 The Battle of Methven The Battle of Methven The battle of Methven started when Robert Bruce killed John Comyn in a church in Dumfries. This took King Edward I by complete surprise, so he sent out an army of 3,000 to capture Bruce. He also sent out one of his best generals, Aymer de Valence. He was told to kill Bruce and show no mercy to him. Bruce barley escaped and ran away to the Scottish Highlands with a few others. Citations: Book: Meek, James. The Land and People of Scotland. 1.
