Pete Armstrong's illustrated account of the Battle of Bannockburn, a
pivotal campaign in the First War of Scottish Independence.
Bannockburn was the climax of the career of King Robert the Bruce. In
1307 King Edward I of England, 'The Hammer of the Scots' and nemesis
of William Wallace, died and his son, Edward II, was not from the same
mould. Idle and apathetic, he allowed the Scots the chance to recover
from the grievous punishment inflicted upon them. By 1314 Bruce had
captured every major English-held castle bar Stirling and Edward II
took an army north to subdue the Scots. Pete Armstrong's account of
this battle culminates at the decisive battle of Bannockburn that
finally won Scotland her independence.
