Some excellent nominations. The only one I'm suprised not to see after almost 200 posts is Robert the Bruce. He was a brilliant tactician of guerilla warfare and his defeat of Edward II in 1314 at Bannockburn was almost a miracle.

Scots wha hae with Wallace bled
Scots wham Bruce has aften led
Welcome to your gory bed
Or to victorie.

Wha will be a traitor knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a slave?
Let him turn and flee!
