The Battle of Bannockburn: Scotland's Greatest Victory
In 1314, Robert the Bruce faced the army of Edward II at Bannockburn in a battle that would seal Scotland's independence for a generation. This episode walks through the two days of fighting, the strategic choices that turned a smaller Scottish force into victors, and the longer shadow the battle cast on Anglo-Scottish relations. We look at the role of the schiltron, the death of Sir Gilbert de Clare, and the legend of the 'bannock' that gave the field its name. A turning point in the Wars of Independence.
