The Brus is a historical poem written by John Barbour, a Scottish poet, in the 14th century. The poem tells the story of the Scottish War of Independence, specifically the events leading up to the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. It focuses on the life of Robert the Bruce, a Scottish nobleman who led the Scottish army against the English invaders. The poem is divided into twenty books and contains over 13,000 lines of verse. It is considered to be one of the earliest and most significant works of Scottish literature. The Brus provides valuable insights into the political and social climate of Scotland during the time of the War of Independence. It is written in Middle Scots, a dialect of the Scots language that was commonly used in Scotland during the 14th century. The poem is noted for its vivid descriptions of battles, landscapes, and characters, as well as its use of allegory and symbolism. The Brus is a must-read for anyone interested in Scottish history or medieval literature.To Sanct Androws he come in hy, Quhar the byschop full curtasly Resavyt him and gert him wer His knyvys forouth him to scher, And cled him rycht honorabilly And gert ordayn quhar he suld ly.
