The life of Robert Bruce is one of the greatest comeback stories in
history. Heir and magnate, shrewd politician, briefly 'king of
summer' and then a desperate fugitive who nevertheless returned
from exile to recover the kingdom he claimed, Bruce became a gifted
military leader and a wise statesman, a leader with vision and
energy. Colm McNamee combines the most up to date scholarship on
this crucial figure in the history of the British Isles with lucid
explanation of the medieval context, so that readers of all
backgrounds can appreciate Bruce's enormous contribution to the
historical impact not just on Scotland, but on England and Ireland
too. It is designed to encourage popular reassessment of Bruce as
politician, warrior, monarch and saviour of Scottish identity from
extinction at the hands of the Edwardian superstate. Peeling back
the layers of misconception and propaganda, the author paints an
accurate, sympathetic but balanced portrait of a much beloved
national hero who has fallen out of fashion of late for no good
reason.
