The exploits of not one, but two, national heroes—William Wallace and Robert Bruce—have excited the attention of a host of novelists, filmmakers, artists, and songwriters, as well as historians. However, few have ventured to examine it in depth from an English perspective. Yet there could have been no Wallace or Bruce, no Stirling Bridge or Bannockburn, without the English kings' efforts to subjugate their northern neighbour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores how Edward I attempted to bring the Scottish kingdom under his control during the last years of the thirteenth and early years of the fourteenth centuries. Despite England's overwhelming military might, victory was by no means inevitable, and Scotland's leaders proved able to create a successful front to repel a far more powerful enemy. Packed with detail, description, and analysis, \u003cem\u003eUnder the Hammer\u003c\/em\u003e paints a vivid picture of a key period in the history of both nations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852100817132,"sku":"9781780276892","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/23555333482821.jpg?v=1759140308"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/fiona-watson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
