Few aspects of Scottish history inspire as fervent an interest as
the wars with England. The exploits of not one, but two, national
heroes - William Wallace and Robert Bruce - have excited the
attention of a host of novelists, filmmakers, artists and
songwriters, as well as historians. But few have ventured to
examine it in depth from an English perspective. Yet there could
have been no Wallace or Bruce, no Stirling Bridge or Bannockburn,
without the English kings' efforts to subjugate their northern
neighbour. This book explores how Edward I attempted to bring the
Scottish kingdom under his control during the last years of the
thirteenth and early years of the fourteenth centuries. Despite
England's overwhelming military might, victory was by no means
inevitable, and Scotland's leaders proved able to create a
successful front to repel a far more powerful enemy. Packed with
detail, description and analysis, Under the Hammer paints a vivid
picture of a key period in the history of both nations.
