01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
In the year 1304, outside the Sieges of Stirling Castle Stirling Castle, John III Comyn, Lord of Badenoch, Robert the Bruce, and other Scottish nobility surrender to Edward I of England. King Edward promises to return lands to the nobility in exchange for their homage (feudal). After the formalities have ended, Bruce spars with Edward's heir, the Edward II of England, and the King weds Bruce to his goddaughter, Elizabeth de Burgh. James Douglas, Lord of Douglas arrives to ask for the restoration of his ancestral lands but is dismissed by Edward, on the basis of the previous Lord Douglas's treason. The King and the Prince depart from Scotland, leaving its management to Comyn and Bruce, under the supervision of the Earl of Pembroke, Aymer de Valence, 2nd Earl of Pembroke. Elizabeth arrives to marry Bruce. On the wedding night, he respects his reluctant wife's wishes and delays the consummation. Bruce witnesses Englishmen conscripting his servants to the King's army. Not long after, his father, the Robert de Brus, 6th Lord of Annandale, passes away, lamenting the loss of his friendship with the King of England, while admitting it may have been a mistake to trust Edward.
