[Intro]
N.C.
The Field of Bannockburn outside Sterling is the testing ground, and 18 years
of wrangling
N.C.
over Scotland's sovereignty is about to be settled. It is mid-summer's eve
1314,
N.C.
King Edward II has brought his enourmous English army against a Scottish
force of about 5,000 men.
N.C.
And with the ignominious traitor's death of the patriot William Wallace fresh
in their minds,
N.C.
the Scots are in no doubt as to what capture and defeat will mean today. This
already stated,
N.C.
King Robert the Bruce leads his vastly outnumbered Scottish army forward to
the field,
N.C.
and into legend and song...
