It certainly sends shivers down my spine!

To me, there are two things that stand out:

1. The whole telling the English to shove it bit. I don't mean that as an anti-English sentiment, more a recognition that it was time to remind them that, if they wanted another Bannockburn, then they should expect one if they fancied future forays north of the border!

2. The more important thing to me is the putting the monarch in position at the sufferance of the people. If the monarch messed up, he/she was out on their ear!
