Noble Friends,
On this date in 1315, the Battle of Bannockburn began, the high point in
the Scottish Wars of Independence. King Robert the Bruce faced much
larger English army poorly led by Edward II. The two-day battle resulted
in a complete rout of the English forces, with massive casualties.
Although this wasn't the end of the Scottish wars (by far!), Scotland's
independence was assured for a number of years.

Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, That Proud Scot
