    "The fact that he didn't negotiate with Edward II proves that he was a patriot and not a self-interested flop. My point of view."

    agreed I have a lot of admiration for Bruce, he was a man hedged his bets but in his position Who wouldnt have done the same, he lost a great deal to achieve something that was cruelly wiped out with the stroke of a quill in 1707.

    As a king he made difficult choices and decisions, and he could have sat back and been a very rich man, instead he choose to do what he thought was right, so I think your correct.

    and one more thing.
    Robert Bruce of Scotland needs no apologists -he achived Scottish independance and defeated the English. whats left to apologise for??
