In Single Combat by Mark Churms.
Robert The Bruce dispatches Sir Henry De Bohun before the Battle of Bannockburn. Far ahead of Edward IIs main army, marching from Falkirk to relieve Stirling Castle, rides the English vanguard. Late on that day, 23rd June 1314, these horsemen advance along the Roman road and cross Bannockburn. Eager for combat Gloucesters bold Barons and Knights spur on their chargers towards the gathered Scottish infantry. Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, not yet fully dressed for battle, sits astride a grey pony. He rides out ahead of his formations to observe the enemys advance. One of the English Knights, Sir Henry De Bohun, seeing the Kings vulnerable position, gallops ahead of his fellows to engage Bruce in single combat. Undaunted, the King holds his ground. Skillfully turning his mount away from the thrust of the Knights deadly lance in one movement he swings his battle axe down upon his enemys head with such force that the handle is shattered and the unfortunate attackers skull is split in two. In triumph, Bruce returns to the cheers of his countrymen who before the day is out will soon deliver a similar fate upon many other English noblemen. As the light fades the Riders retire but both armies know well that the main battle of Bannockburn has yet to begin.

Far ahead of Edward II's main army, marching from Falkirk to relieve
Stirling Castle, rides the English vanguard. Late on that day, 23rd June
1314, these horsemen advance along the Roman road and cross Bannockburn.
Eager for combat Gloucester's bold Barons and Knights spur on their chargers
towards the gathered Scottish infantry. Robert the Bruce, King of Scots,
not yet fully dressed for battle, sits astride a grey pony. He rides out
ahead of his formations to observe the enemy's advance. One of the English
Knights, Sir Henry De Bohun, seeing the King's vulnerable position, gallops
ahead of his fellows to engage Bruce in single combat. Undaunted, the
King holds his ground. Skillfully turning his mount away from the thrust
of the Knight's deadly lance in one movement he swings his battle axe
down upon his enemy's head with such force that the handle is shattered
and the unfortunate attackers skull is split in two. In triumph, Bruce returns
to the cheers of his countrymen who before the day is out will soon deliver
a similar fate upon many other English noblemen. As the light fades the
Riders retire but both armies know well that the main battle of Bannockburn
has yet to begin. |
