A few quick notes. Thanks to cinema, we know the figures of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. Well, the latter was the true BRAVEHEART and became Robert I, king of an independent Scotland between 1306 and 1329. Ill with an uncertain illness and sensing that he had little time left, he wanted to revive an old vow he had made long before: to go on crusade to the Holy Land. He didn't have time to do so, and Robert died in Cardross in 1329. His entrails were removed and buried in the chapel of Saint Serf, where he used to pray, while the rest of his body was embalmed and transported, with great pomp and ceremony inside a leaded wooden coffin, to Dunfermline Abbey. In order to fulfill the king's last wish, his relatives organized an expedition to take his heart to Jerusalem, to be buried in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The organ was encased in a silver urn, which Sir James Douglas, his most esteemed comrade-in-arms, hung around his neck. He set off for the Holy Land at the head of a group of six knights and twenty-six squires. They traveled from Montrose to Flanders, where they were joined by more men. There they learned that King Alfonso XI of Castile had just ascended the throne upon coming of age and had begun a campaign against the Kingdom of Granada. The Scots decided to travel to the Iberian Peninsula and assist in the conquest, losing their lives in the endeavor. Alfonso XI returned the bodies of the fallen to Scotland, along with the heart of Robert the Bruce.
