The skillfully detailed set of Bannockburn theme chess pieces features many of the historic characters from the famous battle.
Note the amazing aspects of detail which really bring out the quality of the pieces e.g. the bricks of the wall of the rook (or castle) featured in the image below actually get smaller as they reach the top which is authentic for the construction of the time.
The Scots side is led by Robert the Bruce, or King Robert l - who was famously heartened by the tenacious spider to persist in his struggle against the English. He is accompanied by his Queen, Elizabeth de Burgh, who was reunited with King Robert after being captured eight years earlier.
The English are represented by Edward ll who reigned from 1284 until 1327 when he was deposed, imprisoned and horrifically killed at the behest of his wife, the Queen of England, Isabella of France. The rook on both sides is the Tower of Old Stirling Castle which overlooked the battle from it's site on top of an old volcanic rock.
