Some of the Scottish shields seen on the Bannok Burn battlefield
So you saw Braveheart and think that you know all there is to know about Robert the Bruce?
Did you know that he supported the rebellion of William Wallace, even burning Bruce lands to deny them to the English chasing Wallace?
Did you know that his father, in Braveheart the old man with “leprosy” who betrayed Wallace to the English, had been dead for over 15 months when Wallace was captured?
Or that The Bruce learned much about how to be king from Edward I (“Longshanks”)?
If you didn’t know all of those things, read the Rebel King series of books and get some real history for a change!
Tens of thousands of these books have already been sold… very unusual for self-published works… and continue to be sold across the nation and even in Scotland! Order yours now!
