21 of 30 Days of April
Robert the Bruce (Scottish freedom fighter and King of Scots 1306-1329)
According to a legend, at some point while he was on the run during the winter of 1305–06, Bruce hid himself in a cave on Rathlin Island off the north coast of Ireland, where he observed a spider spinning a web, trying to make a connection from one area of the cave's roof to another. Each time the spider failed, it simply started all over again until it succeeded. Inspired by this, Bruce returned to inflict a series of defeats on the English, thus winning him more supporters and eventual victory. The story serves to explain the maxim: "if at first you don't succeed, try try again."
