The period 1296-1346 is one of the most significant in Anglo-Scottish relations and in the historical development of the two countries. Two nations which had existed peacefully were drawn into a conflict which was to last almost three hundred years. The first fifty years of the conflict provide the setting for The Killing Ground. It was an age of heroic figures -- on the Scottish side William Wallace and Robert Bruce, on the English Edward I and his grandson Edward III and an age of memorable battles.The Killing Ground looks deeper into the territory over which these events took place, the composition, tactics and strategies of the armies involved. Fisher also addresses the political and social consequences of these wars and their long-term effects.
