		In John Barbour, the author of The Bruce, we have a typical example of the prosperous churchman of the fourteenth century.
		Barbour does not often draw full length portraits of his heroes; but, almost at the end of his poem, tells us how Douglas looked and what were his chief characteristics (XX, 511 ff.).
		Barbour was not of the order whose “eye in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven.” He was a God-fearing churchman and statesman, who thought it well to put on record his country’s deliverance, before, in the inglorious days of Bruce’s successors, its memory should have perished.

	Barbour, John Criticism and Essays
		Always Barbour is a proponent for Scotland's independence from England andfor the recognition of Bruce as the legitimate king and a great leader.
		Barbour's conflation of Robert the Bruce with his grandfather into one person could have been deliberate or due to manuscript contamination; regardless, this combination, which irks historians, works in the romance by speeding up the narrative.
		Scholars are interested, in addition, in examining Barbour's intentions and in trying to determine his notion of history; A. Kinghorn has outlined changing conceptions of historical writing and explained that it is faulty practice to judge The Bruce, a fourteenth century work, in twentieth century terms.
