Description

Under the Hammer: A Study of Edward I and Scotland The wars between England and Scotland have long fascinated historians and the general public alike. While many novels, films, and artworks have explored this period from a Scottish perspective, few have examined it in depth from an English viewpoint. This book offers a fresh look at the events that shaped the relationship between the two nations during the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. Edward I's attempts to subjugate Scotland were marked by significant military might, yet victory was far from certain. The Scottish leaders proved adept at creating a strong front against their more powerful adversary, ultimately repelling the English invasion. This book provides a detailed account of this pivotal period in both nations' histories, shedding new light on the complex and often fraught relationship between England and Scotland. With its rich description and analysis, Under the Hammer offers a nuanced understanding of the events that defined this critical era in Scottish history.
