About this ebook
Bloody Berwick is well named as the history of Berwick-upon-Tweed is bloody indeed. Covering the period from the untimely death of Alexander III of Scotland in 1286 up to the symbolic construction of The Old Bridge over the Tweed in 1624 following the Union of the Crowns, Keith Ryan takes the reader on an unforgettable journey through the turbulent history of a town that constantly changed hands between two warring kingdoms. Featuring all the principal characters we are familiar with to this day, from Edward I (Hammer of the Scots) to Richard III, William Wallace, John Balliol, Robert the Bruce (all three of them) and the tragic little Maid of Norway, the tussle for this strategic town is brought to life with wry humour and not a little partisanship.
