The definitive biography of Robert the Bruce, with extensive new material based on the latest research. The life of Bruce is one of the greatest comeback stories in history.

Colm McNamee combines the most up to date scholarship on this crucial figure with lucid explanations and context, so that readers of all backgrounds can appreciate Bruce's enormous contribution to the historical impact not just on Scotland, but on England and Ireland too.
