The Battle of Bannockburn (24 June 1314) was a significant Scottish victory in the First War of Scottish Independence, and a landmark in Scots history.The important English stronghold of Stirling Castle was under siege by the Scots, and King Edward II assembled a formidable army to relieve it. But this army was badly led and no match for the smaller force under Robert the Bruce, who was familiar with the terrain, crossed by many streams, including Bannock Burn. The battle started with a famous display of single combat, when the lightly-armed Bruce killed a heavily armed English knight, Sir Henry de Bohun, with a single axe-blow to the head. Through the rest of the first day, Bruce outmanoeuvred the English, who were decisively routed the next day, many of them drowning in the burn when trying to escape.
Still no idea what it's all about?........watch this fantastic 2-part BBC documentary
