Robert I (11 July 1274 - 7 June 1329), popularly known as Robert the Bruce (Medieval Gaelic: Roibert a Briuis; Modern Scottish Gaelic: Raibeart Brus; Norman French: Robert de Brus or Robert de Bruys; Early Scots: Robert Brus; Latin: Robertus Brussius), was King of Scots from 1306 to his death in 1329. Robert was one of the most famous warriors of his generation and eventually led Scotland during the First War of Scottish Independence against England. He fought successfully during his reign to regain Scotland's place as an independent country and is now revered in Scotland as a national hero.

Great documentary! One finicky thing. Unlike B.C., C.E., or B.C.E, the correct usage of “A.D.” technically places the abbreviation before the year in question (E.g. A.D. 425). This is due to its Latin construction. Most people get this wrong. And one might argue that common usage dictates a language.

@Stefan Dubois The Normans never left and England was never reclaimed. Probably why it's as it is now..i.e. over crowded and run like a business with no devolved government.

A Campbell here. An American, still trying to find how far removed. But know how well known the clan is across the pond. Very interesting video. As I'm always searching for videos on ancient Scotland or more personal historical research. But again. Very well done.

[@gagepeterson6974]

Gotta like his style, deserves thumbs ups!!!

[@Blalack77]

These are the kind of details I wonder endlessly about when it comes to historic topics - how kingdoms formed and ended, what came before and in between, etc. They say I'm weird, but I almost exclusively watch and read historic things (with a little science sprinkled in) but somehow, I still learn new things every day. I mean, I know some about Scotland and England's history (very fascinating to me) but I still get certain tribes, groups and kingdoms mixed up and who came first and after, etc - basically, exactly the things you are clarifying here. I recently found out through ancestry research that I'm almost entirely Scottish - my surname, literally my screen name here (minus the numbers), is directly from Scotland - Blalack = Blacklocke. This, after thinking I was German my entire life - so Scotland is extra interesting to me now. Also, wasn't Columba supposedly the first person to record seeing the Loch Ness monster?

Big fan of your channel. Thank you. Would love to see a documentary on the history of the Soviet Empire.

A great and thoroughly comprehensive review of Scotland's proud history.....

[@ericcloud1023]

Thank you for this high quality content! F.O.L- you guys deserve to blow up as a channel :) please keep the history flowing

[@Farmer_El]

Justin, my compliments on a job very well done.

[@matt.s9607]

Great documentary!

[@kennethlaw5871]

This is quite an interesting and informative Documentary...thanks for posting!...:)

[@brandenbermudez2412]

Genetically I am a quarter Scottish and I wish my family and their family before them held on to our Scottish roots and history. It makes me sad how much history is just lost to time.

[@spartanking7842]

Scotland is my ancestral homeland, done some research, and turns out my ancestors were sept of the Scottish clan Cameron.

[@NetherTaker]

Apparently my ancestors were a sept of Clan MacFarlane. You know, the ones known for stealing their neighbors' cows during the night. Did it so much the full moon was called "MacFarlane's lantern"

[@Kevo20]

[@jangowan5742]

[@buchan448]

[@frostwolf2382]

Me this entire video: SCOTLAND FOREVEEEER! Justin: Please, do not take the movie Braveheart as real history Me: :(

[@vincivedivicilextalionas4036]

Braveheart = Historical Documentary

[@ebs4624]

Brave heart the biggest load of bullshit the real story much much better and makes the scottish look so much stronger and smarter

[@dmiller3398]

Which video did you watch?

[@lyndsaycrawford]

Braveheart was soooo historically inaccurate, battles happened but Robert de Bruce did not betray him! Highly unlikely he even fought beside him due to age difference nor did he impregnate Isabella with Edward iii. The truth is much more interesting! Hollywood 🙄

[@dmiller3398]

@@lyndsaycrawford i would maybe draw peoples attention to Mel Gibson as the main problem with braveheart. The one thing we know is the title of the film is misleading. The brave heart is the one of robert the bruce taken , some of the way on crusade. When i mentioned mel gibson i should have made my idea more clear. He and his father are staunch Catholics. The English after especially after Henry the v111 went against the papacy. I just saw this and his film the Patriot as an anti english protest. If you watch the one about the south Americans its like they will be civilized by the spanish catholic ships just off shore at the end. No history here just a (maybe) imagined agenda.

[@garlandstrife]

Superb video!

[@drewsturgeon9511]

Will watch this later thanks!

[@MERollered]

My great great grandparents were Scottish who were shipped off to Canada. They were from the McDonald and Stuart clans for the most part
