About Me

Do the tides of history force certain men into greatness, or is greatness forged within their hearts and executed through their will?.......................... I was the grandson of the Robert Bruce who tried to get the throne after the death of Alexander. He was descended from the great King David 1, since he was the great-grandson of Isabel, the daughter of the Earl of Huntingdon who in turn was the grandson of David...I was remembered for finishing the 30 year War of Independence, by finally driving the English out of Scotland. In 1314, a huge English army lead by Edward II, the son of Longshanks and husband of Princess Isabella in Braveheart, headed for Stirling. Edward was no better a general than he was a king. Weak would be the kindest description. Bruce had learned much of Wallace's military skills, had a month to prepare his army, and therefore, at Bannockburn, the English army was routed. Scotland was free at last.

Books:

On foot should be all Scottish warLet hill and marsh their foes debarAnd woods as walls prove such an armThat enemies do them no harm.In hidden spots keep every storeAnd burn the plainlands them beforeSo, when they find the land lie wasteNeeds must they pass away in hasteHarried by cunning raids at nightAnd threatening sounds from every height.Then, as they leave, with great arraySmite with the sword and chase away.This is the counsel and intentOf Good King Robert's Testament.

Heroes:
