Robert the Bruce is a detailed account of the life and times of the
Scottish hero and monarch. It covers his life from childhood to
death, looking at the political, social and military life of
Scotland before, during and after the time of Robert the Bruce. The
book looks at the relationship between The Bruce and people like
Edward I and Edward II of England, William Wallace and the other
contenders for the Scottish crown. The main thrust of the book is a
chronological account of how The Bruce clawed his way to power, his
struggles and battles and his eventual victory which gave Scotland
independence and freedom from an acquisitive and warlike neighbour.
It looks in detail at the murder of John Comyn, of which The Bruce
stood accused, and the political ramifications of the killing.
Robert the Bruce was no saint. He was a ruthless, cunning warrior,
a man of his times, dedicated to what he saw as his mission in
life. Flawed he may have been but he was also a great King, a
worthy warrior and a man who deserves to emerge from the shadow of
William Wallace - a position to which he has been relegated ever
since the film Braveheart.
