James The Black Dougles Death At Teba

30mm (pre-supported and unsupported) model of James the Black Douglas, representing his death at the hands of the Moors at the battle of Teba.

Although the Castilians were ultimately victorious, the heroic Scottish nobleman was unfamiliar with the tactics of the Moors, he and his knights were drawn out of position by a feigned retreat, then the Moorish light horseman counted and surrounded them.  He threw King Robert the Bruce's heart in an attempt to complete his oath in taking it to fight the Saracens
