Scottish Monk

Bannockburn Scottish (Light) Side

Available only with complete set

Although Bruce spent most of his struggle ex-communicated by Rome, the people's Church was strong in his support. Bishop William Lamberton made his personal support very public, much to the chagrin of his "superiors" in England and abroad. The other Scottish clergy found comfort in this and many of the monks of Stirling's Cambuskenneth Abbey rallied to the cause.

Despite the peaceful pursuits within their cloisters, they were tough men who knew well how to handle a sword in battle. It was to Cambuskenneth that the dead and surrendered enemy nobility were brought after the battle. Presumably many of the monks who attended the injured played no small part in inflicting similar wounds on others!
