Product 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.

1.0 out of 5 stars A fine companion to Stirling Bridge 1297, 1 Jun 2007

By	E. Lindsay - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Definately a fine bed time read with Horlicks if you are of English chauvenist persuasion and you need a little comforting before getting to sleep while pondering an English disaster.

Like the companion book in the series on Stirling Bridge the authors bias comes through and the now fashionable (though unconvincing) attempt to play down numbers of English involved, and gloss over English losses comes through as the prime reason for this book having been put into print in the first place.

Scottish forces receive a reverse treatment in being increased in size though the author makes little factual justification for this or indeed appears to have made little worthwhile investigation on this matter at all.

With depressing inevitability books both end in a one sided bed time feel good factor (if you are English) by revelling in the (allegedly) minor affairs Scottish victories were while what holocaust blood-baths Scottish defeats were.
Theres much better coverage available out there on both subjects notwithstanding the standard Osprey thin book format.

Too partisan, give them a miss.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not enough horrlicks for some Scottish nationalists, 31 Jul 2007

By	J. May (Luton (just north of London), UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just started reading this book, but the above review is nonsense- the authur sets out an order of battle (page 43), which gives approx 14,000 in the English army and 8,000-10,000 for the Scots.

Neither figure is what could be called controversial or wildly different from other modern accounts, expect maybe for Mel Gibson and fellow travellers.
