Synopsis
David II [tel], son of the hero King of Scots, Robert Bruce [tel], has suffered a harsh historical press, condemned as a disastrous general, a womaniser and a sympathiser with Scotlands auld enemy, England. Bringing together evidence from Scotland, England and France, Michael Penman offers a different view: that of a child king who survived usurpation, English invasion, exile and eleven years of English captivity after defeat in battle in 1326 to emerge as a formidable ruler of Scotland. Learning from Philip VI of France and Edward III of England in turn, David became the charismatic patron of a vibrant court focused on the arts of chivalry: had he lived longer, Scotlands political landscape and national outlook might have been very different to that which emerged under his successors, the Stewart kings.
