{"product_id":"the-brus-john-barbour-9781419155499","title":"The Brus","description":"The Brus is a medieval epic poem written by Scottish poet John Barbour in the 14th century. It tells the story of the Scottish Wars of Independence, particularly the life of Robert the Bruce, who led the Scots to victory over the English at the Battle of Bannockburn. The poem is divided into twenty books, and covers a range of topics including politics, war, chivalry, and romance. The Brus is considered one of the most important works of Scottish literature, and is often compared to other medieval epics such as Beowulf and The Canterbury Tales. The language of the poem is Middle Scots, which can be difficult for modern readers to understand, but it is still widely read and studied today.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.
