Another fascinating history of Scotland ,i just love the delivery . If more history teachers gave lectures and presentations like this , i am totally convinced more people would take an interest in history.
Sir, your videos are top shelf. I've learned so much about Scotland's history by watching yours. The topics you bring to us are filled with facts you can't get elsewhere, your comical remarks add a giggle or smile, and the scenery in all is so beautiful in the countryside, the cities, and quaint villages. Thank you for bringing these to us who follow along for the tour. ❤
@ that’s more or less what I was getting at; Edward’s repeated interference and incursions hardened resistance to English rule and provided opportunities for improvement among the military class
Another masterwork, Mr. F. I do love all these old kings with a "Ozymandias Complex" for want of a better name for it. They yoke together as many lands as they can and award themselves some grand title, only for the whole thing to fall apart almost before their mortal remains are settled in their graves. Handshakes beat hammers every time imo.
I live not far from the place where Edward died and the reason he was in that particular place was because there is a tidal route across the swamp, sand and mud that runs from what is now The Esk Boathouse across to the Lochmaben Stone. That's also why the Battle of Sark took place there too - it was where the tidal route meets the Scottish coast. You can see the Scottish shore from Edwards monument. So close and yet so far.....
That IS ironic. I've been researching that very area about another medieval battle. I wanted to go and see that Edward I memorial. You've done that for me! Thanks!
The heart of the Bruce was taken by Sir James Douglas and ended up initially in Teba in Andalucia. Douglas and his soldiers got into a battle to help protect the castle. There is a monument to Douglas in Teba and they still celebrate Douglas Day every August. Teba has it's own pipe band and the locals wear kilts on Douglas Day.
Thanks for another great video Bruce! Your commentary on turds wasn't lost on me; dysentery took this horrible man! How Edward Longshanks died is proof that greed for power is no way to live a good life! True power comes by how you live. Edward lost his real power trying to conquer what wasn't his to begin with! His family never recovered from his overpowering ego or the lack of money and allies that his ways dissolved. I wish that history was taught in schools the way you teach it. More folks might stay awake to learn its lessons!
I always enjoy your history lessons! I know my family comes from Scotland. My direct ancestor left Belfast and came to Savannah, Georgia in 1769. I'm a member of the Boyd DNA Project. Along with about 30 others, according to my DNA results, I'm a member of the "Noble line" whatever that means. That's my Scottish connection. Keep up the good work!👍
Great video! You have a knack for adding humor into a very informative and interesting video! I love hearing any reference to Roxburgh. The area of Philadelphia, PA, USA where I grew up, Roxborough, was named after Roxburghshire, Scotland where one of the earliest settlers of the area, Andrew Robeson was from. It reminds me of the connection that my old neighborhood has with Scotland.
Aethelstan didn't need to conquer Scotland the Scottish kings (Vikings) bent the knee and he was technically the only English one out of the ones listed.
@tallshort1849 Battle os Athelstaneford proves he felt it necessary to try. Ecgfrith was Anglo-Saxon. The fact that they weren't all English is irrelevant to the point.
@tallshort1849 Do you mean Brunanburh in 937AD? Different King from Athelstane at Athelstaneford in 832AD. Apart from that I'm not sure what you have in mind.
I often find in death people are given titles they didn't deserve or glories they sought after but didn't achieve. In death, we are harmless and that emboldens men to pity the memory of the dead by bolstering their deeds with fiction or excess to content the discomfort in our hearts. It's why poets don't get famous until after they die.
Often? Plse share a few examples. Other than poets. In recent years Sgt Yorks deeds have been called into question. Many of Billy Bishop's victories are unconfirmed. Are we talking stuff like that?
Edward the Elder, Edwards the Martyr and Edward the Confessor all came before Longshanks (Although the first two were not kings of all England. It was post 1066 ethnic cleansing that made Longshanks Edward the First.
If I did my research correctly my family was fighting in Scotland around that time. I'm not quite sure of all the details except from following my family tree from Cantwell, Fox, Martin, Mooney, Battonberg and more. It seems longshanks got hammered by the scots and your words stand strong. Thank you for your wisdom friend.
Erm he did batter control and rule us. We won at Stirling cos he was not there. We never had a shot at independance until he died. Do not kid yourself. He ruled us.
He must have been hell bent on conquering Scotland if he told his son to drag his bones up there after his death. He was rolling in his grave as they were literally rolling his grave to Bannockburn.
Another great vid, Bruce! 👍🏼 Personally I think the whole ‘Hammer of the Scots’ is derogatory to us, and I hate hearing it! Btw, I’m glad you moved outside the Greyhound Inn cos when you were inside, Foreigners ‘I Want to Know What Love Is’ was distracting me! 😂
I always wondered how much flattery there was to be had in the nomer malleus. Since first learning of that affectation and given that none knows for *sure* why his tomb is so extraordinarily plain, I've often wondered if it was in fact something of a slight; After all to a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
Damn you, Bruce! I just spat a mouthful of tea and a half-chawd shortie finger onto my phone screen after that hammer/arse metaphor!!! Baaastaaaaarrrrdddd.....!!!
Like Richard the Lionheart it appears that Edward I was overly mythologized in the centuries after his death. Thank you for setting the record straight. All the best to you.
All great info and still love the bits of humor. Hammer my arse.... Not being Scottish or even from UK, I need maps of locations sometimes. I know it's more work for you but do appreciate it. Hello from rainy Oregon US.
Hey Bruce. Thanks for all your work. Can you please do a video on the sacking of Dundee and of the loss of the plundered loot of the local areas of Dundee and to which proceeded to sink in the River Tay in a storm after the attack which might I say cost the lives of many people of this City at the hands of the powers of England. You would bring this little bit of Scottish history to life with your narration and humour 👍🏴 all be it not a humorous event but you have the knack of bringing humour to Scottish history even though it is mostly tragic 👍🏴😉
As soon as we gain our independence he'll spin in his grave. We have the talent and drive in Scotland to put a colony on Mars, but we need a booming economy before we can afford it. Just think how Longshanks would react to that, the Scots beating the English to Mars and making it work. What a way to flip the English tyrants of old 😂
English kings always had a thing about being entitled to the entire island. Was reading about AEthelstan the other day who, as soon as he'd united all the Anglo-Saxons under one king, immediately set about trying to conquer Wales.
I can listen to this man prattle aboot all day, Hen. Like a poet, who took a tell'in and boiled his trainers before he ate them and every word rolls doon the highlands and off 'is tongue like a chocolate turd on fire. Aye, History of Scotland, canne go wrong there, lads.
@@Anthem_79 If it was the tomb of someone as disreputable and despicable at Edward I, I reckon I'd be OK with it. For a measure of Longshank's character, check up on how he treated the jews of England who were literally in his care. Some don't deserve sanctity. I like Bruce's telling of history precisely because he peels away the gloss of imagined glory.
@@Anthem_79oh get over yourself you soft turnip. You’re going to get all bent over someone pissing on the grave of someone who was a tyrant and an oppressor? Says a lot about you 😂😂
@Hiltok what kind of crap justification is that? So you get to choose who's tomb you piss up depending on how disreputable they were. Nobody should be pissing on any tombs. And I don't need to check up on how long shanks treated the Jews, I already know. As for Bruce, his telling of history is always anti English nationalistic crap.
I always thought of Edward I as tyrant and, by our standards, a war criminal, so I was a bit disappointed to find both he and Edward II as ancestors in my family tree. 😞 On the other hand, I also found Robert the Bruce. 😏
I live in Canberra, Australia. I clicked on the link, and was sent to oblivion. Mind you, some argue that being sent to Australia was the equivalent of being sent to oblivion. Certainly a fair few came here to never leave again. Frankly, I love the place. Now, to the point in question. How do I get to see YOU, here, in Canberra, and WHEN and where?
Edward's real legacy, was that he dang near bankrupted England, Ireland, Wakes and his French Duchies in his vindicative quest to conquer Scotland once and for all.
He was really Edward the Third - being preceded by King Alfred's son - Edward the Elder, then Edward the Younger (AKA "The Martyr" - don't ask) plus Edward the Confessor
I'm actually the descendent of Edward the First's Groom of Emptying the Shitpail. He was nearly promoted to master of the piss bucket but old Longshanks bought the farm.
In 2005, on the 700th anniversary of the execution of William Wallace I went to Westminster Abbey to tell Longshanks that we were still here, then after a look over my shoulder, I spat on his tomb Get it up ye, Eddie

Longshanks died with fantastic debts. England was essentially bust.
Hello my Husband just did an DNA Test he is A Robertson of the Robertson Clan?you two might be cousins?

Another fascinating history of Scotland ,i just love the delivery . If more history teachers gave lectures and presentations like this , i am totally convinced more people would take an interest in history.
yes indeed, and there would be a bunch more students saying; "wait, what did he say?" 🤗😁
Absolutely! I had a history teacher in high school who you could tell loved her subject because she made classes fun and interesting!

Thanks for all your great storytelling, Bruce!
Longshanks’ greed and arrogance defeated him. Your videos are top class, Bruce.
Rochester Castle in Kent never gave in too him no one left to surrender
Edward Longshanks, Hammer O' The jew $$ 1290 A.D. KICK UM OUT O' inglandshAye ! er.
Great as ever Bruce !!
So much unsaid in our history!!
Edward Longshanks, Hammer O' The jew $$ 1290 A.D. KICK UM OUT O' inglandshAye ! er.
Great stories about Scotland's past and history. Always look forward to your next.
I would argue that the moniker “Hammer of the Scots” is still applicable; a hammer doesn’t crush a sword at the forge- it hardens one.
Actually the hammer in the forge shapes the sword and Edwards actions shaped Scotland into a sword that he would never truly be able to break
@ that’s more or less what I was getting at; Edward’s repeated interference and incursions hardened resistance to English rule and provided opportunities for improvement among the military class
Yeah I get that. Im a bladesmith and couldn't help correcting the error
@ I only know the rudiments 😅 thank you for the correction!
Haha, i like that one. Essentially Edward I forged the "sword" that defeated his son in 1314. :)
Another masterwork, Mr. F.

I've never heard the term before, but it's an apt application of it. Look upon my works and despair, indeed.
Yes, Brucie very interested when you tell us your Informative & Entertaining Scottish History.

Love this, looking forward to watch all the other videos now. Your an absolute natural sir, great presentation.
Thank you kindly!
Love the channel and view you as an old friend. Edward I was the first Edward of his Anglo-Norman dynasty, which is why he gets to be Edward I.
Marc Morris's book A Great and Terrible King is very good on how Edward's invasion of Scotland was a dreadful mistake.
That IS ironic. I've been researching that very area about another medieval battle. I wanted to go and see that Edward I memorial. You've done that for me! Thanks!
lovely use of Nelson's laugh !!!

Like the Romans, Ecgfrith, Aethelstane and others before and after him Longshanks found Scotland a bit of a difficult proposition to conquer

So well put Bruce ❤ never a hammer big enough x
I recently listened to Fiona Watson book Under the Hammer on audiobook. Fascinating.

Hammer of the Scots....My Arse.
Superb!
Thank you! Cheers!
I have always said that Longshanks was never the Hammer of the Scots, as he had never actually conquered us. It was just wishful thinking
He was rather pissed off that he didn't manage it
Erm he did batter control and rule us. We won at Stirling cos he was not there. We never had a shot at independance until he died. Do not kid yourself. He ruled us.
He must have been hell bent on conquering Scotland if he told his son to drag his bones up there after his death. He was rolling in his grave as they were literally rolling his grave to Bannockburn.
I thought he did for a year or two in 1296?
Hammers sometimes miss their nails
A hammer is not exclusively for crushing... In the hands of a skilled smith it shapes, forms and hardens...

Richard the Lionheart was a rockstar of his day. According to all sources he was a living legend. Even Saladin respected him.
@Libbyyyyyyyyyy He was a great military leader in the Crusades. He wasn't a good king. In total, he spent only six months in England during his reign.
Aye Bruce. Perhaps the inscription on Teddy's tomb should read: "Bonus res hic jacet" (here lies a man's good business). Arohanui mate
Most enjoyable. Cheers

Its a good thing I was not aware of the hammer of the Scotts...this way I got the accurate history here first. Thank you Bruce!!!
Glad to help😜
Like the Romans before him he discovered up here you can conquer land but not the will of the people

When are you coming to the US? We could use your humor and knowledge at our Highland Games here in Minnesota.
Sorry, but visa requirements don't justify travelling to the US. Canada, Australia and New Zealand are more welcoming
