It was a spectacular win for Robert the Bruce, King of the Scots, over the two days of the 23rd and 24th of June 1314. Just like the triumph of Agincourt, which was to follow 100 years later, the Battle of Bannockburn was a win for the underdog, when a formidable army lost to one of significantly fewer numbers. A pivotal battle that would change the course of the First Scottish War of Independence which ended 14 years later with a victory for the Scots.
Today we continue our ‘Day in the Life Series’ and travel back in time to see what life was like for one of Robert the Bruce’s soldiers at the Battle of Bannockburn. Welcome to Medieval Madness.
