Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, was one of the important figures in Scotland's long struggle for independance from England.
After the demise of Wallace, the bannner of Scottish resistance was taken up by Robert the Bruce, who lead his countrymen to victory and freedom from English domination at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314.
Although he was crowned in 1306, it wasn't until 1327, after many battles, that he was acknowledged as lawful king by the English. He died in 1329.
