Description: Bannockburn Monument plaque: For God And St. Andrew Robert The Bruce King Of Scots Planted His Standard Near This Spot When The Scottish Patriots Under His Command Vanquished The Army Of Edward II Of England At The Battle Of Bannockburn 24th June – 1314 “We Fight Not For Glory, Nor For Wealth, Nor Honour But Only And Alone We Fight For Freedom Which No Good Man Surrenders But With His Life” The quotation is taken from the final paragraph of the Declaration of Arbroath, believed to have been written by Bernard de Linton, Abbot of Arbroath, and appended with 51 seals of the pro-Bruce Scottish nobility. It was sent to Avignon to ask the schismatic Pope John XXII to recognise Bruce's de facto sovereignty over Scotland. He replied affirmatively.
