Back in 1313, the Scots were revolting. Robert the Bruce was leading the First War of Scottish Independence and Edward II was absolutely sick of it. He marched north to sort ‘em out.
On 23rd June 1314 an English cavalry bumped into the Scottish king. He faced Henry de Bohun, an English nobleman, in single combat. After smashing Henry’s head open with an axe, Rob’s army charged at the English forces who retreated across the Bannock Burn; a small stream in central Scotland. The battle of Bannockburn followed.
