Battle of Loudoun Hill, First War of Scottish Independence 1307 documentary

[@TeamLNE]

Outlaw King 'They want our land but they don't know our land' - I love that Bruce used the actual land to fight back as Scotland herself was fighting back. I love these video's my friend, they are great!

[@drew2324]

Except that he can't get the place names correct. Why ?

[@TeamLNE]

@drew2324 Mistakes are made, but I still enjoyed the video.

[@thethinker8805]

Even today the sight of the battle still evokes emotion

[@Embracehistoria]

This Battle was a challenge to film as getting the specific layout was tough. still enjoy!

[@NobleKorhedron]

Is this the same Percy family that eventually gave rise to Henry 'Hotspur' Percy, of the Wars of the Roses?

[@Embracehistoria]

Yep all part of the same family.

[@frasermanley9903]

I grew up in Darvel, used to go up Loudoun Hill all the time with it being only a mile outside of the village. Couldn't imagine trying to scale that volcano plug and still have the energy for combat

[@frasermanley9903]

Additionally, they have a Wallace memorial at the bottom, not a Bruce memorial. Which is kinda of a shame considering who fought the battle.

[@mrtophat12]

As a Loudoun American... Can you tell me more? I want to get in touch with my roots more.

[@drew2324]

Bit further than a mile

[@drew2324]

​@@frasermanley9903exactly, I've wondered that since it was done.

[@thecrusaderhistorian9820]

...wow...excellent video...

[@TheHypnogog]

I really enjoy your presentations. Those modded Total War graphics really add to your script, great job. Cool to see you're getting a good number of views for history, and this is history I did not know enough about!

[@ALav-he9gr]

Great video. Keep up the good work man :)

[@Steven-jn2cw]

An outstanding tactical victory for the Scottish despite the odds!

[@DrGanjameister]

Thank you for crediting Total War. I've seen so many channels and videos like yours, that use footage from this great series of games, and never once actually gives credit to the developers, nor the game itself. For this, you have my sub.

[@thehistoricalhierophant6019]

Its really cool that you made an entire video about this! I wish that I had given it more attention in my video but I thought it was already a little too long.

[@Embracehistoria]

The whole war itself is long so don't worry about :D

[@thehistoricalhierophant6019]

@@Embracehistoria Yeah, I just tried to summarize the main highlights. Still, at some point I might go Dupplin Moor or Halidon Hill eventually.

[@Stephen-gp8yi]

Great job well done!✌️

[@jaremymallister9004]

Great video buddy.

[@jtoneal3344]

superb work. Excellently done.

[@reticentsimmer]

Nice. I was searching for a Kings and Generals version of this battle, hence I found your vid. Could you tell me the name of the first song?

[@Embracehistoria]

I'm glad you enjoyed the content. The song is from medieval total war 2 Britannia dlc and is called "Dreams of Albion".

[@reticentsimmer]

@@Embracehistoria Thank you

[@ritchieblackmore2711]

SO PROUD TO LIVE VERY NEAR HERE...

[@ritchieblackmore2711]

For people that maybe don't know the actual battle site is across from Loudon hill at the windy wizzen as us Darvel folk call it and still probably holds artefacts from the good ole battle....

[@bjrnkristianvre7589]

Awesome video. Do you play a lot of total war

[@Embracehistoria]

Oh yes I've been playing them since the first Rome Total War game back in 2005. I don't really play them as much now as I mainly use them for these documentaries.

[@bjrnkristianvre7589]

@@Embracehistoria its a good use of the game tho. Have you tried the newest games?

[@Embracehistoria]

The latest one I've played is Total war throne of Britannia. I'd like to get three kingdoms, but, I need to upgrade my PC as it's getting old.

Szkocka armia była słabsza liczebnie ale dzięki lepszej taktyce odniosła świetne zwycięstwo,zniwelowała siłę ciężkiej angielskiej kawalerii tworząc przeszkody terenowe i używając długich pik w zwartej formacji.

Robert DeBrus and Aymer De Valance were actually related.

[@andreasoloansihotang122]

I think it's King of Scots....nor Scotland...am i correct?

[@Embracehistoria]

Both work and are mentioned in treaties written at the time.

Braveheart butchered this battle with scots running like maniacs against the english infantry, plus wearing kilts in a epoch when they shouldn't.

[@gagasyogaswara482]

The battles in Braveheart are the battle of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk.

[@jk28416]

The Scots have worn kilts for a lot longer than is accurately documented. Magnus the 3rd, viking king of Norway and colonial occupier of the western Scottish Isles is known as 'Magnus Bar fut' meaning Magnus the bare legged, Norse chroniclers directly indicate that 'he wore the kilt, as the Scots do' . This was in 1070 AD, so that is independent evidence of Scottish kilt wearing long before the 1600 date, and probably indicates a long history before this date.

[@TeamLNE]

Loudoun Hill didn’t feature in Braveheart but you can see an accurate depiction of the battle in Outlaw King. Even though it’s a relatively small battle compared to others it’s absolutely epic to watch! Enjoy. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
