Battle Story: Bannockburn 1314
Brown, Dr ChrisOne of the greatest battles to have taken place on Scottish soil
Bannockburn 1314 is the most celebrated battle between Scotland
and England, in which a mere 7,000 followers of Robert the Bruce
defeated more than 15,000 of Edward II’s troops. The Battle of
Bannockburn, fought over two days on 23 and 24 June 1314 by a small
river crossing just south of Stirling, was a decisive victory for
Robert, and secured for Scotland de facto independence from England. It
was the greatest defeat the English would suffer throughout the Middle
Ages, and a huge personal humiliation for Edward. Chris Brown’s account
recreates the campaign from the perspectives of both the Scots and
English. If you want to know what happened and why read – Battle Story.
