Thank-you so much. Marjorie was my 22nd great grandmother. I did know she was killed in a riding accident. It's interesting because most women knew not to ride when they were pregnant. I just found out my ancestry in Scotland. But I love how you have taken on these brief biographies. Great job!
Princess Majorie is my somthing great grandmother. My grandmother has one of princess Majorie original storage box ( I forget the proper name ) It has every thing about our blood line dating back to 1236AD I am a Geat and a decedent of the Gustavson clan from the house of Beowulf
Marjorie’s father, Robert I the Bruce of Scotland, is my 23rd great grandfather. My lineage goes through the Stewart’s to Dunbar’s to Fraser’s to MacKintosh’s, to MacBean’s, to a long line of the Bean family to my great grandmother Joan C Moos daughter of Dorthey Helen Bean. :)
I hoped to find someone who could make the link with the House of Stuart but I see it is brushed over again, despite Marjorie being the mother of the first Stewart king.
Your videos on Marjorie and Isabella have been great for my research. Could you possibly do similar ones for Elizabeth de Burgh, Mary And Christina Bruce please :) Great videos
Isabell of Mar was my 20th great grandmother. Which makes Robert the Bruce my 20th GGF. I am descended from the Isabell side. Thankful Haynes who was a descendant of the Stewart's, married my Grandfather, Capt. Jabez Puffer in the 1700's and I traced all the way back to Isabell and Robert. In another line, yes, longshanks was married to one of my other ancestors. So he, on that side, is also one of my 20th GGF's.
BTW Robert the Bruce (Robert Stewart’s grandfather) liberated Scotland from English rule. In 1328 he wrote the Scottish Declaration of Independence, which ended English hostilities and granted Scotland international recognition.
Rubbish. The Declaration of Arbroath is dated 6 April 1320. Also, Bruce has been King since 1306 and Scotland was never part of England. Bannockburn was fought against an invading army under Edward II of England. FGS, read a proper history book(s).
@@ronlisk1911 I mostly agree with your points, but the English King did have a strong de facto hold on Scotland by 1306. Edward I had forced John Comyn, a very able and powerful Scottish noble, out of the guardianship in 1304. Then, in 1305 the Scottish Parliament obediently chose an English nobleman (John of Brittany) as the sole Guardian of Scotland - John of B was entirely Edward I's man. Now, granted John of B was "advised" by a counsel of 22 Scottish nobles, so he didn't have full power, but Edward was well on the way to achieving what he had always aimed at - a united Britain under his sole rule. Edward came even closer to his goal the following year when Robert Bruce killed John Comyn on sacred ground during a parley. That enabled Edward I to take the heir of the Comyn family to England for "protection" and to declare Bruce an outlaw, thus effectively neutralising the two most powerful Scottish noble families. Unfortunately (for Edward), Bruce was able to escape his clutches by withdrawing into the wild gaelic islands where he found protection, help and recruits, before returning to civilized Scotland in February 1307. Edward I died in the process of getting together another campaign to chase after Bruce, leaving a much less capable heir...
@@ronlisk1911 I think it can also be argued that Bruce effectively put an end to any prospect of England again destabilizing Scottish politics as it had done since the death of Alexander III. He did this by destroying his Scottish opponents in very bloody fashion during 1307-1309. The slaughter of the Comyns and MacDougalls in particular left him in a far stronger position than John Balliol, the Red Comyn, or any other aspirant to the throne had been in preceding years. Together with his Gaelic connections, this meant Bruce had no real enemies at his back, and could commence the process of systematically reducing English strongholds in southern Scotland, as well as closing in on the key, the fortress at Stirling. Of course the English king could invade to stop this, but that was a very expensive and time-consuming process. Bruce could choose whether to give battle or withdraw beyond the Tay. He was thinking of withdrawing when Edward II's army approached to relieve Stirling in 1314, but realized that Edward's army was very poorly positioned and decided to smash him. Which he proceeded to do.
So that means we are family. My Dad is Robert the Bruce's twin. I kind you not. I am so so proud of our family history and where we come from. It's very empowering. I didn't know I was Scottish until about a year ago now I know where I get my legs just put it that way
What's up cuz, lol. That's cool!! I didn't know was Scottish until about 3 weeks ago. It was suprising to me find out i'm Scottish, (because now i'm a German Scottish Mexican, lol) but it was even more surprising whenI found out about our family history.
What's up cuz . nothing much. I'm Mexican German Scottish too but I'm also Cherokee Apache Norwegian. Spanish and I English and polish. Scottish for my dad side. But my dad's not Mexican my mom is my last name is my mom's maiden name. And my middle name is my dad's last name. It was my mom's choice. Sorry it took forever to get back to you. So would you are about our family history?. Cuz.😄
Wait you & I are also Irish . Our great Robert the Bruce, m a r j o r i e s father. His mother was Irish. And Scottish I believe but I know for a fact she was Irish in fact our great grandfather Robert the Bruce's his brother , our great uncle I forget his name was two or three years at the most was king of Ireland but this brother died in battle. Which ended his reign.
These little histories are great, and I understand the need for sorely-lacking graphics to depict such a bygone era. However, the color painting is of French origin by Jost Haller - representing a legend first invented around 1000AD titled "St Georges slaying the dragon". St. George lived around 300AD, about 1000 years before Marjorie. I do wonder who first cropped it and attributed it to Marjorie Bruce.
Please tell me why you feel it necessary to have the background music while speaking! It interferes with what you are saying and makes it hard to the listener to hear what you are saying! I had to stop the video after a minute.

Brief, you need more subscribers. Your this channel is so useful!
