      Pointing out bias in stories just tells people of the opposite persuation to not believe it. Also just who does the "factualty" checking part? And just what are their leanings?
      Many Left leaning sights couch themselves as unbias in their reporting however heavily one sided they are slanted.
      May I add that when a left issue is ever presented that isn't tied into an emotion rather than logic will be the day I ever take they left serious. But they are still scary af people with a little power and cannot be trusted with that power for the good of all the people.
      Not blaming you in this. But it is akin to presenting climate facts from NASA thinking it's the truth(cause it's Science!)and not knowing anything about their 20 years of changing the historical temperature record and slowly erasing the past as we've understood it for the last 150 years and invented their own...cause "SCIENCE"!
      You wanna get into history? Go back and listen to President Eisenhower's farewell address to the people in 1961. Pay particular attention to what he says AFTER he talks about the Military Industrial Complex.
      There's your sign

      It is said that after Loudon Hill, Longshanks, outraged at the defeat, challenged Bruce to what is now recognized as the first recorded rap battle in history. While we only have fragmentary documentation of the ensuing clash, it is considered one of the finest examples of a lyrical engagement to exist. Bruce's brilliant use of rhyme scheme and strategic deployment of biting insults literally caused Longshanks to perish. Whether or not this occured is still debated by historians, so it makes sense that History Marche didn't include it.
      I would include the segment of Bruce's final verse that ended Edward's life, but not only would RUclips block my comment, I would likely be arrested. Bruce's rhymes are so powerful that it takes years of training to read them without risk to life and limb.

      @@Zogerpogger I'm familiar with some of those rather obscure passages. There's current thinking that the word interpreted that insinuates a rhyme battle is more of an anachronism. This would indicate that it was in fact a dance off in which the Bruce and Longshanks partook. This has given rise to many modern cultural phenomena. For example, the injuries Longshanks sustained during this dance off, partly due to poor footwork resulting in several falls, contributed to his death soon after. The style of dance off incorporated by the Bruce therefore became known as "breakdancing".
      As you have pointed out, there were numerous biting insults hurled by the Bruce during the event, which apparently threw Longshanks off his game. This is considered to be the first instance of "sledging". This tactic has lived on into the modern era to be seen in sports like cricket. Further, some of the comments from UFC fighter Connor McGregor during his pre-fight epigrammatic exchanges are almost certainly straight out of the accounts from this historic engagement.
      So I suppose, like in all things history, the events surrounding this incident are very nuanced. My thinking is that it was both a dance off and a rap battle, but there is quite a lot of contention about this amongst the scholars.

    • @Zogerpogger
      @Zogerpogger 2 года назад +2

      @@haroldgodwinson5043 I appreciate your position. I have great respect for the work done by the scholars of the dance-off school of thought. Their theses indeed influenced my understanding of this historical episode. I'm ultimately more of a rap-battle purist, but mostly with you on the idea that it was both a rap-battle and a dance-off. I only chose to share just the original rap-battle narrative due to the complexity of the dance-off theory.
      At the end of the day I think we can agree that it was bold of Bruce to challenge a man with such sizeable legs. As we know Longshanks got his name via his practice of challenging rivals to proto dance offs. I like to think that Bruce knew this though and wanted to prove himself by defeating Edward at his own game. Ultimately this was a very influential decision, with many later leaders emplying Bruce's methods.
      There are examples everywhere, with evidence existing that points to the use of Brucian dance/rap tactics by Oliver Cromwell, Napoleon Bonapart, and even Vladimir Lenin.

    I profoundly respect and appreciate the precision of your maps. I'm intrigued to view old and ancient battlefields and envision the events unfolding on the landscape. The show "Battlefield Britain" was extraordinary in this regard and provided a format I'd love to see reproduced for historical battles worldwide. With your channel, the detail of the mapping and its accuracy with the terrain and landmarks for the era of the events covered are marvelous for cross-referencing side by side with modern maps and aerial/satellite imagery of the battlefield. I like too that you acknowledge when the exact location is not 100% known or agreed upon, but your attention to these aspects is wonderful for us inquisitive history geeks. Cheers!

      It would have made little difference, you don't know us Scots and Robert The Bruce was very rich and powerful before he became King and being a Nobel means he was taught Military Strategy from a young age plus his father fight in crusade with longshanks. Robert The Bruce is more than a Military match for Longshanks as we found out. The Bruce didn't just fight a couple battles, he also had to fight Comyns Clan and other Powerful Clans at home. What he achieved is nothing less than a Genius considering most would have given up.

    If you don’t mind me asking but can you do videos on the second Scottish war of independence and during the war king Robert the Bruce’s son and heir King David the second of Scotland would face the forces of John Balliols son Edward and also the forces of King Edward the 3rd of England and the Scots would be joined by the French and this war was taking place at the same time as the first phase of the Hundred Years’ War and I am interested in the war because at the battle of Halidon Hill which was an English victory a certain man named Alexander Bruce was killed and he is an illegitimate nephew of Robert the Bruce and he is an illegitimate nephew to Robert the Bruce because Alexander Bruce is the illegitimate son of Edward Bruce the second born son of Robert de brus 6th lord of Annandale but Alexander is also a very sneaky/traitorous person because he first fought for the Bruce royalists but then he joined the side of Edward Balliol and he was captured and nearly killed by the forces of the Bruce royalists however he then rejoined the side of the Bruce loyalists and he would be killed fighting for king David the second king of Scotland during the battle of Halidon Hill.

      Scotland videos tend to perform well. I'm definitely considering doing more.

      @@HistoryMarche Might only be because people are strung up with a misplaced Scots romanticism. The "ugly" truth of it is that Scotland came off a lot worse against the English despite often having a numerical advantage in most of the seminal battles of the period. Dupplin Moore, Halidon Hill and Neville's Cross aren't exactly easy for the Braveheart crowd to take especially when you consider how those battles took place. They weren't lopsided battles in England's favour, but rather battles in which the Scots held the numerical advantage yet were utterly defeated.
      I doubt you'd want to cover those.

      @@doug6500 I'm Scottish and I don't mind him covering our defeats too, it's more balanced. He covers Falkirk in another video where England won and Wallace was defeated.
      In amongst the big English victories you forgot about the most significant English victory, Flodden, but you also forgot significant Scottish victories at the Battle of Otterburn, the Battle of Sark...
      There are lots more on either side.
      Scotland is smaller than England and had a smaller economy so England could usually better fund their armies and have more professional soldiers and knights in their armies - so it's surprising that even in the largest battles between the countries, Scotland gave a very good showing with back and forth victories and defeats on either side.
