Scotti is just the Latin name for the Gaels, who likely interbred with the Picts to form the post-Roman Scotland.

[@pieceofgosa]

Wallace's rebellion was (eventually) a success my dude. The Bruce beat the English at Bannockburn in 1314 (9 years after Wallace's death) & Scotland was (once again) an independent kingdom for 289 years. In 1603, James VI of Scotland ascended to the English throne as James I of England and that's the true story of how Scotland (technically) conquered England for 111 years (if we ignore the interregnum). That all ended when Queen Anne (the first actual Queen of Great Britain) died childless in 1714 & the English gave the crown of Great Britain to some Germans (the House of Hannover) who then (by right of patrilineal succession) passed it on to some more Germans (the House of Saxe-Coburg & Gotha). That requires a tad more explanation; so Queen Victoria's heir, Edward, despite being the Prince of Wales & heir to his mother's throne, was not considered a part of his mother's house as that is inherited from the father. In this case, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Technically the last Saxe-Coburg monarch was George V but he just changed the name to Windsor because of the First World War so I don't think that really counts. As all monarchs till Elizabeth II were male, she is our last real Saxe-Coburg monarch. When Charles ascends to the throne, he will carry the crown to his father's house which is ** drumroll ** yet more Germans !!! Yes that's right, the House of Glucksburg (technically the Anglo-German cadet branch House Mountbatten) will become the THIRD German dynastic monarchy of the UK.

[@MKDumas1981]

The Third Reich, if you will...

[@leonmcnair4615]

And even then, Elizabeth II and her parents, and her sons are all direct descendants to James VI & I, and even descendants of Robert II, nephew of Robert the Bruce (I believe, if I remember right) so I'd say even to our good king Robert. I think there is an argument to be had that the Scottish dynasty on the throne had never left. Even William of Orange and his wife Mary were Scottish descended - Mary being Scottish-born

[@nataliejones6816]

Technically, Elizabeth II can trace herself back to William the Bastard. Through “cadet” branches, sure, but it’s there. So she was what is modern day French if we’re going off ancestors.

[@pieceofgosa]

@@nataliejones6816 If I'm being totally honest myself, Robert the Bruce isn't exactly descended from the Pictish kings. That man was Norman, or at least a few generations descended from the Normans.

7:34 The “grill of sheep teeth” is a reference to his dentures being made of animal teeth, dead people and slaves if they owned slaves. Washington HATED wearing them because, unlike modern dentures where the dentist can easily adjust them to make it fit in your mouth, his dentures were very *very* uncomfortable and he absolutely hated them, in fact, Washington perfected to not wear them and keep his mouth shut but when he did need them, they were extremely uncomfortable. A full set of his dentures, along with the keys to The Bastille, are in Washington’s Mount Vernon and you can observe them right now if you get tickets to go inside the Washington Estate.

Fun fact about Scots Gaelic and Irish Gaelige, the only real difference between the two is the pronunciation between words. Take the Irish Gaelige word for Milk, bainne (pronounced bawn-yah).

inaccuracies in braveheart is the understatement of the century. The most hilarious offense might be the very title cause "braveheart" was the title of Robert the Bruce who is at best a sidecharacter in the movie. The worst impact is that scottish nationlist movements use some atrocities the english committed in the movie as argument to seperate from england today....the sad part is those atrocities were 100% made up by Mel Gibson and have no factual basis in history at all

[@leonmcnair4615]

yeah... that second paragraph? Utter trivial falsehoods. Nothing in the Braveheart movie is "used" as an argument to separate from England today, such utter bullshit propagandistic nonsense -- if this guys says the movie is bullshit inaccurate, believe me, 100,000 other Scots have said it before him. Secondly, not even the mention of Mel gibson is accurate, since it was Randall Wallace who wrote the script, not Mel gibson the actor. In actual fact, Mel gibson read the historical book William Wallace by Andrew Fischer leading up to his role, so I think it would be erooneous to just spout nonsense as if he knew nothing about the true events and just made everything up... besides, the writer, Randall Wallace was INSPIRED by his Scottish descendant connections (hence the surname) and came across the well-known 15th century poem by Blind Harry. Yes folks, this was not just some bullshit hollywood concocted to shit up a true story -- it was deliberately, unashamedly, based on the very 15th century play Funny, noone kicks up a fuss when we see Shakespeare's shitty take of Macbeth, huh? guys like the above just like shitting on stuff they haven't really thought long and hard about, just like being on the bandwagon and being taken for a ride - even if he already knew it was a poetic cinematic adaption. Alas, I digress... England has done far more, far worse, in the union itself to not even bother going into ancient history like this guy purports happens. Most recent examples I hear you ask? How about fuckin' Boris being PM - who the Scottish people were PROMISED would never happen if we voted NO to Independence. Not enough for you? How about the promise of staying in the European Union by the Better Together campaign if we voted NO to independence. Still not good enough? How about the fuckin' consequences of Brexit, when the Scottish people voted 63% to reject Brexit - higher than the NO vote to independence at 55% - and still we get lumbered. Still more I hear you ask?? Okay... how about these; The UK government deciding it can BLOCK Scottish government matters Devolved vs Reserved matters. How would you like your drugs misuse policies and crime prevention strategies to be rejected and taken over by another country's government... who then uses them against you to say how much your country is failing at prevention measures? Taking on another country's war-debt. Once Scotland and England formed together, Scotland in 1707 accrued England's National debt of £50 million! Why was that? Because England decided it wanted to be a cunt to everyone and start wars against the Dutch, against the germans, against the French, and against the Spaniards for the access of the succession of the crown... Scotland also had to share soldiers FUCK THE TORY MARGARET THATCHER. JUST FUCK HER (that's all that needs said about her contributions against Scotland as UK PM) Being forced to go in to the Iraqi war of the 2000s despite Scotland's vehement opposition against it There is soooo much more to add, but I would like to believe you all understand that Scotland doesn't need to account for Braveheart, like this tosser wants to make you believe... atrocities have been made tenfold in the Union, and even just before it (examples glen coe massacre, darian scheme william's banning of Scottish trade suffocating already-impoverished Scots, William Laud and his English impositions against Scotland in the national Church, Henry V's rough wooing, John Hardying's fabricated cartographic maps in the 14th century that inspired countless English kings to set out to try and conquer Scotland - destroying countless livelihoods and towns on flames as a result, and again more)

They just need to find someway to get the money they barely survived on from somewhere else while looking for other job and the new housing that compares to that which they barely held onto in the first place, not to mention the money for the actual move as well. Simple things. But they got their freedom at least.

It's true that Washington had slaves but it's worth noting that his slaves not only reported him to be a very kind master.

[@Silhouex]

@@patrickhector Rather irrelevant though when you expand your view point to all of human history. It doesn't make it ok but slavery was unfortunately a part of the past wherever you may go in whatever time. So the reality is either everyone was terrible or everyone was doing what they thought was normal. George did own slaves but he's also one of the people who paved the way for slavery to be abolished. We could say that everyone born before the abolishing of slavery was guilty of slavery (except the slaves) as people either had slaves or would if they could afford them. Even blacks in Africa enslaved each other. It's regrettable that Washington had slaves but it doesn't reduce the great deeds he did. I'm sure there are things about us that others will be disgusted by in the future. Pollution? I mean pollution is basically an assault on the youth and the unborn. Will that be enough for the future to spit on us as a whole? Will they burn our great deeds because we were not perfect?

As a Brit we lost because we could not supply our army properly. You are right he lost most battles but was a strategic genius. The French won America 🇺🇸 by stretching the Royal Navy too far and Washington strangled us on land

Just a quick comment, fun little fact about President's Day and good ol' George is that it isn't actually on his birthday, though we often recognize and celebrate it as such. Washington's true birthday was on the 22nd of February, and is often a smaller, lesser known holiday to many Americans.

Vessel Album: Holding On To You Blurry face Album: Message man (really fun pocket in this one) Trench Album: Levitate Neon gravestones Morph Pet Cheetah Scaled and Icy album: The outside Redecorate

Yo Knox just lettin you know an hour after this went up Scru Face Jean dropped a notice that he got to play Mansa Musa in an ERB that drops tomorrow so BRAND NEW ERB HYPE MERE MOMENTS AFTER A NEW ERB REACTION anyway I can't wait to see that

[@KnoxHill]

I have zero interest in supporting Scru. I don’t like nor trust him and the way he moves behind the scenes. It’s a real shame ERB picked him because I probably won’t be reacting to it. And that’s just me keeping it 💯 with you

[@nerddwarf]

"Knox is doing ERB? Already? OH SHIT! It's Friday!"

[@LizShide]

Have that shirt....it rocks #KnoxNation 4LIFE

[@henryblake9183]

Knox is one of the few Americans who actually recognises the significant factor of Britain having more important things to deal with during the American war of independence

[@DJOrbitDecker]

Still gotta recommend the Fredrick Douglas vs Thomas Jefferson Battle, one of the top tier ones as well

[@henrytawnn8694]

One of my favorites.

[@InsertNameHereBoi]

17:00 I'm probably not the first person to point this out, but it sounds like you said "omnipotent" when you meant to say "impotent"

[@hendrikusscherphof7348]

They did have ´dentists´ around back then. Dentures did exist, but were generally only affordable for the wealthy. And lacking our modern materials, they were usually made with teeth salvaged from dead animals (I believe at times human teeth as well)

[@KidraBlade]

Seriously Epic Lloyds Dis raps for hire! He takes it to 11!

[@henrytawnn8694]

I've been wondering if Knox will check those out. I watched them all and they're so good. I wish he kept doing them.

[@Short_Round1999]

One fact I don’t think many people know is that GW was a British Officer before being the general of the US army and later the first president

I know this video is over a year old but I want to just go ahead and throw this out there. One known reason redcoats wore red was to better hide bloodstains on their soldiers clothing in order to keep morale higher than it would be with troops in super bloody clothing, since bloody clothing would represent weakness (literal weakness because that means the soldier has most likely been shot and thus a much easier target). I learned this at some point in school and it's one of few things I never forgot.

[@dingdong9884]

Thank you!!

[@sanc6284]

Now you have to do Mansa Musa vs Bezos

[@percyj2463]

Dax’s The Next Rap God 2 is out man, and by the gods, it is incredible.

[@henrytawnn8694]

And I will now watch it right after this video. Thank you.

[@OneSmallPerson]

New ERB drops tomorrow too

[@mikemath9508]

almost half an hour long for one of the shortest battles? man I can't stick around for that.

[@wilsonmcmahonatgmail]

You should react to "the star spangled banner as you've never heard it "

[@retroclub4182]

Hey Knox I found your channel again

[@Historicutuber]

I really like this battle. Its got a lot of charm

[@BigLIII22]

Alda Gu Brath translates to Scotland Forever and in history it was used in a similar way to Erin Go Bragh which translates to Ireland Forever basically terms for independence from England also fun fact Washington’s frendly fire incident is one of the reasons the French and Indian War started

[@nillerwilcken1717]

Hey knox another boss reaction🔥 i would love if you would react to sik world with 7 years to talk about mental health 🔥🔥
