In The Scottish Chiefs, Miss Jane Porter takes an in-depth look at England's King Edward I attempt to impose himself as liege lord over the Scottish kings and lords. Porter chronicles the contributions of larger-than-life personages William Wallace and Robert the Bruce as the Scots resist Edward's advances.
