Seven hundred years ago the Scots won the Battle of Bannockburn sending proud Edward's army home tae think again! The story of Robert the Bruce has been taken up by novelist Robyn Young
in a three-part series called Insurrection, and the final volume, Kingdom has just been published. And in a further timely twist, Robyn will be talking at Rye Arts Festival about her work on Tuesday 16th September, just two days before the Scots' momentous vote on independence.Robyn is a relatively young novelist but she has sold over 2 million books in 22 different countries in 19 languages and she has completed not one but two trilogies of historical fiction! Her earlier Brethren series was set a little later than the current set and focused on the Knights Templar as a theme.
However, Robyn will be focusing on Robert the Bruce, who famously despairingly hid in cave and gained inspiration from the never-give-up attitude of a humble spider. The talk is at 3pm in the Marquee in Lamb House garden, and tickets are available for £12.
