<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Robert the Bruce had himself crowned King of Scots at Scone on a frozen March morning in 1306. After years of struggle, Scotland had been reduced to a vassal state by Edward I of England and its people lived in poverty. On the day he seized the crown Bruce renewed the fight for Scotland's freedom, and let forth a battle cry that would echo through the centuries. </p><p>Using contemporary accounts, Ronald McNair Scott tells the story of Scotland's legendary leader, and one of Europe's most remarkable medieval kings. It is a story with episodes as romantic as those of King Arthur, but also one which belongs in the annals of Scottish History, and has shaped a nation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Scott has a rare gift of underlining the significance of characters, places, and the customs of the time, conveying their presence almost as vividly as a photograph." --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Ronald McNair Scott</b> was educated at Cheltenham College and St John's College, Oxford.
