In June of 1314, Scottish forces under the command of Robert the Bruce squared off against an English army led by King Edward II.

The battle was the culmination of years of English intervention in Scotland after a succession crisis.

Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Scots won the day, earned their independence, and firmly established Robert the Bruce as king of Scotland.
