I'm doing live shows in Canada in 2024. Shows in Halifax, Annapolis, New Glasgow, Moncton, Montreal, Perth , Ottawa, Toronto, Fergus, Seaforth, Calgary, Vancouver and Victoria. Most of the details are here. Vancouver listings still to come, but I anticipate 12th July www.brucefummey.co.uk/shows.aspx
Bruce, I love your history lessons. Thank you for doing this. I have save all these videos to listen to them again. I have been interested in Scotland as long as I can remember.
Love your outtakes on Scottish history, which is so rich, diverse and complex, it's so difficult to present information on something that happened so long ago, where any kind of documentation is so severely lacking, but you at least give an amusing taste of things that happened. Those Normans really wrecked and reshaped Britain to make it what it is today.
Ok, I'm watching Who's Bruce Fummey. You are an awesome teller of tales. I love your humor (even if it's a bit🤭) I will order through your channel I order Amazon several times a month.!! I will ask others too!!! Keep up the great work!!!
King Robert was my 22x great uncle, and the man he killed, John, "The Red" Comyn, was my 20x great grandfather, from opposite side of the family, so I guess you can say family disfunction goes way back. Love your videos, Bruce, always very informative and interesting.
A few errors here. Wales was not an independent kingdom before Edward's conquest: it was a principality that owed homage and fealty to the English crown after Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffudd agreed the Treaty of Montgomery with Edward's father, Henry III, in 1267. It was a complex issue and difficult to compare directly with Edward's ambitions in Scotland, which was indeed an independent kingdom.
Bannockburn was a battle of the Barrons that wanted to control their turf, there ancestors came over with William the Conquerer. The hapless Scott’s and Saxon English were used as Cannon fodder to support their goals. Not unlike Edward III starting the hundred year war because he believed France was rightfully his. How many Scots perished fighting agains his cause on the side of the French? I wonder what England and Scotland might have been if Harold had won the Battle of Hastings.
If Carlsberg did Scottish history teachers. Where were the likes o` you back in `79, as ma `O` grade history results slid away under the U-bend `o life? :)
🤭😏😎 I think it's very appropriate, IMO, that when his end came, the Hammer of the Scots died, of all things, d y s e n t e r y. And near the Scottish border yet again, wanting to again get to Robert the Bruce. Imagine the faces of the Scottish Patriots, when told of this news. "The old bastard is dead." "Oh. You're taking the mickey. No. The likes of he never die." "No, I tell ya, lad. He died of the shites." "WHAAAAT?" (Doubles over laughing.)
That would be the thing that stinks about having a king. You pay for the wars he starts, you fight probably die, and the king gets the spoils. No wonder God was mad at Israel when they demanded a human king. No wonder he gave them Saul, even the great king David was rotten sinful taking a good man’s wife, Bethseba, and killing her husband. Jesus is said to be the rightful king of that throne. Could it be that the suffering King was who he said he was? That he alone, not the men who say they represent Him, is worthy. I greatly enjoy you storytelling Bruce. Maybe I’m a shameless recruiter, or maybe even the good kings leave wanting something better.
Another point. Edward was not 'war mongering' or invading France at this time. He was fighting Philip IV of France to recover his lands in Gascony and Ponthieu, which had been illegally annexed by the French king. This entire subject is far more complicated than a straightforward Goodies v Baddies narrative - however well that might go down with the public.
@@ScotlandHistoryTours But the Bruce means "a Bruce" and de means "from Bruce". Talking about it does anyone knows where is Bruce? I know it was in France but I have no idea where.
It was Brix near Cherbourg. As I say names change over time Robert de Brix gradually changed to Robert the Bruce www.google.co.uk/maps/place/50700+Brix,+France/@49.6290752,-1.9350958,8z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x480c9a93d63fbbdb:0x193f136f7b6f639e!8m2!3d49.545715!4d-1.579207

Bruce, I love your history lessons. Thank you for doing this. I have save all these videos to listen to them again. I have been interested in Scotland as long as I can remember.
Here are three ways you can help me make more video productions. Just click the link www.scotlandhistorytours.co.uk/support
I love these videos. Thanks, Bruce. I love your passion and the way you make history so interesting and funny.
I’m a big fan your story telling Bruce!! Always entertaining and I always learn something new about Scot history ✌️
This also inspired me to look up TV licences and I feel like I recall a similar objection over tea taxes in the US.
Oo! I’ve missed so many videos ! Gotta catch up!!
Please do!😄😄

Cheers, been up the monument never clicked why it was built where it is derrrrr!
Every day's a school day
Thanks , a great explanation
It's not easy to be a hero
You're welcome
You mean “Braveheart” was inaccurate? Thank goodness for your vdeos, how else would I get my Scottish history? Thank you.
Just a bit😜
Perhaps I was right about vehemently defending Bruce being a patriot after all !
I suppose we'll never really know
Real reincarnated king James of Scott's ....can prove look me up f.b

Have you done the BLACK DOUGLAS yet? If so, please gimme the link....PLEASE 😁
Not yet, but I know it's a must
Yesss!!!! black Douglas is my second favorite Scottish hero after William Wallace
There’s more wisdom in you’re words than people know!
Subjugating people then use them to subjugate others.
I’d love to chat
If Carlsberg did Scottish history teachers.
Where were the likes o` you back in `79, as ma `O` grade history results slid away under the U-bend `o life?
:)
😁😆😂
Fook man, it's Tae complex for me!!! 😅🤣😂

If the Bruce hadn't supported the Hammer it would've been tantamount to a death sentence, Hazelrigge who murdered Wallace's wife.
The Hammer. THE HAMMER ! Which side of the border are you fae?
Scotland
@@ScotlandHistoryTours He could call him the English Justinian if you prefer.

Aye, ALL history is more than goodies and baddies
Please can someone put me right..Did Robert the Bruce take the glory for William Wallace ?..im confused sorry.
It doesn't work like that
I am going to ask again, is it Robert the Bruce or Robert de Bruce?
It's both innit?
@@ScotlandHistoryTours of course not would you change your name for no reason?
Names change over time. St Claire becomes Sinclair, De Moravia becomes Murray, the list goes on

Merovingian Jew so was William Wallace
Are you speaking of Scotland or the US? We are about to get creamed in taxes...
I'm talking about history, not modern day politics
Real reincarnated king James of Scott's ....watch u mouth heresy is real changes..
Have you learned nothing from the story telling. Bruce doesn’t like bonnie prince Charlie. He’s just saying there’s a lot more to story.
No. He was no hero. Not in my estimation. He was a villian with good publicity.
