Great video. The betrayal at Kildrummy, its taking and the subsequent capture of the Bruce women is often a side note as the focus remained on what King Robert did after Methven in many accounts. Thank you for making a video about this.
Once again, Wonderful History telling. Thankyou :) i do share and recommend some of your awesome works to FB in the hope the numbers supporting you grow to the numbers you deserve. Best wishes. Kia Ora :)
@@carmichael3594 one can only imagine what they went through when knowing they were personally going to stand in front of Edward for this, and at a time when his tolerance for mercy was at an all time low
@@carmichael3594 I’m looking forward to doing Edward when I begin the medieval profiles playlist. He’s a fascinating individual and likely one of the greatest and mightiest leaders one could ever face. Everything I have read on him just stokes further interest. Moriss’s book A great and terrible King is very good, as is Prestwich work on Edward I.
@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 what strike's me odd is how Edward 2 is so unlike the rest of the Plantagenet kings. Being the son of Edward 1st i do wonder why Edward 2 didn't pick up anything from his father? Maybe Edward 1st didn't train him properly or something or gave up on him. I wish there was some history insight to those two as father and son
Thank you for doing this video. I never thought I'd see this important historical site up close! I often wonder what really happened to the Countess of Buchan. Records are unclear. I like to think her family took her in once she was released.
If only more true Scots knew about their history,would it change their views,yes Scotland has benefited from the union but at what cost to our rich heritage.Good video.
@@GerryPowell-r6s thank you very much. Indeed a rich heritage and so many incidents and hss as openings overshadowed by bigger events, but deserve merit.
Thank you- excellent. Those are magnificent gravestones you sat amongst- clearly some of those interred on that ground were 'of substance'-be interesting to know whether they post-date the end of the 'chapel' One point-although my mother was from Argyll I'm not so hot on Scots' geography; I followed your story on Google maps but that breaks up the story- if it's not too complicated maybe you could post an odd map ? Not a criticism and please don't take it as such !
@@tomjones7593 Thank you, constructive criticism always very welcome. I may even look at making my own route maps for events in future, great idea and it enhances the interest and the experience…
Brilliant video thank you..
@@Serenity07-10 Thank you very much. I intend to do more on the Bruce women of the family as it is very interesting and seldom touched on.

@@JohnDonald114 I agree. I think the lives and escapades of the women folks are rarely touched on, if at all.

@@suleimanlauderyoung6833 That is very kind of you thank you. It takes time to build a channel and an audience, so I appreciate that a lot.
Great scenery. Absolutely one of my favorite channel's. To think Edward couldn't get any more aggressive in his tatics one would be wrong

@@robertthebruce-geniusofban647 did he ever have really any mercy for his enemies?

@@carmichael3594 As long as they swore fealty and aided his cause, he could be merciful, especially more when he was younger.

I would like to do a piece on Isabella in forthcoming projects for sure.
