The Battle of Bannockburn was fought between English forces led by Edward II and Scottish forces led by Robert the Bruce in June (23-24) of 1314. Attempting to relieve the Scottish siege of Sterling Castle, Edward II attacked without decisive results on the battle's first day. On the battle's second day, Robert led the Scots in an attack in which their cavalry (and the recklessness of several English nobles) proved to be the winning element. The English were routed, although Edward II managed to escape to safety.

The Battle of Bannockburn was a significant Scottish victory in the First War of Scottish Independence. The Scottish army, led by King Robert the Bruce, defeated the much larger English army under King Edward II. The Scots utilized strategic positioning and the use of schiltrons, dense formations of spearmen, to repel English cavalry charges and secure the victory. The battle was a turning point in Scottish history and had long-lasting effects on the eventual independence of Scotland.
