    It was a misty, cold December morning in 2020. I opened UA-cam just to get some Christmas music in the background, when an ominous thumbnail rose up from the general clutter like a sore thumb. With a racing heart, I nipped to the galley to grab a mug of hot cocoa and my pipe, then sat down and muttered "The dice have been cast. It's all or nothing now" as I clicked on the thumbnail with a trembling hand.

    Just a quick and small thing, I'm from the region of Dumfries and Galloway originally. It's usual to refer to people from Galloway as 'Gallovidian' rather than 'Galwegian'. Gallovidian is a common term, it's been used for companies, a magazine cited by Dorothy L. Sayers in one of her crime novels, a Scottish country dance etc. I believe the term Galwegian more commonly relates to the dialect of Gaelic spoken there until the last native speaker died sometime around 1760 or there-abouts. It's just really weird to hear people referred to so differently than they actually would be from your own experience.
    Other-wise, excellent work

    I will never understand battles like these. David yielded to the demands of Galwegians, they rushed and charged at the enemy and everthing is fine up until here. What i don't understand is why David hesitated to support the Galwegians with the rest of his army. He outnumbered the enemy and still managed to lose. Galwegians wanted to be on the first line and charge first. Their wishes were fullfilled so it's not like David didn't support them because it would be a dishonorable act for them. Can someone explain it to me 😕?

      My thoughts exactly, surely it's important to deploy all your strength at the same time to overwelm the opponent - not offer half your army to them, while the rest sit back and watch. They must have not had room to deploy I guess. Or maybe David wanted the Galwegians to die, who knows.

      From some stuff I've read about the battle, it seems that King David may not have had full control of the army on the day of battle. There seemed to be quite a bit of debate of who got to lead the first assault. The Galwegians demanded they lead it due to some ancient tradition and/or due to their recent victory at Clitharoe. Some of the nobility, who included Normans (who may have felt insulted by playing 2nd fiddle to Scots), challenge this proclamation and told David to stick to his original plan. David however, relented to the Galwegians and when the battle occurred, David "may have" ordered the remaining men forward, but the nobles "may have" refused his orders. Once the Galwegians broke, David apparently dismounted to lead the remaining men on foot, but they turned and ran.
      Here's a really good article that covers this battle if you want to know more.
