14h-century warriors reinterred in Scotland

Two brave medieval warriors badly injured by marauding English soldiers have been laid to rest for a second time.

Both men suffered brutal sword wounds to their skulls during hand-to-hand fighting with troops loyal to English monarch Richard II.

The fighters’ remains were buried in a forgotten cemetery within the ancient Scots abbey they defended so bravely - but centuries later their bones were disturbed, along with the skeletons of 135 medieval Scots, by workmen laying a sewer.
