Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Robert Bruce was Scotland's greatest king ever. The Bruce, as he was known, was crowned King of Scots in 1306, a time when the ancient kingdom of Scotland was under English occupation. When Bruce began his reign, his first battle was a calamitous loss. Yet steadily between 1307-1313 King Robert won battle after battle, shunning pitched medieval clashes, and fighting as a guerrilla force, a form of warfare which he, perhaps, invented, The war peaked in 1314 when King Robert faced a formidable English invasion. With brilliant tactics and resolute bravery the vastly outnumbered Scots defeated and routed the English knights, archers, and yeomen at the great and historical battle of Bannockburn. And that's only the first half of this epic tale of King Robert's long and event-filled life. The Great Scott is a novel filled with valour, treachery, journeys great and small, and people of every rank and station-all from the pages of Scottish history.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Robert the Bruce had himself crowned King of Scots at Scone on a frozen March morning in 1306.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The life of Robert Bruce is one of the greatest comeback stories in history. Heir and magnate, shrewd politician, briefly 'king of summer' and then a desperate fugitive who nevertheless returned from exile to recover the kingdom he claimed, Bruce became a gifted military leader and a wise statesman, a leader with vision and energy. Colm McNamee combines the most up to date scholarship on this crucial figure in the history of the British Isles with lucid explanation of the medieval context, so that readers of all backgrounds can appreciate Bruce's enormous contribution to the historical impact not just on Scotland, but on England and Ireland too. It is designed to encourage popular reassessment of Bruce as politician, warrior, monarch and saviour of Scottish identity from extinction at the hands of the Edwardian superstate.Peeling back the layers of misconception and propaganda, the author paints an accurate, sympathetic but balanced portrait of a much beloved national hero who has fallen out of fashion of late for no good reason.…
