Robert the Bruce had himself crowned King of Scots at Scone on a frozen March morning in 1306. After years of struggle, Scotland had been reduced to a vassal state by Edward I of England and its people lived in poverty. On the day he seized the crown Bruce renewed the fight for Scotland’s freedom, and let forth a battle cry that would echo through the centuries.
Using contemporary accounts, Ronald Mc Nair Scott tells the story of Scotland’s legendary leader, and one of Europe’s most remarkable medieval kings. It is a story with episodes as romantic as those of King Arthur, but also one which belongs in the annals of Scottish History, and has shaped a nation.
