Purchase options and add-ons

If you want to discover the captivating history of Scotland, the Wars of Scottish Independence and William Wallace, then keep reading...

Three captivating manuscripts in one book:
  • Scottish History: A Captivating Guide to the History of Scotland
  • Wars of Scottish Independence: A Captivating Guide to the Battles Between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, Including the Impact Made by King Robert the Bruce
  • William Wallace: A Captivating Guide to a Freedom Fighter and Martyr Who Impacted Scottish History and Scotland’s Independence from England
A sense of poetic irony registers when one learns that Scotland has never won a major military battle when the odds were in their favor. In 1513, the largest Scottish army to ever invade England was defeated by a significantly smaller English army at Flodden Field. In only two hours, the Scots lost ten thousand men. History repeated itself in 1542, when a Scottish army of 15,000 men was defeated by only 3,000 English soldiers. Despite their much smaller numbers, the English managed to take 1,200 Scottish men as prisoners. This humiliating defeat eventually contributed to the demise of King James V.

This new captivating history book takes you on a remarkable journey from the earliest extensive historical record of Scotland through the long struggle toward nationhood, all the way to Postwar Scotland.

I would have enjoyed the book more if it had more maps identifying places being referenced. Not knowing the countryside makes it hard to follow the dialogue.

I'll admit, what started me on this book was my fascination with the Scottish kilt and I can't say I regret picking up the book! I learned a lot about the ancient warriors and I'll definitely be looking into more by this publisher!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Idea!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018
Three books in one makes it easy to go back & forth to look up information. Picked things up that I did not know. One was on King James authorizing the writing of the Bible by scholars to take away Catholic influences after the Protestant Reformation. Scotland has such a back & forth history with England on wars & invasions . But, things worked out in the end.. One other thing was catastrophic Black Death & how it affected not only Scotland but much of the known world.
Such a great bundle of books to add to your knowledge base.
Great job Captivating History.
