Malcolm Canmore, The Scottish King Who Changed Everything

- Опубликовано: 24 апр 2020
- In some ways MALCOLM CANMORE was the Scottish king who changed things more than any other Bruce Fummey, of Scotland History Tours, traces the path of King Malcolm III of Scotland to the throne. The coronation at scone of Malcom Canmore is one of the stories from Scotland's past that has been misunderstood. Mainly because of Shakespeare's unfair portrayal of Macbeth.

is one of those Scottish history tour guides who brings you tales from Scotland's history, events from key dates in Scotland's history and historic days out in Scotland. Here Bruce tells a tale from Scotland's past about one of the kings that changed Scotland forever. After that he gives you some advice about planning an historic day out in Scotland that you'll remember as one of your historic days out in Scotland. OK, is that too cheesy?
Scottish history tour guides like Bruce can help you plan a day out in Scotland as well as learn about Scottish history. Here he gives some historical places to visit in Scotland including visits to Scone Palace Perth Scotland, the Historic Environment Scotland site Dunkeld Cathedral and Dunsinnane Hill for Macbeth's hill fort.

Scotland History Tours is here for people who want to learn about Scottish history and get ideas for Scottish history tours. I try to make videos which tell you tales from Scotland's past and give you information about key dates in Scottish history and historical places to visit in Scotland. Not all videos are tales from Scotland's history, some of them are about men from Scotland's past or women from Scotland's past. Basically the people who made Scotland. From April 2020 onward I've tried to give ideas for historic days out in Scotland. Essentially these are days out in Scotland for adults who are interested in historical places to visit in Scotland.
As one of Scotland history tour guides people ask: Help me plan a Scottish holiday, or help me plan a Scottish vacation of your from the US. So from April 2020 I've tried to give a bit of history, but some places of interest in Scotland as well.
Here are three ways you can help me make more video productions. Just click the link www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/support
17th century celebrity scribbler .. best line I have heard in a long time. Loving these.
Inventor of the ballpoint pen wasn't he?
Agreed
Must write that down....never can find that pen when I need it....happens when I, m on the phone too....
Was reading your comment literally as he said it 😅🤣
Malcolm ll is my 34x grandfather, love these videos
So, you are probably 35th cousin to King Charles III.
Love watching and listening to your History Bruce! Thanks you fo all you do. one Day I will be back and we can take a day of History with you again.
Well done Bruce! Look forward to the next video, and our next trip to Scotland of course.
I'll see you there
Nicely done Bruce, looking forward to the next episodes.
Last fall after a couple DNA tests, I discovered that I have a rich Scottish heritage on my (new to me) paternal side. Like much of Europe I share James IV as my 14th great grandfather, etc. Anyway, your videos are saving my life right now, gifting me with a grounding in Scots history that I never knew I needed before last fall. I am so grateful to you for this! And I love the way you bring the history to life... Many thanks!
Hey Mary Jean. I'm so glad the videos help. Stay safe
Good luck with your endeavours, Mary Jean, heartily recommend the King in the North by Max Adam's, a riveting retelling of the life of Saint / King Oswald ,and all the ebb and flow of life and death in dark age Britain...best wishes from the wirral,site of the great battle of Brunanburh/Bromborough 937AD,Wirral,namechecked albeit in Welsh in the medieval poem of sir Gawain and the green knight..
He was associated with House of Stuart, I think? Shakespeare wrote in Banquo to represent the Stuarts. James saw himself as a descendent of Banquo. I'm a descendent of Malcolm, and my mom's family is Stuart, but we're not from James. We're first cousins to Queen Mary, though!
That was an intense and sad story 😟. I would be out enjoying the beauty of the country and exploring.
Thank you as always I truly enjoy all of your stories.
🌹🦋❤️☮️🇺🇸
Have to see the castle, it's on my list!
I've been watching and enjoying your videos chronologically. I must say that this is my favorite so far. Thanks.
That was the first one I did when COVID started and I decided to do them properly. 25th April 2020. The quality should start improving now
Thank you for the video! You really bring history to life!
Another interesting moment in our rich and eventful history. Why more isn't made of it particularly in schools astonishes me! Look forward to your next jaunt/tale.
It strikes me as a key turning point in Scottish history. From the old Celtic ways to a court with an Anglo Saxon queen, whos sons were brought up in Norman courts before becoming kings themselves.
I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
I felt like a kid again :)
Youre great at comedy - but you can also tell an awesome campfire story*****
Malcolm Canmore is my 30th great grandfather (: I'm sure he has thousands of grandchildren by now... but I think it's fun, nonetheless! Thank you for sharing!
Best wishes to Malcolm's everywhere....
@@eamonnclabby7067 I approve this comment 😂😂
Yay im related to the mccallums/ malcoms
Me too! Are you from David I?
Alexander has been a family name for almost 1000 years. My grandpa's middle name was Alexander. It's been given every generation or every other generation all the way back to Malcolm and Margaret! It's from Eastern Europe.
Loved this. And shared with my Macbeth-loving family visiting Scotland soon.
Yay
as a Pole, who has never been to Scotland and knows almost nothing about it's history, I absolutely loved the video. The way you tell the story is brilliant. Definitely not what i expected nor what I was looking for, but i have a feeling that soon i may know much more about your country, thanks to You.
Awesome, thank you!
‘Lemme tell ya a story” my grandad was first generation American Scots. Our family comes from poor, displaced Scots who probably helped the South in the civil war, but My granddad said that, ah Mr. Fumey, thank you for that memory.
Honestly binge watching your viddies recently. Such interesting history and great storytelling.
Glad you like them!
Following your advice and watching this before returning to your post on Mc Beth...cheers / slainte...
Thank you for this. It was very eye opening...
I am a direct descendant of Malcolm Canmore III & Saint Margaret. They are my 31st great-grandparents.
What an absolutely fantastic history video! Well done, Bruce :)
Thank you
Malcolm is my 27th great-grandfather.
Mine, as well
Wonderful video
Thanks for your support
Ancestors of mine. 😁👍
Love the way you tell this story.and the lil 🤣
"lemme tell ya a story" YAAAY lol. wow that's like an Odyssey amount of time damn
Kick ass you're showing another one of my granddad's awesome. Can you do one about my grandad Eochaidh Buidhe‽ I can't wait till one of these days I can come to Scotland and see what my ancestors saw.
Is this your first video Bruce? I am leading a tour this September from the 4th to the 8th. Doug
Aye, this is where it properly started. What a ride!
That story brought history to life
You look as though you have a beautiful part of Scotland as your garden. 🌞
I'm a very lucky man
@@ScotlandHistoryTours You are indeed 🌞
To the west of the city of Calgary, Alberta Canada is the town of Canmore(just outside Banff National Park) and to the east of Calgary is the town of Strathmore. It's a weird old world.
Not really. North America is full of Scottish names and connections. I need to make it to Canada to tell some stories
Fummey versus Shakespeare! The truth will out...thank you.
😂 There's a follow up video ruclips.net/video/_kvgApCyyts/видео.html
@@ScotlandHistoryTours On my way...
I'm a Malcolm of Briarywells Langholm. Don't know what happened 1860s to 1940s. The was Nana and Gaga at Sanquar and Barncleugh Dumfries.
Anyone fill the gap ?
Interesting. I'm directly descended from 3 different Native American tribes, but also directly descended from Malcolm III and St Margaret (through their daughter, Maud). The MacBeth's are our cousins, and were at the time Duncan was killed. We all get along just fine now.
Interestingly the Cherokee nation sent help to my ancestors in Donegall and Derry at the height of the great famine....peace and love from the wirral....E
St. Margaret is my favorite Queen.
My ancestor is David I! Margaret was the descendent of King Alfred and (believed by scholars, extremely likely) Saints Yuroslav, Vladimir the Great, and Olga of Kiev. Her grandmother was married to King Olof's daughter, so you have that too!
We have a bunch of Saints in our family background, and our folks have great family values, so we have people looking out for us!
Cousin of mine
Yea me too
Live in Birnam, loved the video, great to add on places to visit.
I'll send everyone round for a cup of tea
CNN for the dark ages....

Saved for later 😊
Hi Bruce. Actually, I am astounded at how much The Bard got right. Okay, so Malcolm Canmore was only nine; and so on and so on. But wasn't Shakespeare's intention to write about a hero with many great attributes whose unfortunate flaw was his overwhelming ambition?
So much of what you've filled in about history, slots in well with the play's plot.
I think a really interesting story would be the one about Luluch! (Autocorrect turned that into "Lunch" 🤭and perhaps that isn't too far off, either...)
Thank you for the videos. I enjoy every single one.
Can't help seeing the "Three Witches' Tearoom" as also a "Tear 'oom". 😥 Don't believe the Weird Women, King!
Aye we'll have to agree to disagree on the accuracy of Shakespeare. Lulach would be a good story, but source information will be scarce
@@ScotlandHistoryTours I understand that there isn't much to go on.
The story would need to be a great deal of "fan fiction" which is what Shakespeare did with his version of "Macbeth" and the characters of Duncan, the Macbeths and Malcolm.
But if the Coen brothers, or someone like that could pick up on Luluch, a stepson of Macbeth, I think it could be so fascinating.
A stepson... A stepfather who had killed a previous king... He reigned for a few months only... And he was called "Luluch" - not Duncan or Robert or Bruce. Mmm. Definitely bases for a story with lots of twists and issues.
My wife is a relative of Duncan 1 KOS
Malcolm Canmore aka Malcolm Big Head, go on, give us a story about that.
Us three sisters found out my Dad was dead. I was 4 month old sis was less than 1 month.
Finally someone tells the truth about shakespeare! Thanks great videos
@🏴Scotland History Tours w/ Bruce Fummey
هو مشوق اعرف عن هداك الزلمة الشخصية الدور كانمور يا بروس . كانه يحسس هو إتنسى شخصية دور في التاريخية الاسكتلندية شو رأيك في هاد ؟
Interesting to know about this Canmore character Bruce
Feels as if he were a forgotten character in Scottish History
What do you think 🤔 about that ?
Oh I think he's remembered
THANKS GREAT WORK......... DES CREAN.. BELFAST... IRELAND
Thanks for watching!
Hugh de Cadella (kaledour) is my direct grandfather my mothers last name is Cordell
Another great video Bruce. I wonder if you are planning another video about Malcolm Canmore?
You see I was brought up in North Northumberland and went to school at Alnwick, where we had sports fields a mile out of the town (aye we had to run there play a game of football or rugby and run back).
So why is that relevant to Scottish History? The place was Malcolm's Cross aye that's right the monument marking the death place of Malcolm III (Canmore) at the battle of Alnwick 13 Nov 1093. Despite it being a local landmark, etc I don't actually know very much more than this about the battle and the impact the death of Malcolm III and his son Edward had on Scotland at the time. I'm sure there's a story here that doesn't involve my tale of running to and from the sports fields for PE lessons in the early 1980s. Not something they do now as the school is at the other end of the town & they no longer have a psycho long-distance runner for a PE teacher who liked the wee jog. ;-)
😂
My mom's a Stuart! She's the direct line to Malcolm.
🙏👏👏👏
😁
That'll give us Scots-Aussies something else to think about on ANZAC Day.
Anyone here from the Macbeth video?
My real name 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Need your help mate think I’m a lost king. My name is Michael James Noli Greathead. Descended from Malcolm III.
55 year old fat man - I resemble that remark! Such beautiful countryside, and scones too. Plus some fascinating history too! Never liked Shakespeare...
57 last week😏
"TIT" 😂 so scottish. was the fort beside the tay heading into Perth, not on kinnoul Hill? I've seen that there are two forts is that the other one?
Thanks steve
Aye, but at the time of the first lockdown it was the best picture I could find online. As I'm fae Perth I like that view too
So Malcolm was just another Scottish king who needed an English army to make it happen, but also used an English propagandist who may have written a semi fictional account based on this incident, where MacBeth is definitely the villain of the tale. Whether the English scribbler as you called him actually wrote the piece, or simply took credit for it is much debated, but at least this tale helped keep the story alive around the world.
Malcolm III of Scotland---Born: March 26, 1031, Kingdom of Scotland
Died: November 13, 1093, Alnwick, United Kingdom.
William Shakespeare---Born: April 1564, Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom
Died: April 23, 1616, Stratford upon Avon, United Kingdom.
How could King Malcolm III use an English propagandist who lived 500 years after him?
Malcolm III was married to Saint Margaret of Scotland (House of Wessex), granddaughter of Edward II "Ironside", King of England.
Edward II was a half brother of Edward The Confessor, so things stayed in the family.
The youngest daughter of Malcolm III and Margaret of Scotland, Mary of Scotland Dunkeld, is a direct ancestor of mine through the House of Boulogne, the House of Blois, the House of Alsace, and the House of Brabant.
whys there a black guys face in the thumb nail lmao
It's the presenter ya fanny
@@ScotlandHistoryTours it comes off as if it’s supposed to be the king
