THE HOT MEDIEVAL & FANTASY MEN MELEE
FIRST ROUND: 49th Tilt
James Douglas, Outlaw King (2018) VS. Philip II, The Lion in Winter (1968)
Propaganda
James Douglas, Outlaw King (2018) Portrayed by: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Defeated Opponents: - King Richard IV [Brian Blessed], The Black Adder (1982)
*Cracks knuckles* *Rolls shoulders* *SCREAMS LIKE A MANIAC* just getting into the spirit of the character. "Mair fell than wes ony devill in hell." That is how poet John Barbour described James, “The Blak Dowglas” as he came to be known to the English. And Aaron Taylor-Johnson matched that energy 200% in this movie. This man is BAT CRAP LOONY TUNES. He’s feral. Berserkers wish they were as berserk as this crazy Scotsman. I personally find using a mail coif as a weapon to be very sexy. He’ll try to seduce your daughter and when you threaten to cut his balls of, he’ll kiss you full on the mouth and then go and flirt with your OTHER daughter. He just wants his family’s lands back, and by God he will get them, and he will be screaming DOUGLAS!!!!!!! all the way home. (Cont. below the cut)
Philip II, The Lion in Winter (1968) Portrayed by: Timothy Dalton Defeated Opponents: - “Man with Snake” [Barry John Clarke], Edward II (1991)
“I will forever and always have a crush on Timothy Dalton on this movie. Philip is definitely a side character in it, for sure, but it's still a great performance (especially considering it was Dalton's film debut!) and he's also so cute.”
Additional Propaganda Under the Cut

For James Douglas:
"I submit also these choice quotes from this Pajiba article, because Roxana Hadidi put it better than I can. [“In Appreciation of Aaron Taylor Johnson Going Full Beastmode in Outlaw King”]:
… it’s Taylor-Johnson’s feral qualities that add verve to these action scenes; he’s the character the film relies on to clue us into the English’s cruelty. While the rest of the Scottish camp is eating and socializing, he’s practicing sword moves in the woods, preparing himself for whatever threat is coming their way. While Pine has to be the believable kingly figure, Taylor-Johnson is over here attacking dudes with their own chainmail and slitting throats in church on Palm Sunday (it’s so bloody and over the top and great). He takes back his family castle, throws the invading English soldiers down a well, and then invites the castle staff to eat the feast they had been forced to prepare for the invaders—and then he encourages them all to join him in supporting Robert the Bruce before burning his own castle down so the English can’t come back and claim it. […] [He] is the live wire the movie needs, not only to demonstrate how [Robert] sets himself apart while performing his royal role but also because the action scenes are so essential to telling this story effectively, to demonstrating the brutality and the bloodiness of this time.’
For King Philip II:
“I confess that I haven't actually watched The Lion in Winter, but I don't have to recognize that young Timmy Dalton is a total babe in it. Those eyes! That jawline! Real royals *wish* they were this hot.”

August 4th 1327 saw The Battle of Stanhope Park.
Another of those little known battles, this was during The First War of Scottish Independence, it is sometimes described as part of The Weardale raids or campaign.
The Battle took place during the night of 3–4 August 1327. The Scots under James Douglas led a raid into Weardale, and Roger Mortimer, accompanied by the newly crowned Edward III on his first campaign, led an army to drive them back. Douglas led, among other ambushes, an attack into the English camp, with 500 cavalry, and almost captured the king. The Scots had taken up a strong defensive position by the River Wear. The position was too strong for the English to attack but they attempted to get the Scots to fight by drawing up their army on level ground and inviting the Scots to fight and by skirmishing with men-at-arms and archers. Douglas sent them the message that they would stay where they were as long as they liked. This stand-off lasted for three days. On the night of 2–3 August, the Scots decamped overnight moving a short way to a better position within Stanhope Park proper. The English shifted camp to be nearer the Scots. Douglas led a night attack on the English camp. he and his men reached Edward III's tent which was collapsed with him inside and nearly captured the English king. Several hundred English were killed. They were forced to keep constant improved watch after this. On the night of 6–7 August, the Scottish army quietly broke camp and headed back toward Scotland.
The English didn't pursue, Legend has it, so their children could sleep easy that night their mothers whispered in their ears……
‘Hush ye, hush ye, little pet ye, Hush ye, hush ye, do not fret ye The Black Douglas shall not get ye’
Soon after Weardale the English recognized Scottish independence in the Treaty of Northampton and The First War of Scottish Independence was at an end.

Plaque en hommage à : Archibald et James Douglas
Type : Lieu d'inhumation
Adresse : Cathédrale Sainte-Croix, place Sainte-Croix, 45000 Orléans, France
Date de pose : Inconnue
Texte : Ici ont été déposés le dix avril 1938 les restes de plusieurs défunts anonymes découverts sous les dalles du sanctuaire. En ce lieu avaient été inhumés les deux William Douglas, seigneurs écossais tombés à Verneuil en 1424 pour la défense de la France contre les Anglais. In pace
Quelques précisions : En dépit du nom indiqué sur cette plaque commémorative, il est probable que cette dernière fait référence à Archibald Douglas (1369-1424), un noble écossais, huitième comte de Douglas, et son fils James. Archibald combattit les Anglais à plusieurs reprises, ce qui lui valut plusieurs peines d'emprisonnement. Pendant la Guerre de Cent Ans, il se rend en France en 1421 et remporte une victoire contre les Anglais lors de la bataille de Baugé. Toutefois, trois ans plus tard, les troupes d'Archibald sont vaincues lors de la bataille de Verneuil, durant laquelle Archibald et son fils James sont tués.

Swords of Scottish Heroes exhibited at the Laying of the Foundation-Stone of the Wallace Monument at Stirling
From "Illustrated London News", 1861:
1. ...the sword of Sir William Wallace...This interesting relic of ancient times has been retained in Dumbarton Castle since Wallace was sent to London to be executed...It is a two-handed weapon, measuring from point to point five feet seven inches..
2. The sword of King Robert Bruce...is an instrument which seems to have seen much service. It is also a two-handed weapon, and measures somewhere about five feet two or three inches.
3. This is the single-handed, double-edged sword of Wallace's copatriot and sincere friend, Sir John de Graeme...It is scarcely three feet and a half in length, but undoubtedly did many deeds of valour. Towards the hilt, and amongst the ornamentation of the blade, are inscribed the year 1406, with the initials S. F. G. Graeme was killed at the battle of Falkirk..
4. The sword of the Laird of Lundin...is supposed to have been used at the battle of Stirling...
5. The sword of the "Black Douglas" is a most formidable weapon...Its length is about five feet seven or eight inches...the chief peculiarity is...the notched, sawlike blade, which only terminates a few inches from the point'.
