EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 14th century, amidst the chaos of battle. The image depicts a significant moment before the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 during the First War of Scottish Independence. Standing at the forefront is Maurice of Inchaffray, the Abbot who played a crucial role as chaplain in this historic event. With arms raised high and dressed in traditional attire, Abbot Maurice blesses the brave Scots soldiers gathered around him. His solemn expression reflects both his faith and determination to inspire courage among his compatriots. As he holds a book tightly against his chest, it symbolizes not only religious guidance but also intellectual strength. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as warriors clad in armor stand ready for combat behind their spiritual leader. Each face reveals a mix of emotions - resolve, fear, hope - as they prepare to face King Edward II's forces led by Robert Bruce. This remarkable engraving captures an important moment in British history when Scotland fought for its independence against English domination. It serves as a reminder of the power that religion held over people's lives during medieval times and how it was intricately woven into every aspect of society. Preserved through time, this print from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" allows us to witness firsthand one man's blessing that would go on to shape destiny on that fateful day at Bannockburn.
