Despatches, Letters and Diary of Vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Horatio Nelson
by Viscount Horatio Nelson Nelson
The Second Scottish War of Independence began in 1332, only four years after the previous conflict had ended. Fought once more for the continued freedom of Scotland from English conquest, the war also witnessed a revival of Scottish civil conflict as the Bruce-Balliol fight for the Scottish crown recommenced once more.
