A new history of the lives of the Scottish knights and men-at- arms who fought against - and alongside the armies of Edward I, Edward II and Edward III for more than half a century.
Although there were several major battles - Stirling Bridge, Falkirk, Bannockburn, Myton, Halidon, Culblean and Neville''s Cross - the great majority of the fighting was conducted by relatively small bodies of armoured cavalry drawn from the nobility and burgesses. The ability of the Bruce party to attract the service and allegiance of these men was vital to its eventual success. This is the first detailed examination of the military responsibilities and practices and the political and social factors that led the Scottish gentry and nobility to wage War for Independence from the larger and richer Kingdom of England.
