And so, in 1306, Bruce, the most politically intelligent and militarily successful figure in medieval Scottish history, did just that. He met with John Comyn, his main rival, and ended up stabbing him before the altar of Greyfriars Church in Dumfries. The murder is neither explained nor justified by it being the case of a patriot knocking off a quisling for Comyn had been a lot more consistent in his opposition to the English than Bruce. He remained loyal to King Balliol, who still lived, and so had to be removed. Barely six weeks after he had murdered Comyn, Bruce had himself inaugurated king at Scone. Instead of unifying the Scots behind a single leader, Bruce' s actions only intensified what was already a Scottish civil war, one that he initially lost. |
