The Battle of Bannockburn (24 June 1314) was a significant Scottish victory in the First War of Scottish Independence, and a landmark in Scottish history.
Stirling Castle, a Scots royal fortress, occupied by the English, was under siege by the Scottish army. The English king, Edward II, assembled a formidable force to relieve it. This attempt failed, and his army was defeated in a pitched battle by a smaller army commanded by the King of Scots, Robert the Bruce.

23rd June 1314: Scottish victory at the Battle of Bannockburn
Robert the Bruce, who had seized the Scottish throne in 1306, defeated King Edward II of England and secured Scotland's de facto independence.
The battle was prompted by the Scots besieging the strategically important English-held Stirling Castle. The constable of the castle agreed to surrender unless he received assistance from the English army to break the siege by the 24th June. Faced with this imminent loss of the castle Edward II successfully raised an army of around 2,000 cavalry and 15,000 infantry to march on Scotland. Robert the Bruce’s army was significantly smaller than Edward’s, with estimates suggesting that he commanded around half the number of foot soldiers and only a quarter of the cavalry.
Bannockburn was unusual for a medieval battle in that it lasted for two days, with the first day being notable for Bruce single-handedly killing the young English knight Sir Henry de Bohun with an axe blow to the head after he tried to charge him with a lance. The ensuing melee resulted in the English being driven back, which had a devastating effect on their morale.
The next day, after a sleepless night on marshy land next to the river known as the Bannock Burn, the English were hemmed in by the advancing Scots in front and the water. Realising they had lost, Edward II was escorted away by his bodyguards.

Battle of Bannockburn - 2014
A re-enactment of the Battle of Bannockburn, 700 years after the original battle. A lighthearted version as portrayed in Bannockburn, Central Otago, New Zealand on 22 June 2014.
Organised by the Cromwell and Districts Promotion Group, scripted and led by the Waitati Militia with support from the Mad Hatters Tea Party, and with Scottish brigands hauled out of local retirement or nearby pubs.
2000 flour bombs containing 300kg of material was obtained locally by Ammunition Officers. The only injuries were to pride, gluey hair and beards, and a large quantity of self inflicted wounds - strongly enhanced by the generous services of nurses and monk attendants.
The Promotions Group trusts that attendees will be able to celebrate the 800th Anniversary event.

A State of Arms - Bannockburn, the MoD, and British Nationalism
On June 28th 2014, two major national events in Scotland went head to head.
In Stirling, armfuls of Union Jacks were being handed out as part of the celebrations for UK Armed Forces Day, while just a few miles up the road in Bannockburn, a vibrant 700 year anniversary of Scotland's most famous military victory was taking place.
In a year when the people of Scotland are asked to decide on independence from the UK, the symbolism of this apparently coincidental clash of public celebrations was remarkable.
