Battle of Kings: Bannockburn
By the year 1314, the Scottish King, Robert Bruce, had taken over every major English castle except Stirling. This was thanks to a lot of work and sleight of hand. This time, the English King Edward II would try to stop him, and he'd try to stop the Scottish rebellion for good, too. In the shadow of Stirling Castle, the Battle of Bannockburn took place. This is the story of how the pivotal campaign came to a close with the decisive victory. Today, as Scotland thinks about a referendum on Scottish independence, we look into the minds and hearts of the people who helped build a country at the Battle of Bannockburn, which took place in 1314. With bloody battle scenes like 300 and Sin City, we bring to life one of the most important times in Scotland's history.
