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.
@@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.
"We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honour but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life." - Robert the Bruce, King of Scots Every time a spider fell, it rose to rise again. To cast the web that would decide the fate of it's foe. England simply couldn't fully crush the fighting spirit of the Scots
Absolutely well produted, and very interesting to get to know these lesser known events before the battle of Bannockburn. Thanks for sharing it wtih us.
amazing, the Loch in Irvine is where my primary school is located (the land was drained in the 1600s) and now I live in Glasgow 2 seconds away from the Battle of Langside!
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!
Edward longshanks was in his later years in this campaign. If he was younger he wil be able to defeat scttish warriors. But Scottish warriors faced edward and English with their courage and determination. Brilliant doc. Historymarche always give us beyond hope. Animatons are getting better and better. One of my fav channels and my top 3 channels list in RUclips. Highly recommended their docs. Huge fan of you from Sri Lanka ❤️.
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.
On site you can see the 'funnel' in the land the English were guided towards and when there's been a drought the pit lines and holes dug for the cavalry can still be seen, it's cool 😎
I love this channel I learn a lot every time I watch, no matter how much I think I "know" a battle, your channel reminds me that I know nothing and I like that 😆
These events are also depicted in Outlaw King, but as with any historical movie there are some inaccuracies...still pretty cool to watch this having watched that.

I kept seeing this channel as an ad on other animated history RUclips channels like "The Armchair Historian". And I'd say that ad wasn't lying, this channel can make pretty good animated history videos as well, keep up the good work lads 👍

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.

I worked in Darvel, the town where this hill is located just outside of, and practically passed this battle site on a daily basis.
Wow
Robert the Bruce with an excellent use of terrain/the area around him to counter his enemies strongpoints.
Very clever.
Im from, and currently am 20 mins from this place, the entire west coast and miles inland is just hills and hills and hills
I find it very cool that no matter how many defeats the Scots received, and Robert personally, he kept fighting.
Well ofc! He was on the defense and he knows how to use the Terrain. Plus, the English army outnumbers them massively!
Have to. Hes heavily outnumbered and outmached. Straight up conventional battle, the scots will lose.
He was fortunate Edward I died and was replaced by his pansy son with his own problems.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the support!
I can't emphasize how much I love this channel. Thanks for putting this quality content out guys. Definitely will become a new supporter
Best narrator in this space. Thanks for all edutainment over the years.

I’ve been waiting for this for a couple weeks now! So grateful for HistoryMarche 🎉

Thanks as always for another year of fascinating battles!
Hopefully more Hannibal next year?
They really need to finish it .. getting a bit tiresome now ..

I have been absolutely blown away by the Hannibal stuff...i had no idea how amazing he was and i consider him the greatest General of all time.
Great job 👍
