10:20 one my Ancestor, the Chief of the Great Clan Ross the Earl of Ross! Was Betrayed by the Whole of the Scottish People, when you allowed Ross-shire, the Earldom of Ross to stand alone and be sacked, and the Great Clan went from 10,000 fighting men to 2,000! And the Earl of Ross imprisoned in the Tower of London and the Earless Ross playing ball with the English to some extent, which in the End got Sorted Out to my Ancestors Son getting Princess Maud, with that Bloodline being Killed off by the Stuarts, the Stuarts who's 1st King Married a Countess Ross, which was my Ancestors Sister who became Euphemia Ross Queen of the Scots, who the Bloodline of the Stuart King settled on (she was his second wife), she divorced him, Married the Laird of the Isles, gave birth to the Lord of the Isles the Earl of Ross a title taken back from the Stuarts by Force, and made War on his Half Brother the King! But anyways if the Earl of Ross betrayed the King so bad, and that Whole Events not Understandable, than he never would of been 4th to put his Seal on the Declaration of Arbraoth! And the Maps you are using are wrong for the Time Period the Earldom of Ross was both Peninsulas in Easter Ross, all the way Past Wester Ross right into the Isle of Lewis, my Ancestor the War Master of Scotland, Husband to the Queen of Mann, the Chief of Clan Arias (Ross), the 1st Earl of Ross Fearchar, the Son of the Priest expanded the Earldom of Ross all the way to the Isle of Lewis and at the time period in Question the Earldom of Ross was much larger than the Ross portion of the Map you use, that's why we Waged War on the Stuarts after the Chief of the Great Clan Ross, the Earl of Ross Hugh Ross (1st to take on the Surname and no de or of is used after that just Ross which was just Ros, he added an S) died in the Crusades and the Stuart King took the Countess Ross from her Husband the Count of Moray, a Randolph (get it, Randy Ross), fair Chance it was Ross who was going to Rule! A claim so good the 1st Stuart King needed to steal his Second Wife from another man to concrete his claim to the Throne. You Pretend like Ross wasn't a pivotal part in all of this...

Just because I am getting a wee bit miffed at my clan being missed out in various historic presentations… the record does state we were at the battle of Bannockburn in fact… William Irvine was the armour bearer and aide to Robert the Bruce.The Irvines had been close allies of the Bruce during his wars with England. During one such time the Bruce made flight with a few aides, riding hard and exhaustingly. At one point they had to rest and the Bruce took sleep under a holly tree while William Irvine kept guard. From this story grows the Irvines of Drum Castle's coat of arms with the holly. At the Battle of Bannockburn (where the Scots won) in June 1314 William fought alongside the Bruce… we are not a footnote in possible participants! However love your work…

Surprised to find any mention of Goodfellow connected with the battle. A light horse unit would not be a surprise for our family on both my mother's side and my father's side. Mom's family (Hall) were 1st NJ Cavalry in the American Civil War and the US Cavalry after the war. Those ancestors had Reiver ancestors (also named Hall) who were kicked out of Scotland in the 1600s and sent to New Jersey about 150 years before our Revolution. On dad's side, many of my greats and grands on the Goodfellow side came to the US and built a church for John Wanamaker in Philly in 1870 and stayed. They ended up creating Goodfellow and Sons, a Scots-Irish construction company in Philly that existed until 1942. In the late 1880s and early 1900s they were known for moving huge girders through the streets of Philly using massive teams of horses.

We seem to vanish from records yet clearly were still here where we have always been ie;West of Scotland & Isles to the Ulster provinces. Did we overstretch in our Mercenary business as Gallowglass? Or did we rebel against too many 'Kingships' and were eventually left off the guest list of history as the awkward bastard 'Ginger 'child?

Symon Lockhart, it seems, served under James Douglas and was fiercely loyal to Robert Bruce. While on crusade in Moorish Spain, James carried the locket containing the cut out heart of Robert, and Symon bore the key. James was killed in battle. Sir Symon Lockhart then bore the key, locket with the Brave Heart, and the bones of James Douglas. Unable to reach Jerusalem, Symon and the other crusaders returned home to Scotland.

Like so many names of Ireland we do see either multiple origin points or similar names ending up in the same area but from different groups in Ireland for example, Hayes, Hughes ,hays, O'Hea, OhAodha, According to Dr Tyrone Bowes the DNA evidence shows a Gaelic Origin of the Surname, considering the cluster groups around Munster especially within the boundries of the original kingdom of Thomond would suggest the orignal genealogie of the clan was correct, that of being a sept from Thomond, the most recent studies by people like Dr Maurice Gleeson have shown the Annal Genealogies for clans from the late 6th early 7th century onwards to be pretty accurate which reinforces the Thomond Gaelic link.

MacDonalds fought on both sides at Bannockburn as far as I can see. They then swamped allegiance some time later at Flodden. When we get to Culloden although the majority fought with Prince Charlie. I had relatives again on both sides. Macdonalds made up a decent percentage of the Government Highland regiment. After this they moved to the US. Where members of my family fought on either side of the war for independence. So I think I can say Macdonalds like to edge their bets. Really enjoyed this thanks

The MacFarlane clan ( MacGilchrist) fought under the Earls of Lennox at Bannockburn and other battles. Pharlan (a younger brother of Maulduin) gave the clan the name MacPharlan-MacFarlane. The clan territory was the northwestern shores of Loch Lammond for 600 years. The Earl of Lennox was one of Bruce's staunchest allies in his rise to power, and assisted in his escape from the mainland to the isles after his defeat at Methven, (how was this overlooked ?)

@@Clans_Dynasties I know they become very powerful much later in the 1500s raising as many as 3000 men on horseback known as one of the most feared Border Reiver Clans. The Border Reiver Clans were only loyal to their families but were almost like hired mercenaries fighting for Scotland one time then England the next. But then forced out to Northern Ireland then America after the Union between Scotland and England. My ancestors went from the Scottish/English borders to Northern Ireland to America, all the way to now the backcountry hills and mountains of Arkansas.

@@Clans_Dynasties The border reivers were as fierce as any highland clan. They were persecuted and many were outlawed and went to Ulster and ultimately onto America. One clan the clan Graham actually changed their name when in Ulster to Maharg(Graham back to front) as they were so notorious. As for my own name?, we actually came the other way around in that we were originally from county down and through religious persecution after 1641 in Ulster we fleed to Scotland as we could freely practice our Presbyterian faith. To this day the name Roney is as prominent in Scotland especially the South West as it is in Ulster.

In the list of commanders at Bannockburn you have made an omission, which I find surprising, if only for the fact that the family were rewarded by Bruce with the Hereditary Lord High Constable of Scotland position for their services at Bannockburn. I have an image from a book (I do not know the title) which shows 6 images of Coats of Arms under the sub title "King Robert's Commanders" First on this list is the Coat of Arms of Clan Hay, with the details as such - Sir Gilbert Hay, Lord High Constable, 4th Earl of Erroll. Gilbert Hay was a noble who led a group of nobles to rescue William Wallace from the field at Falkirk, so, reasonably noteworthy? Wallace was not rescued by an itinerant Irishman as Mel Gibson would have us believe, and please don't call him Australian, as Gibson was born in the US and never applied for and was never granted Australian citizenship (that bit about Gibson is just my personal gripe, the guy is a rube). The other Commanders listed are - Sir Robert Keith, Earl Marshall - Sir Walter Stewart, Lord High Steward - Sir Edward Bruce - Sir James Douglas and Thomas Randolph, Earl Moray. In one of the lists you have listed Gilbert de la Haye, this is one of the earlier renderings of the name Hay and reflect the Norman influence. Nonetheless I really enjoyed the video, being of mixed Irish and Scots ancestry I seem to be watching a lot of your videos lately, they are all very good and informative, would just like to see the family name get more air time, so to speak😁.

Watching your “Which Clans Fought at Bannockburn?”, i’d like to call your attention to a typo on screen in the Ragman Rolls surname list at timestamp 4:05. In common with several historical sources, yours has made the error of transcribing as. “Gledeftan” a surname that was actually “Gledestan” (as it is written in the Rolls: using the medieval “long s”” which was often penned in the middle of names and words, and which can all to easily be misread, by us modems, as the lowercase “f” which is so nearly resembles). The “long s/f” confusion, notoriously afflicts many in endeavoring to spell the names as they find them - you will be able to demonstrate for yourself that this is a confusion simply by looking at the Rolls themselves and comparing one “s” with another in other names and words where the letter “s” occurs in the middle of the word. As a bearer of this surname in its present-day form (Gladstone), may I ask you to please correct the error you have made in that one letter? I will be glad to aid you by correcting the slide accordingly, if you so wish. Your action will mean much to me and to others of my family.

Lies about the Campbell's. They eventually shifted allegiance to England and fought against Scottish independence in 1746. My family's Clan Donald were the largest most powerful Highland Clan and the Campbell's were the largest lowland Clan. The reason the Donald castles and lands are gone and the Campbell's is still around is because we Fought for Scottish independence in 1746. I've got nothing good to say about the Campbells and you shouldn't be praising them either.

Today, in the USA, they list popular sirnames, and you can see where your family ranks in the list of surnames. After the first 1,000 sirnames, all last names are really rare. Some fell off the list of the 5,000 most popular. which is a bit weird. It's got to be like that here, as well.

*Ferguson claims, citing a statistician he hired for his research, that at least 29 battle-hardened knights and sergeants would have ended up in Scotland, based on 335 avoiding capture, and that they influenced Bruce's tactics. And he argues that the real figure could even be as high as 48.* >> the idea was "hardly more credible" than old claims that the kingdom of Scotland was founded by the Egyptian princess Scota, and that Ferguson's theories reheated an old slur on Bruce's achievements. www.scotsman.com/news/how-crusading-templars-gave-bruce-edge-bannockburn-2443121

most folk did not. have a clan in the 1300s the lived under the local land owner and most did not have a sir name ... the SIR name is that of a SIR Knight or lord owner .. With given time clans would appear due to how wealthy the land would become the more wealth as in farming the more the people would survive .. so when it came to bannockburn it was areas or lordsships that would bring the men to battle ... folk got their sir name from the sirs they served or the job they did .. I tend find the Americans can trace their familys much better than we scots but that is a myth mostly peddled by company's cashing on th.. Written records in scotland only go back to the 1600s for the wee folk .. due to parish records only starting then in scotland no one could read or write ... and i find most Americans they think they know when in fact it is just. a romantic view which impacts on the real truth that you will never really know no matter your name many names were changed as people went to America from scotland and the spelling changes and folk changed their names to get away from persecution ... Most clans names come from vikings and irish settlers on the west coast of scotland ... not from scots celts there is good number of names that are french norman who came up from Walse like the bruce ,wallace or Douglas .. The french normans would destroy the scottish ancestry in years to come it was a land grab and with that ethnic cleansing would take place for 200 years ridding the real scots in the north of the forth into the black Isle ... and with the vikings settling in the west on the water on lochs and would farm the lands their presence is apartment to this day with place names and family names ....

Disappointed to see "Savour the Moment" as the Duncan motto, as most places I've seen "Disce Pati." That translates to either "Learn to Endure" or "Learn to Suffer." Nowhere near "Savour the Moment," which in Latin is something like Saporis Momentum. I'm curious where that "Savour the Moment" comes from. I realize that millenia pass, and branches spread out, but that's quite the stretch, and personally Disce Pati feels much more aligned with the usual struggles found throughout the culture. Savour the Moment seems too light and airy.

I used the most recent clan crest / motto as I thought it would be the easiest visual representation that people might recognise if you feel in future videos that the motto "Disce pati" is more well known within the Duncan community I will use that going forward. I've seen about 10 different mottos used by various duncans, although i do believe that "Disce pati" is the earliest one mentioned in the middle of the 17th century.
