AVBHGAU4 This is a good treatment of the campaign and the battle. Mr. Armstrong (Good old Border name, that!), has produced a well mapped and clear account. The only vagueness, and this is not unusual in Medieval Military history, is the exact location of the actual fighting line. The scenario presented by Armstrong is quite believable however, and the rest of the book presents a wealth of material on the techniques, personnel, and chronology of the english-Scots conflicts for a ten year period. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Bannockburn was the climax of the career of King Robert the Bruce. In 1307 King Edward I of England, 'The Hammer of the Scots' and nemesis of William Wallace, died and his son, Edward II, was not from the same mould. Idle and apathetic, he allowed the Scots the chance to recover from the grievous punishment inflicted upon them. By 1314 Bruce had captured every major English-held castle bar Stirling and Edward II took an army north to subdue the Scots. Pete Armstrong's account of this pivotal campaign culminates at the decisive battle of Bannockburn that finally won Scotland her independence. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
