Robert the Bruce

When medieval Scotland has been reduced to an English vassal state by Edward I, it was Robert the Bruce who united the Scots in rebellion and won Scotland's independence. Using contemporary accounts for flavor and authenticity, Scott vividly reconstructs the heroic chronicle of the greatest Scottish leader. A gripping history of the man and time that inspired Mel Gibson's 'Braveheart', 'Robert the Bruce' portrays a world as magical as King Arthur's Camelot.

'A splendid read about a highly romantic time." Daily Telegraph (London)

'A heroic biography full of passionate verve... the ambiance of the medieval world is effectively presented.' Kirkus

'A vivd and gripping narrative, woven throughout with episodes every bit as romantic as those of King Arthur.' The Bookwatch
