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 McNair 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.
Ronald McNair Scott was educated at Cheltenham College and St John's College, Oxford. As a young man he became a literary critic for the Sunday Times. He later became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and authored two novel. From boyhood he was fascinated by Robert the Bruce, and spent six years researching and writing this book.
