4.3(499)

Scotland, 1346. The army of David II has been shattered at Neville’s Cross, the king and William Douglas of Liddesdale are English prisoners, and much of southern Scotland lies exposed. Archibald Douglas returns from the defeat as a landless knight with few resources beyond experience and an unwillingness to accept occupation.

Archibald gathers allies for renewed resistance while trying to identify the betrayal threatening the Scottish cause. English pressure, divided noble loyalties and the absence of the captive king turn trust into a military calculation, forcing him to decide which relationships can survive a kingdom’s defeat.
