    Battle of Bannockburn
    June 23/24th 1314

    The decisive battle in the wars of Scottish independence and the one which cemented King Robert's iconic status.

    The most famous encounter of the battle began before the troops had engaged. The King was inspecting the Scots' troop formation, without his armour & mounted on a small horse. The English knight Henry de Bohun saw his chance & charged. The King swerved, spun round & cleaved de Bohun's head with his battle axe.
