Description
De Bohun lowered his lance and charged, but Bruce stood his ground, riding on towards the English knight. The two men sped towards each other. At the last moment Bruce manoeuvred his mount nimbly to one side, stood up in his stirrups and hit de Bohun so hard with his axe that it cut through both Sir Henry’s helmet and skull and into his brain. Despite the great risk the King had taken, he merely expressed regret that he had broken the shaft of his favourite axe.
– Ann Hyland, the Warhorse 1250-1600
