The Renegade: a Tale of Robert the Bruce
“He grounded his heavy quarterstaff and pointed towards the party of men wending their way down from the tree-crowned hill to the west.
Lord Robert looked, then nodded. “Wishart,” he growled, and strode away towards the entry gates, shouting for his steward. Rob wiped the sweat from his brows and grinned at the man who had been belabouring him without mercy.
“I thank God he came when he did,” he said, “for I thought you were going to hammer me to my knees in front of my grandfather.”
The man he ...spoke to, Rab Elliot, was in his prime—Rob gauged him to be in his early thirties—and he was Lord Robert’s senior sergeant, master-at-arms to Annandale.
