This mounted figure of The Bruce is closely modeled on the actual monument designed by Charles Pilkington Jackson which overlooks the battlefield of Bannockburn near Stirling in Scotland. Unveiled by Her Majesty The Queen in 1964 it shows Bruce mounted on his mighty warhorse and holding a battleaxe in his right hand. Colourful, dramatic and impressive it makes a worthy addition to K&Cs other medieval Scottish warriors.
Robert I, better known in modern English as Robert Bruce, also known as Robert the Bruce (* 11 July 1274; 7 June 1329 in Cardross, Dunbartonshire), was King of Scotland from 1306 until his death in 1329. The medieval Scottish-Gaelic spelling was Roibert a Briuis, the Norman-French spelling was Robert de Brus.
During the Scottish Wars of Independence against England, he was the leader of the rebellious Scots. -Wikipedia-
