Description

In June 1314, Robert Bruce met Edward II near Stirling and turned tight ground, drilled schiltrons, and smart timing into a decisive Scottish win. This episode explains why the approaches mattered, how the spearmen advanced, where the archers were blunted, and how Bannockburn shifted the wider war and Scotland's future.
