March 25, 1306
Robert the Bruce was crowned Robert I of Scotland.  Robert I and his troops
continued the struggle led by William Wallace against the
forces of Edward I of England.  Finally, in 1328, Scotland became
independent through the Treaty of Edinburgh signed between Robert I and
Edward III.

Robert I and his forces engaged in highly successful guerrilla
tactics:
