordnance Survey maps of the area and the site is not in any case in Earnside, the River Earn having flowed into the River Tay some 4½ miles (7 km) upstream of the site. The National Record of the Historic Environment (Canmore) states "There is no good historical evidence for this battle".

On a peu de détails sur cette bataille mais il s'agit de la dernière à laquelle participe William Wallace avant sa capture et son exécution par les Anglais en août 1305. Les rapports contemporains nomment le lieu de la bataille « Yrenside », ce qui est traduit de nos jours sous le nom d'« Earnside », ce qui tend à affirmer qu'elle a eu lieu le long de la rivière Earn, dans le Strathearn. Cependant on pourrait également traduire par « Ironside », ce qui tendrait à assimiler le lieu de la bataille à la colline d'Iron, dans les Sidlaw Hills. Selon les chroniques anglaises, la bataille aurait été perdue par Wallace, qui se serait enfui, car le connétable de Dundee l'aurait pourchassé. Cependant, une plaque située près de Newburgh dans le Fife affirme qu'une bataille de Yrenside aurait eu lieu entre Wallace et le comte de Pembroke le 12 juin 1298. Cette hypothèse est néanmoins peu probable car Wallace se trouvait près de Falkirk afin de surprendre l'armée anglaise et le titre de comte de Pembroke était à ce moment-là vacant.

Placca commemorativa del Black Earnside presso Newburgh, Fife, 27 luglio 2013 Il luogo esatto in cui si svolse l'azione è ad oggi incerto: le cronache contemporanee descrivono il luogo col nome di "Yrenside", tradotto in inglese contemporaneo come "Earnside" che potrebbe indicare per l'appunto un insediamento o un punto sulle rive del fiume . Ad ogni modo altri storici hanno tradotto il nome come "Ironside" il che potrebbe fare riferimento ad Ironside Hill, effettivamente esistente nelle . Nelle cronace si ricorda anche che William Wallace fosse a capo dell'esercito scozzese impegnato nello scontro e che questi fosse inseguito dal conestabile di Dundee. Quel che si sa dello scontro è che esso fu probabilmente di bassa portata, coinvolse pochi uomini e fu probabilmente dettato dalla necessità per Wallace di bloccare i nemici che lo seguivano, battendoli e costringendoli alla fuga.
