Battle of Bannockburn - 1314

Kingdom of Scotland: Robert Bruce

Kingdom of England: Edward II

Result: Decisive Scottish victory

Location: Bannockburn, south of Stirling, Scotland

The Battle of Bannockburn 24 June 1314 was a significant Scottish victory in the Wars of Scottish Independence and one of the decisive battles of the First War of Scottish Independence.

Edward Bruce, brother of the Scottish King, began the siege of Stirling Castle, which was commanded by Sir Philip Mowbray. Unable to make any headway, Bruce agreed to a pact with Mowbray 'if no relief came by midsummer 1314, the castle would surrender to Bruce.

It was now two years since an English army had come to Scotland, and King Edward II of England had recently been on the verge of war with his barons after the murder of Piers Gaveston in the summer of 1312.
