William Wallace & Robert The Bruce: The Legends of Medieval Scotland | Celtic Legend | Chronicle

[@retrosonghits]

Proud of my Scottish heritage. Came from Clan MacKenzie whose Chief Iian MacKenzie led 500 MacKenzie's in the Battle of Bannockburn defeating the English. Love history and how fierce and strong a people the Scots were and are. Had read where the Vikings who were feared and brutal were warned to never go sailing their longboats along the shores of Scotland because they were crazier than them. That made me feel even prouder.

It is not known if he did or not...only that there is no proof of it. Sir William Wallace was a Minor Noble (similar to Upper Middle Class today). It would have been highly unusual for a Knight of his stature in society to be unmarried as this was basically expected of Nobility in his time. In addition, anyone claiming kinship with him for the 100 years after he was martyred would have been putting their own lives at risk.

Robert the Bruce was of French Norman descent !! Typical Scots Fake History to pretend he was Scottish..!

[@historyacademy]

Robert the Bruce was a murdering oath breaker who was excommunicated by the Pope because he was such an evil man. He murdered a rival on church with his bare hands. He is not a hero, he is a murder. William Wallace deserves the title hero or Braveheart. Robert the Bruce was a power hungry murderer. Look it up!

[@SpectralTalent]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!! King Robert Bruce of Scotts was my 9th great grandfather. As a descendant, I assure you there is great debate in my family. Many do not want to claim the fact that a relative would do a murder on sacred ground. (Many in my family are PRUDES!!!) I am here to say religiously, spiritually, due to that happening,....there has been a serious struggle religiously, spiritually in the further generations after my grandfather. Since knowing all I have learned, I have done much question asking and receiving answers in best ways that were/are available. Most of the answers have come through religious and spiritual ways. Seems because of the murder on sacred ground a curse(?) may have been afflicted on the generations afterward. I myself do not claim to be anything except a woman, a mother, a sibling, a wife,....who has amazingly broke molds of this. Broke some sort of chain that has had my family bound. Knowledge is key. Faith is key. Acceptance is key. Also not settling is key. I am proud too be a descendant of King Robert Bruce of Scotts!!! I may not be rich, I may not be well liked by many that I come across, yet I can assure you that the knowledge King Robert Bruce of Scotts had with what little amount he had to work with is and has been well and alive enough to break whatever has bound generations of my family. Thank you so very much for this!!! Has me greatly humbled in my current time and situation and ready to carry on further and to not give up!!!! When molds and chains are broken,...it truly gets a bit squirrely and worth every bit of it. :)

Hollywood is more about entertainment than education. I think some people are watching movies for the wrong reasons. Documentaries are what's for education. History books are educational and still are the best source of information for history. So if you're looking for history to learn then books should be your number one source. Hollywood is mainly for entertainment. So historical accuracy will never be 100%. Braveheart was fun but highly inaccurate. Outlaw King was more accurate but still inaccurate and less fun but not bad. Other movies I have seen like Kingdom of Heaven, Spartacus, Gladiator, Julia's Caesar, 300, Titanic, western movies, and pretty much any historical movie. Movies need story so they focus more on a story and story comes before accuracy and the creators will sacrifice accuracy for an engaging storyline. Even battle scenes in movies are inaccurate as they have people charging into battle but this is done for entertainment as it makes for a good scene when in reality they fought in formations. Video games are guilty of this too but they're not ridiculed for it like hollywood is. In video games I can cut down men in full armour without a problem, but it is fun and I am cutting down 100's of guys. So it is impossible to have 100% accuracy in a movie setting as they're trying to have a story so these characters need to be constantly doing stuff on a screen. It's not that you can't learn anything from a movie, you may have learnt about the Scottish war of independence from braveheart but you shouldn't be relying on movies to teach you history. It means dig deeper and learn more. I played Assassin's Creed II and didn't know about Medici family or Borgias and then I began researching. So while they're not educational, they can be gateways to learning more. So just don't expect "real history" from movies. If you don't read books and complain about accuracy then it's hypocritical. Libraries still exist so you can get books to read freely. Otherwise you can buy books or get them in digital or audio format. Hollywood isn't able to give precise details of history. Documentaries do better but even they aren't always accurate either and have to jam things into a short amount of time. Criticism is fine but if you hate hollywood for lack of accuracy, then you are not going to enjoy movies at all. Books also aren't 100% accurate as it depends on the research and sources the historian used. Older books may have outdated information as history is something that is based on sources and if we find new information on something, then it makes older information irrelevant. Like when the USSR dissolved the soviet archives were opened and many historians went to gain access and find out what was in the archives. So just see hollywood as what it is, entertainment. Don't get your hopes up high when they do movies on historical events. It's more about narrative in movies.

[@bluenose8442]

You don’t watch a movie for historical accuracy. The general theme of it was OK but go study history and not think entertainment is accurate history. Sick of people whingeing on and on about criticising Hollywood, for God’s sake, it’s a movie. You may as well say Jurassic Park got the T-Rex wrong.

[@normbograham]

William Wallace, took his men across the River Forth, and did not send his men across the bridge. He was there before Cressingham, because the other scots were debating the capitulation at Irvine, so, that might literally fuel the conspiracy theorist that the capitulation at Irvine was a delay tactic, and there was no intent to follow it. Then William Wallace and Morray, had all the time in the world to prepare. And Creshingham was so confident he was going to win, he made the bad decision to funnel his men across the bridge, and lead them. But as others have commented, where did that Battle smarts come from? Morray? Then they talked and had a plan, while Wallace was leading Cressingham to Stirling Bridge.

My family has been in the USA since the 1700's. What i find so i interesting also is the contribution of the Scottish in America and without them, we may not have had such a great country. The Scottish (who brought guerilla warfare to America) were placed between the settlers and the Indians to protect the settlers and fight off the Indians. And its also pretty cool how much of our military in the USA started with the Scottish immigrants, and maybe that's why military branches have bagpipes in parades. I'm proud of my Scottish ancestry and their contributions for the USA. Also, notice how many names of towns and citys are Scottish names, like Aberdeen, Fife, etc.

Good documentary marred by a several egregious errors of fact. Robert the Bruce was not a claimant in the Great Cause, that was his grandfather and the Scottish nobles did not appoint Edward 1 of England as the ruler of Scotland, they appointed him as arbiter in the Great Cause and he assumed the role of overlord in order to grant the lands to the appointed king, John Balliol. Hugh de Cressingham was not the governor of Stirling castle, that was Philip de Mowbray. Edward II's wife and daughter were not taken prisoner after the battle, they weren't even present. I suspect that when they said that James IV was intensely interested in artillery they were actually thinking of his grandfather James II who was actually killed by the bursting of a cannon. It's as though they'd read a book of Scottish history a few years ago and then on the day they just busked it from memory.

It is no coincidence that these people inhabit stagnant cultures. This is evidence of identity theft,as can be seen in our day by nonBlack people imitating mimicking and pretending and cosplaying a particular group of Black people called Israelites. What has been hidden from view by white supremacists and their cousins is the fact that nonBlack people are literally pretending to be human IE Black people. G. Higgins and others before the white supremacist takeover of so-called western scholarship made it plain that the Israelites are responsible for everything associated with civilization and culture throughout history everywhere civilization and culture are found. As an historian who has had the privilege to study history from primary sources available to serious academics I am fascinated by the fact that a group of people who have been going around the world eating raping murdering robbing torturing genociding enslaving and colonizing innocent people would think that their ancestors were civilized and that they therefore are civilized. The psycho pathology of so-called non-black people IMO is of demonic nature. To believe that nonBlack people are the main characters on a Black planet is ludicrous when we consider that nonBlack people have no known origins.

@@wor53lg50what’s the difference between Gaelic and Celtic?

[@wor53lg50]

@@fredpickels6925 they're the same thing Why?...you do know that Gaelic Scots are basically Irish settlers yes, thats why the Picts was Brythonic Celts..they're two different languages although, both would still understand each other enough to get by, The Closest to Brythonic would be modern welsh(even though its classed modern welsh now and changed alot from its original form just like modern Irish Gaelic has) that the English and Scots all spoke once Brythonic that is..

John Kennedy of Dunure was made chief of his name and made the baillie of Carrick after supporting King Robert the Bruce in the Scottish Wars of Independence... that means you're no relation.

[@johni5355]

As soon as it mentioned Wallace was born in 'Elderslie' it was time to switch off. He was born in Ellerslie, which was a small hamlet near Kilmarnock that no longer exists, and his origins now falsely attributed to Elderslie because it simply sounded like it. He campaigned in and around Ellerslie, attacked the English troops in the ancient burghs of Ayr and Irvine (right next to Ellerslie, incidentally), and all his family connections were also from around Ayrshire. Anyone who wants the bona fide Wallace story should read Dr Mckay's biography of him. All the true facts are there. To still claim the Elderslie connection shows that this is truly amateur hour and just as fictitious as the Mel Gibson film, as brilliant as that was.

[@StevenConstantine-fw2kn]

I am a great fan of history trying to get the facts straight, a great deal of research is involved, I went to school without internet and having to read books and listening to so called scholars, example the first thanks giving was a bunch of bullshit, so went to history class learning nothing and of all that wasted TIME

Such a shame that history makes way for a building site of houses. The people who plan passed building plans, this would have encroached onto Culloden. This was objected too by people here and across the world with petitions signed and delivered. I haven’t seen any buildings yet but I don’t know what is happening about it. To me and others it would be really wrong to build on such a sight.

I've met a few descendants of Wallace living in America today. Mild mannered, tall, named for him, but wouldn't be able to lead a war.

[@ahnraemenkhera7451]

I really wish Someone would clarify what is meant by the name “The.” Is it short for Theodore or Theobald (often pronounced “Tibbald”)? It’s something I come across often, to my annoyance. Whenever people today narrate “histories” they get on my nerves referring to “The O’Reilly,” for instance, as if it’s a manner of addressing someone with no other name. “The” (pronounced “Thee,” as in the words “theory” or “throne”) imo, is obviously a brevitive of the name “Theo.” But due to grammar being no longer of interest as a subject, mispronunciation of just about everything goes on in media all of the time, which is tiresome-especially, when it occurs among persons dispersing “information,” who apparently can’t be bothered to ask any questions, so whatever they do know loses credibility over minor details they never explore. I’m sure the families & descendants of famed individuals feel the same way about their own progenitors’ names, generally. I did come across something mentioning “Brix” as the potential origin of “Bruce” as a surname. What it means, apart from “breaking/broken,” I don’t know, but I’d like to know. There may still be a town or village of the same name, somewhere. I do know that such research is typically tedious. But it’s also often a matter of asking the correct person a simple question as to what they might know about origins, olde English, spelling, & syllable dialecticals, which do change over time & become the formation of syntax as to how people speak (& how they write things, said to be important)-correctly or incorrectly. I’ll ask all “Robert the Bruce” vlogs I choose to view the same question, btw. Just my own pursuit of trivia & wanting to find “information.” Gaelic cultures interest me somewhat, due to people I’ve met of those regions. Nothing to do with the story or the vlog-both are outstandingly rendered! Particularly, as to now-ancient battles & warfare, particularly their use of topography. 🥂☘️🍀♥️🍷
