It really is impressive how Robert the Bruce had almost complete control over the enemy's movements at Bannockburn. The English front line had no choice but to run headfirst into a big spiky wall, the troops in the back were unable to to much about it as there was almost no way to get any kind of feint or flanking maneuver going, and the only place the archers could go to be effective was in a spot where they were quickly swept off the battlefield. If there ever was a textbook example of how crucial the choice of terrain is to winning a battle, this would certainly be it.

The spider story is VERY similar to the one involving Alfred the Great while he was hiding in the marshes from the Norsemen. In his version, Alfred watches a spider try over and over again to catch an edge while hanging from its thread, until finally achieving it in order to continue building. This of course inspires Alfred to keep fighting and retake his lost kingdom. I’m pretty sure I’ve read that Alfred’s story is thought to be apocryphal, so the Bruce one very likely is too. No cake burning story to compare however! Lol

Edward II was so comically inept at commanding a battle that it's honestly amazing that his men even followed his orders as he led them into the meatgrinder of Stirling lmao. Like his own father literally demonstrated how to beat them with ease in prior battles. They're primarily consisting of pikes, that is the ONLY obstacle to the English win condition of a heavy cavalry charge. This is not just some fantastical, fairy tale, style of fighting that sounds glamorous. Heavy cavalry charging a mass of foot soldiers is something that will absolutely devastate them if they're even slightly disorganized. How do you disorganize a mass of pikes? With archers. It doesn't matter how said pikes maneuver whatsoever, if they're not kept out range of archers until the last minute before a charge, they will get mowed down. Pikes require using both hands to hold, so they can't really hold a useful shield at the same time to protect against arrow volleys. So in reality, Edward II didn't even have to maneuver his valuable cavalry and Infantry at all, aside from covering their archers in case of a Scottish charge on them. The Scots had literally no answer to archers, aside from a handful of light cavalry that would simply be annihilated by heavy cavalry in a head on confrontation if they just haphazardly charged the English archers. If a formation of pikes slowly marched towards archers, again they would be comically mowed down long before they even got near them. Even if they managed to reach the archers, they would be so disorganized and out of formation by then, that again Infantry charging them, let alone heavy cavalry, would disperse them quickly. Either way, I'm amazed Edward II wasn't just killed on the spot by his own men as he barked the orders to advance his entire force into the low ground, not only leaving his archers completely exposed, but now placing the entirety of the "meat" of his army into the most compromising position even imaginable on this battlefield lmfao. That goes beyond ego, and is well within the realm of insanity.

That depends on what you mean by independence. On the one hand Scotland could remain a nation within the United Kingdom with direct democratic representation at Parliament or the other option it seems is to gain independence from Westminster and become a member of the European Union with no direct democratic representation in Brussels. I would welcome Scotland as an independent nation but without the SNP dreams of becoming another small member of the EU with virtually no say at all under the Qualified Majority Voting rules of the EU. As it stands if Scotland want a huge say in their government all they have to do is ditch the minority party preaching independence BS which that party will deliver and then snatch away again only to hand Scotland over to the governance of Brussels. That said I think it's one for the Scots to decide. A full member of the UK or a province of the Brussels Empire.

WW2. A pincer attack, is where you attack from both sides (flanks), and the front. The Pincher attack went horribly wrong for the Allied, on 12/07/1944, at Lemberg, France which was occupied by a trivial German force. Where it took a huge force, nearly 24 hours, to take a town held by a much smaller German force. The Occupying Germans had anticipated the pincer move, and thru the use of minefields, and mining the road on both sides, turned it into a functional, Stirling Bridge battle, the allied were going in funneled thru the center of the road, while both flanks were stopped. When the allied went into some buildings, a single German could take the building down, they were that prepared, causing a huge loss for the Allied, even if they did take it 24 hours later. How? Brute force, and the willingless to accept losses is how the allied took Lemberg. Weird enough, people whom were there have talked about the battle, and generals on both sides have published memoirs.

@@Englishman_and_mountains sorry but you’re wrong by saying the Scots in the lowlands are not mostly Germanic. Speaking a language doesn’t determine ancestry. The Scots language has a mix of Gaelic and Norse derived words as well reflecting the complicated history of the nation. Angles migrated up from the southeast above Northumbria after the Vikings attacked. The Gaelic speaking Kingdom of Alba then annexed the southeast in all the chaos. Celts were already in the southwest of the lowlands but they eventually adopted the Scots language as it spread. They were Britons who underwent a process of Gaelicization meaning their native language was replaced with Gaelic prior to having adopted the Scots language. Then many last names and place names were anglicized after being gaelicized. However I know we are dealing with a more modern Scotland now, with more English people having moved to the country and that’s okay. It’s best to be careful in conversations like this as to not cause any harm.

To say that Wallace did not chose the battle site at Stirling Bridge, is to ignore some English documents about Creshingham. (ah, documents, or letters of complaint against Creshingham, from the generals). Wallace passed Stirling Bridge, went further away, then him and his men crossed in the river, then doubled back to Stirling Bridge. Creshingham, basically an accountant more then a general, was delayed by the pussyfooting around by the signers of the Capitulation document, nearly, like it was intentional, and they were a party to the plan. (perhaps?). Then Creshingham pursued Wallace, and thought he could catch up by having the men cross the sad Stirling Bridge. The generals advised him against it. Creshingham counted the pennies, and decided it would cost money to cross where Wallace crossed. The gererals whom advise was ignored, sent letters to the king, which were found by the crown recently, when they were scanning historical documents. But Wallace had joined forces across the bridge. They were waiting in ambush, to pick off the English whom if they came across the bridge, would have to do it two at most in rank. It was a stupid move by Creshingham (in his defense, we know the outcome). The documents seem to suspect a conspiracy by the Scots that signed the documents, for being a party to the delay, and allowing Wallace to secure a position of his choosing. Imagine believing that a surrender, was part of your oppositions battle plan (lol).

The pitch on this narrator's voice is so low that much of what he is saying gets lost, paticularly at the end of his sentences when his voice drops off anyway. And the competing music doesn't help things any, either. 😮

It's incredible how Ancestry can be looked in to these days. GG no.#29 W. Wallace: who'd of thunk and it kept going back to GG. 41 a guy named Ragnar Lothbrook Sigurdson. Must be why I smelled Tyranny back when Nixon was in office. Again when Regan was President...

Disappointed: this was not the -complete- history as the title touted. As an historian, I’m interested in the early days when Scotland invaded Norman England (yes, they started it) and kicked off about 600 years of border wars. All this was was a rehash of the Bruce and forwards. Too bad.

In the second story there's an American historian who transitioned from a man to a woman. I see him/her all the time and wonder how people from the past would deal with it.

And now Scotland have a political leader of South-Asian origin, who is on record stating Scottish governance is too whíte. But at least we aren't speaking German, eh.
