Robert The Bruce
From 1306 to 1329, Robert the Bruce, often known as Robert I, governed an independent Scotland. After winning a guerrilla war against England, he helped secure Scottish independence. In June 1314, he won the Battle of Bannockburn. Scottish people, barons, and earls wrote to the Pope to support Robert I’s claim to the throne when Edward II refused to grant them freedom.
