A Warrior So Dangerous, England Called Him Nightmare

Описание: Black Douglas – England’s nightmare in the Wars of Scottish Independence. In the darkest years of the conflict, James “the Black” Douglas, loyal lieutenant of Robert the Bruce and the feared knight from Outlaw King, spread terror across northern England.
A ruthless guerrilla commander, the Black Douglas turned border warfare into a weapon of fear. He mastered night raids, ambushes, and psychological warfare. From the recapture of his stolen inheritance to the infamous Douglas Larder, his campaigns reshaped the brutal struggle between Scotland and England.
To the English, he was a shadow at the edge of the firelight.
To the Scots, he was a living symbol of resistance.
This is the real history behind the legend – no Hollywood speeches, just the cold, tactical reality that made England whisper his name in fear.
