There was a Mel Gibson film of which one could say that any similarities with actual persons or events are unfortunately accidental which happens (perhaps coincidently) to be set in the right country at about the right time, but which otherwise drifts off on its own fantasy of violence as though there was enough and drama too in history as it is sometimes.

At the end of the 13th century, Scotland was a blood-torn country suffering under the harsh domination of a tyrant usurper, the hated Plantagenet, Edward. This is an example of very efficient writing in that that the author tells the same story as in the beginning of his Robert the Bruce trilogy, except from a slightly different point of view or to be explicit in this novel Robert the Bruce is an unreliable, lily-livered, unprincipled coward while in the Bruce trilogy he's a wily political survivor who could teach a fox a thing or two about cunning.Īpart from that minor difference the same historical ground is covered: King of Scots dies mysteriously, his heir is a little girl living in Norway, she is shipped to Scotland but dies in transit (medieval Maersk deny responsibility), enter rapacious English install John Balliol (his father had endowed the eponymous Oxford college) as King, he in a beautiful phrase is a toom tabard or an empty coat, one might say a suit, he's booted out were upon the serious fighting begins.
