Dance Information

Bruce's Men were the soldiers fighting for Robert the Bruce.

Robert I (11 July 1274 – 7 June 1329) usually known in modern English as Robert the Bruce was King of Scots from 1306 until his death in 1329.

His paternal ancestors were of Scoto-Norman heritage. He became one of Scotland's greatest kings, as well as one of the most famous warriors of his generation, eventually leading Scotland during the Wars of Scottish Independence against the Kingdom of England.
