Can you do a video about The Battle Of Annual ??
3000 Farmers won against 35000 Soldiers
Who’s last to the party🫶🏼
30 euros?!?!?! Are you freaking joking?!?!?!? Get real!
Bwahah
profiting off of a racist game that treats indigenous people as an environmental hazard. fucking despicable and shameful.
"Fight brave, men. One day, centuries from now, a Mel Gibson film will comically misrepresent this moment" - William Wallace.
And he shall fight the Jews with GREAT fury
William Wallace did not say this.
And further memorialize its significance for generations to come..
@@tristramcoffin926 no way bro? Really? The more you know!
@RustyBoysGaming Pretty sure he was paraphrasing Mel Gibson....
Somehow Braveheart managed to show the Battle of Stirling BRIDGE, without the bridge.
But seriously, it was a very well-executed ambush. And the English were foolish here as well.
The story of Wallace allegedly making a sword belt out of Hugh Cressingham’s skin is knarly.
@RustyBoysGaming ahaha
lmao tru tru
@RustyBoysGaming They did a shit job of portraying him as well, since he was in fact a minor noble and a giant, who didn't sleep with Princess Isabella, not least as she would have been a child at that time. And he didn't wear a kilt either, as the Scots only wore them much later. In fact many of the events in the film didn't take place.
@RustyBoysGaming It wasn't even about William Wallace. Pretty much everything that happens besides the main historical setting is pure fiction...
Including Wallace having impregnated Princess Isabelle...
@RustyBoysGaming That's not "minor room" it's blatant fiction. The movie literally starts with a narration saying "Some people would call me a liar" or something to that effect.
3:11 I love how you made Edward speak in french, the language he actually spoke in, instead of english
True officially, but he also knew how to speak the English of the time.
@@AnthonyEvelyn No. They only started speaking English in the 15th century. The Plantagenet were French.
@@TemplarX2 of course he spoke English as well. Just because French was the official language of the English court until 1400ish doesn't mean nobody spoke English.
@@AnthonyEvelyn He probably knew it but it definitely wasn't his preferred language. The first English king to speak English as his main language is believed to have been Henry V
@@TemplarX2 No multiple English kings spoke English before Edward 3 but it was only by Henry V that it was their first language in fairness.
I really wish more people would acknowledge the part the other protector Andrew Murray played in the rebellions. He led an amazing campaign in the North while Wallace led one in the South. Murray was also likely a major player in the planning of Stirling as he was a combat tested leader
You're right. Wallace's strategy, or complete lack of it, at Falkirk strongly suggests that Andrew Murray was the brains behind the victory at Stirling.
@@therightarmofthefreeworld4703 There was not a complete lack of strategy at Falkirk, the schiltroms were effective against cavalry but the nobles fleeing and English archers did them in
The idea that Wallace had no battle leadership training, seems to be at odds at all the coincidences that got him there, and the choice for the battlesite. It's hard to know, there is not good documentation, but if that's true, then perhaps Murray was the hero at Stirling Bridge, for planning it. Or perhaps someone else is not getting enough credit. What was exploited, was the English's desire to be war hero's, and they put themselves across the bridge first. Cressingham died. They thought they were going to win, Cressingham even released some of the troops, so, they would not be paid. That was a huge miscalculation. Cressingham also thought the Scotts would wait until they all crossed the river Forth, which was a weird assumption, when Wallace was clearly not following by his rules to date. And Cressingham put his own troops thru a chokepoint.
@normbograham As probably a minor noble/knight he would definitely have had some training, but Andrew Murray had experience in actual combat and had lead troops with his father at Dunbar. The main reason I give credit to Murray is that after his death it was downhill from there.
I agree with this! I’m currently working on a UA-cam episode looking into the life of Andrew De Moray, should be released in a few weeks 🏴🏴🏴
There's a 'History of Scotland' episode by Neil Oliver where he mentions the fact that Wallace fashioned the scabbard for his sword out of the skin of the english bishop he caught and flayed alive.
People also have to bear in mind that Wishart's strategy was to use Wallace's guerilla warfare tactics buy enough time for him to find a capable Scottish nobleman for the country to unite around and eventually drive out the english in their war of independence. Wallace's hit and run tactics did exactly that though Wallace didn't live to see the day Robert Bruce gain Scotland it's indepedence.
It was Hugh de Cressingham, the English High Treasurer in Scotland.
Allegedly he was such a douche even the other English leaders didn’t like him much.
Be wary of anything that comes out of Neil Oliver's mouth,he is an archaeologist not a historian! 🙄
He probably would have hated it as the Bruce family was quite unpopular when Wallace was alive due to the fact that they spent a lot of time on the English side.
That incident in your first paragraph is most likely myth, as most stories regarding Wallace are. For a start, the alleged victim wasn't a bishop.
He also shot lighting bolts out his arse.
As a Scot who loves history I love this. Thank you Historymarche. The genius of Wallace using the bridge to negate the English armies greater numbers. Letting a part of army cross then attacking and the only line of retreat being across the same bridge. Scottish History is complicated.
Not genius.. it was a dumb mistake from the english.
@@AleexGod the English thought they were invinsible vs the Scots perhaps?
@@markjoyous3525 A series of dumb mistakes xd
@@markjoyous3525 I do believe us English were over confident, relaxed on tactics due to being arrogant on the fact we did believe we had better quality men at arms and knights would be a breeze through the Scottish ranks but did we little know that the genius William Wallace would out wit us, out smart us and make us route in defeat in his own back yard. William Wallace is still the face of the Scottish Independence, he died for the independence of his country and of his home, only the bravest of men in history are always remembered when inspiring, brave, charismatic, articulate and intelligent… William Wallace is all them things.
Perhaps more likely the genius of Murray
Writing about the Earl and saying he fled so swiftly that his horse "Never again tasted fodder" shows us that Walter of Guisborough was our kinda guy.
Good timing! Today is the Feast of Saint Margaret of Scotland.
My favorite story of all historical struggles, the underdog survives the seemingly hopeless situation and prevails
Yes! This is the reason why the battle of Hemmingstedt is my very favorite battle.
William Wallace: "...And that is the story of how I saved Scotland from the tyranny of England"
Me: "Wow! What an amazing life you had, Will! Sure you looked BADASS wearing that blue face paint and lifting your skirt up to show your ass to your enemies!." 😃
William Wallace: "...What?"
"Mel, who will play Andrew Moray in the film?" "Adrew who?"
Mel: “Are you Not entertained?”
William Wallace was 7 ft tall...
I'm Scottish and studying History at a Scottish University. Youd be amazed how little these battles are covered 😑
😞
Randall Wallace- "Historians will say I am a liar, but history is written by those that hang heroes."
Don't bring that shit film up please
0:42 The Holy Roman Empire was giant at this time
Sorry I missed the premiere of the first part but I’m glad I’m here for the second, William Wallace!!
Yep, great to have to on part 2 premiere. To be fair it's a work day, so I didn't even expect too many people to show up. So cheers for tuning in
As someone living in Oregon. You pronounced Oregon correctly. Thank you.
And days after days history marche is here to bring us knowledge !! The time of history as no effect on you !!
Loving these good old Scotland vs England battles. Keep up the great content. ❤
As a former student at Stirling University I very much enjoyed the video.
I really apreciate the little side info on the scrolls with the scrolls for additional details that might seem tangential for the progressing narrative, but are good to know as an aside.
Part2 already! thanks HM!
Mel Gibson: Wait, there was a bridge involved in the battle?
🤣 🤣 🤣 Oh I wish he could actually read your comment.
It's funny because Hollywood loves soldiers charging at one another screaming, but reality is always much more interesting and logical.
yet he showed a Caddilac in the backround of the battle, LOL!
A bridge could have made for some great cinematics tbh
@@theawesomeman9821was it pink
Have long awaited the release of this video, the ancestors thank you! Fight on!
My ability to skip past the commercial has died of dysentery
Hahaha that made me chuckle. Though to be fair, of all these games that I try, in Oregon Trail I actually got some decent play time. The randomness of it and the quirky fun events make the game pretty good.
@@HistoryMarche Good to know they kept that in there. I was paying the original when it first came out & computers were a new thing so I’m forced to give it a try even though I no longer game.
Great work on showing some of Scotlands history, really enjoyed this episode as in my previous work I spent 6 years telling this story of the battle at Stirling Bridge. An amazing strategic victory that would be replicated in the area 17 years later.
One thing I'll say for anyone making videos on Scotland - Scone, crowing place of Scottish Kings, and sadly close to Perth, is pronounced Skoon
That was short,but still satisfied me.
Thank you.
Excellent video, as always
Another great video from your production!

That was great. I love history and this channel. I can't wait to hear more.

Great documentary
Viewing Stirling on google maps satellite I see the castle, an amazing stretch of walls, and the bridge are all still there for us to see and admire. Thanks for the wonderful episode.
great video thanks!
The Oregon Trail?!?!?! WOW that's a blast from the past!
Indeed. I got a few hours under my belt with the new version, it's just as fun as the classic. They kept up the pixelated style which is great
@@HistoryMarche Gotta try it now. I'm in my 30s and I STILL remember trying to survive the trail back when I was 10!
Loving the content 👍👍
Nice production!
I love this. Please more
great video!
Wallace was a captain in Andrew de Moray's,"Black Andrew of Murray" Who died in the battle Wallace wouldn't have been mentioned if Andrew Moray had lived.
That was great. Thanks.
Great stuff!
Thank you for the great story
Awesome video
Another amazing video from K&G

Great video! Can't wait for part 3!
So the algorithm ranks comments now? More than a thumbs up? and if yes to both...Why?
Yes, Likes, Dislikes, and Comments all count as "engagement". So both the likes and comments help a lot.
While we only see views when browsing videos. Which i thought mattered along with likes/dislikes. And should end there honestly, this is not FB or TW to count engagement. Anyway, since that's the case... Sacrifices will be made as offerings for this channel.
Such a great series
Love your vids guys
Keep up the good work!
Sacrifice to the algorithm lol
Love your videos; awesome channel!
David of the Clan McCallion will lead the char... ehm narrate the battle! Gloriously!!
I am addicted to this channel and l don't even need help to stop this addiction ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Magnifico Mastro Piece Professor , A most delight pleasure to watch .
Keep up the hard work 💪 👏
This background music..its an AMAZIGH MUSIC..
Edward Longshank is probably one of the best English Kinga. Underrated.
I studied Scottish wars of independence at university and your coverage if far better.
This is just fantastic. Thank you for covering the Scottish wars of Independence! The art is great and narration is on point.
*PAINTS FACE BLUE*
Haha "Paints face blue", easy now tiger.
eh, wrong time period, are you planning on fighting the Romans in the south of England?
@@richbob9155 I was referring to a certain movie, with a certain actor whom I can agree wasn't accurate at all. 'Braveheart'.
“If you’ve stayed around this long…” please sir. I would stay longer. You cannot provide content that is to long for me to enjoy.
NEW HISTORY MARCHE VIDEO LETS GOOOO

Although I don't dislike the film this is much more epic and unique of a battle
Absolute mad lad, loved this man.
Nice video :D
thanks
Thanks
Thank you for the support. Very kind of you.
Love the videos. Can you make a series where any Byzantines win a battle?
Impossible. After 500ad it was a constant streak of whoppings for a thousand years
@@zyzzsdisciples6707 never heard a more untrue statement in my entire life
@@Kyzr let me help you out with that “ Kaiser is well read”
they had a whole series on the Byzantines including the victory filled rules of Justinian and Heraclius
This battle is one of the fascinating ones in history.
