Tempus-The Scottish Civil War: The Bruces and Balliols and the War for Control of Scotland 1286-1356

Overview: A controversial re-evaluation of the Scottish Wars of Independence which argues that the sixty years of civil war between two generations of rival claimants for the Scottish throne - each with their armed camps of ambitious nobles - had a far more devestating and revolutionary impact upon the kingdom of Scotland than the scrappy wars against England's Edwards I, II and III. This controversial book refocuses the history of the Scottish wars of independence onto the long-running rivalry between the houses of Bruce and Balliol and many other Scottish noble familiesScotlands War of the Roses.
