Description
The full story surrounding the battle that represented the climax of the career of King Robert the Bruce, and has since remained the most famous battle in Scottish history - the Battle of Bannockburn.
In 1307 King Edward I of England, "The Hammer of the Scots" and William Wallace's nemesis, died at Burgh-on-Sands.
His son, Edward II, was not from the same mould; incorrigibly idle and apathetic, he refused to take on the burdens of kingship, surrounding himself with favourites.
The Scots under Robert the Bruce now had a chance to recover from the grievous punishment Edward I had inflicted upon them.
By 1313 Bruce had capture every English-held castle bar Stirling.
Faced with the complete collapse of the English position in Scotland even Edward II had no choice but to respond.
