The Knight Who Threw a King’s Heart Into Battle

Описание: The Knight Who Carried a King’s Heart to Battle | The Black Douglas ⚔️ | BRUTAL SCOTS

In a foreign land far from the mist and stone of Scotland, a warlord rode into battle wearing a dead king’s heart around his neck.
By sunset, one of them would be buried in Spain.

This is the brutal true story of James Douglas—the Black Douglas.

Feared by England, whispered about like a demon, Douglas was not just a warrior.
He was a master of psychological warfare, a loyal captain, and the man trusted with Robert the Bruce’s final wish.

When the king of Scotland lay dying in 1329, he did not ask for monuments or glory.
He asked for his heart to be carried into holy war.

Douglas accepted.

What followed was not a funeral procession—but a military expedition across Europe, ending in heat, dust, and catastrophe on a Spanish battlefield where legend met reality.

This is a story of devotion, miscalculation, and the brutal truth of medieval warfare—where even the greatest warriors can die in the wrong valley on the wrong day.
