“Upset he had broken his favorite axe” on a mans skull. Metal af Robert.

“We fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honor but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life” Robert the Bruce

Scottish history takes a different vibe when you think about Robert the Bruce, William Wallace, and King Edward "Longshanks" as "Bob, Bill and Eddie."
-
"I am Robert the Bruce. Scotland follows me. Be it through fields of wheat or of battle."
-
Please do Richard III! His life was just as bananas as the play Shakespeare made of him!!
-
Minor Correction: Edward II was deposed by Isabella of France, his wife, and her lover, Roger Mortimer (an English nobleman). Edward III, who was 18 at the time, had to usurp the throne from Roger. It's a very fascinating story. It involved breaking into a castle, duelling Roger, and other great feats. Please do a video about his life.

Robert the Bruce: Come out and fight me! The guys at Perth castle: Nah bro. It’s too late in the day. Can we fight tomorrow? Robert the Bruce: Understandable. Have a nice day.

As a Scotsman I have been patiently waiting for another episode on a fellow Scot. This channel never disappoints 😁

"Keep your wars distant. Otherwise you track the muck through your own lands."

When history and Mel Gibson steal the spotlight from you, here comes Simon to deliver justice

Another related person to this would be James "the black" Douglas, one of roberts key captains who routinely stormed castles with only a handful of men and destroyed them including his own family home.

"We need a king to rule out land Bruce is in command."

I'm from dumfries, we have a plaque near the site of the monastery and we have a pub named after him. We absolutely love Robert.

Robert the Bruce is my 18th great grandfather. Robert Stewart III is my 14th. I've been researching my heritage through several sources lately and it's very interesting. I imagine at some point many of us connect with royalty in some way so I can't be sure how unique or special it is, but it's fun to think about.

Now there is a real King! Many thanks from a distant descendant of Scottish warriors.
-
Great Bios Simon! these should be shown in schools as their are well thought out and easy to follow. Keep them coming!
-
I've been waiting for this one since I watched the movie about him with Chris Pine. Thanks Simon

The pits where a brilliant tactic. I could imagine the effect the screaming horses would have had on the men.

This was awesome. Thank you for putting it together and out there.
