Battle of Bannockburn

from Same Day, Different Century · host Zachary

On June 23, 1314, Robert Bruce, King of Scots, killed an armored English knight in single combat in the opening moments of the Battle of Bannockburn. Bruce had spent nearly a decade rebuilding Scotland through guerrilla raids and careful patience, avoiding open battle at every turn. But a reckless agreement by his brother forced England's hand, and the confrontation he had worked so hard to sidestep was suddenly unavoidable. What followed over two days near Stirling Castle would determine the future of Scottish independence.Send me a text!Support the show
