Books Included in This Lot:

📚 Robert the Bruce: King of Scots by Ronald McNair Scott Robert the Bruce had himself crowned King of Scots at Scone on a frozen March morning in 1306. After years of struggle, Scotland had been reduced to a vassal state by Edward I of England and its people lived in poverty. On the day he seized the crown, Bruce renewed the fight for Scotland's freedom and let forth a battle cry that would echo through the centuries. Canongate Books Using contemporary accounts, Ronald McNair Scott tells the story of Scotland's legendary leader and one of Europe's most remarkable medieval kings — a story with episodes as romantic as those of King Arthur, but one which belongs in the authentic annals of Scottish history and has shaped a nation. Amazon Called "the definitive biography of this heroic figure" by the Mail on Sunday .

📚 William Wallace: Brave Heart by James Mackay Sir William Wallace of Ellerslie is one of history's greatest heroes, but also one of its greatest enigmas — a shadowy figure whose edges have been blurred by myth and legend. Barnes & Noble James Mackay uses all his skills as a historical detective to produce this definitive biography, telling the incredible story of a man who, without wealth or noble birth, rose to become Guardian of Scotland. William Wallace, with superb generalship and tactical genius, led a country with no previous warlike tradition to triumph gloriously over the much larger, better-armed, and better-trained English forces. Amazon The biography that inspired the era of Braveheart and remains the most authoritative account of Wallace's life ever written.
