At Bannockburn in 1314, James Douglas commands part of the Scottish army that breaks Edward II’s invasion and secures Robert the Bruce’s hold over the kingdom. Victory brings him honour at home and a reputation that inspires fear across the border, but it does not bring English recognition of Scottish independence.

Bruce therefore orders Douglas to carry the war into northern England. Raiding is intended to force negotiation, yet every campaign deepens the destruction and asks whether national freedom can be purchased without sacrificing the people and places caught between the two kingdoms.
