The "Encounter between Robert Bruce (1274-1329) and Sir Henry de Bohun (1276-1322)" is a historical illustration depicting a legendary event from the First War of Scottish Independence, specifically the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. This illustration was included in "British Battles on Land and Sea," a comprehensive work edited by Sir Evelyn Wood (1838-1919), a distinguished British Army officer and military historian. The book was first published in 1915 and provides an extensive account of significant battles involving British forces.

The illustration captures the moment when Robert the Bruce, King of Scots, encounters the English knight Sir Henry de Bohun on the eve of the Battle of Bannockburn. According to historical accounts, de Bohun recognized the Scottish king and charged at him with a lance, hoping to change the course of the war with a single blow. Bruce, however, stood his ground and, in a display of remarkable agility and combat prowess, managed to dodge the lance and strike de Bohun with his battle-axe, killing him instantly. This event is often celebrated in Scottish history as an example of David versus Goliath and is seen as a morale-boosting prelude to the Scots' subsequent victory at Bannockburn.

The "Encounter between Robert Bruce and Sir Henry de Bohun" illustration is one of many artworks that bring to life the pivotal moments of British military history as compiled by Sir Evelyn Wood in his edited volume. The work is not only significant for its artistic representation of a key historical event but also as a piece of early 20th-century historical interpretation, reflecting the period's interest in and attitudes towards the valorization of national heroes and the dramatization of their exploits.
