Robert Bruce, King of Scots, Bannockburn 1314.
Henry de Bohun was killed on the first day of the Battle of Bannockburn by Robert the Bruce. Riding in the vanguard of heavy cavalry, de Bohun caught sight of the Scottish king who was mounted on a small palfrey armed only with a battle axe. De Bohun lowered his lance and charged, but Bruce stood his ground. At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that he split his helmet and head in two. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe
This mounted figurine, depicts King Robert Bruce t the moment of rising up and stiking down on de Bohun. It is hand made by Ballantynes of Walkerburn in the Scottish Borders.
