The Brus is a narrative poem written by John Barbour in the 14th century. It tells the story of the Scottish Wars of Independence and the life of Robert the Bruce, the King of Scotland. The poem is divided into 20 books and covers the period from 1298 to 1388. It describes the battles and political struggles between the Scots and the English, including the famous Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. The poem also portrays Robert the Bruce as a heroic figure who fought for Scottish independence and his struggles to keep the Scottish crown.
