This
book (the first of a four part series) is written by the very
descendants of This King of Scotland. They capture the very essence
of the times and trials of their Heroic family member. History
is not always an enjoyable read. It is most often dry as an old
set of bones, but these authors have made the characters of this
important time in the history of the concept of the freedom of
the people real and believable. They put flesh on the bones and
blood in the veins of history. Illustrated with Maps, and thirty
six grand sketches that put a face to each of the characters.

This
book contains an interesting and informative collection of writings
of contemporary researchers to include John Barbour. It is a
reconstruction of stories of the most historic figures of this
most important time in the history of freedom. It accounts for
episodes that are as romantic as they are heroic. It is a thundering
narrative of a real King of the ilk of King Arthur himself. Illustrated
with maps, diagrams of battles, lenage charts, and a chronology
of the life of the Bruce, it is broken up into three periods:
1285-1306; 1306-1314; and 1314-1329.
