Description
The Battle of Bannockburn: A pivotal moment in Scottish history. In 1314, Scotland's King Robert faced off against England's Edward II in one of the most influential battles of the medieval period. This book offers an in-depth study of the immediate context leading up to the battle, including the preparations made by both sides and their reactions to the outcome. The author examines the state of affairs in Scotland in 1313 and how this influenced Edward II's decision to invade, as well as the possibility that King Robert was unwell during this period. Detailed consideration is given to the siege of Stirling and the deal made between the Scots and the Stirling garrison, highlighting its impact on both armies and setting them on a path towards direct confrontation at Bannockburn.
