The wars of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce cast a long shadow in Scottish history. The collapse and recovery of the Bruce cause in the reign of Robert's son, David II, has not attracted much attention among historians of medieval warfare despite the fact thay the Scots were utterly defeated in three major battles. The nobility was destroyed at Dupplin Muir, the rank and file died in droves at Halidon Hill and, at Neville's Cross, the Scottish king was captured. So how did England manage to lose the war?
Drawn from English and Scottish state papers and chronicle accounts, this book tells the story of the armies and campaigns that developed the tactics that gave English forces the dramatic triumphs of the Hundred Years War.
