The Bruce is acknowledged as King of Scotland, but now he has all the problems of a ruler, as opposed to a rebel, and must also try and deal with King Edward, in England, and be formally recognised as a king, himself.

The best of the trilogy ...

This is the third book in a trilogy on the life and times of Robert the Bruce, King Robert I of Scotland. It tells of the years of struggle to obtain a peace treaty from England after Scotland's amazing win at Bannockburn. During this time, Bruce's brother takes Scotland's fight into Ireland in a blatant ploy for power. (He briefly becomes king there.) Bruce's dealings in this treachery reveal a savvy leader, whose goals ever are to strengthen Scotland's independence. The story ends with his death. The first book in the trilogy is THE STEPS TO THE EMPTY THRONE. The second is THE PATH OF THE HERO KING.
