Story of King Robert the Bruce 1/6

[XxRobertBoyxX]

I can't believe am related to this guy, feels amazing!

[metalheadwizard]

I'm part Scottish, last name Fleming, and I've been wanting to delve into our rich history. Thanks for the vids, man!

[fatparrot66]

I am English. My surname comes from from old English word for an inn keeper and I believe my family history has a connection to the French protestants that fled France in the 16th Century. SO NO SCOT'S ANCESTRY however I consider The Bruce the greatest ever Briton.

If he'd been born the son of a more powerful nation he would be considered with Julius Caesar, Napoleon or William the Conqueror one of histories all time legends.

He would have killed Wallace in a fight

[herbfrog]

@fatparrot66 and you will still be a nobody..for adding your ignorant viewz.

[herbfrog]

@herbfrog = McRobert Of California.

[SrKohorst]

My Ancestor I am too a Bruce

[sparillian]

@TheFatalInstinct1 Actually, no, I'm Australian, and my parents emigrated from Scotland/England 5 years before I was born. My last name is Roy. Also, as far as intellectually inferior goes, I'm a Masters student, looking at completing a PHD. But, you know, feel free to keep making ludicrously and embarrassingly inaccurate assumptions.

[sii1989]

I was told by my aunt that my uncle has traced my family's ancestry on my grandmothers side to Robert the Bruce. It's always interesting to me to know where I came from.

[GranMaggie]

@sii1989 I too am a descendant of King Robert, through the Flemings.

@vtecivicsib18

First off, moron....I didn't leave and I am proud. My family came here in the 60's and I was born here. Therefore I am first gen. outside of Scotland. Unlike most who post here and I've been back enough times that I don't need a tour gude to go from Pollock to Paisley. Why they left? Why would I take the time to explain that to you? You're just the typical long distance tough guy who likes to insult from a safe, no doubt, grannie fortified basement!

[maideniron17]

Thanks for the uploads! Love this series and being the product of a proud Scots family that found its' way to Canada in the 1960's..... and extremely proud of my lineage.........Thank you!!!! And no...I cannot claim being related to the Bruce LOL Though we did fight with him and Wallace!

[saps1977]

This is a fabulous series. Neal Oliver is masterful.

[gregandkim77]

I just found out that Robert De Bruce is my great grandfather as well. So excited to know more of him.

[mrbassman25]

@gregandkim77

yeah, you and 20 million others !!!! lmfao

[TheDranny50ish]

We hid and some of us still hide cause we are true scots and sparillian I am a macdonald from the isles and clanranald

[pduffy4]

@mortaj

Indeed, Wallace had never agreed to be subject to the English crown. I am please Bishop Lamberton got some mention. He had a very important role but because he never actually killed anyone in battle there has never been a monument to him, at least that I am aware of.

[DarkShroom]

@mortaj right so that's why they hung him for "high treason", you might want to look traitor up in the dictionary, this is the orginal usage of the term

[blackgrange]

scotland are our own worst enemy we should all stand united against a tory government who will bring our country to its knees.

[mcRioRemedy]

@blackgrange well said



[fartsam08]

Scotland's terms: Bring your commander forth and make him put his head between his knees and kiss his own arse.

[TheExoticAnimal]

robert the bruce is in my family tree

[andrew8833]

@TheExoticAnimal In mine too, so proud of it!

[TheExoticAnimal]

@andrew8833 thats cool :)

[e081194eng]

@TheExoticAnimal Mine too.

[toshishimura]

Buckfast87, Robert the Bruce was lord of the manor of my home town, Hartlepool, in the 12th century. He built St Hildas church in 1170. Part of his house still remains in the village of Hart, next to the 7th century church. His claim on the Scottish crown was lost to John de Baliol, but as you know, Roberts grandson went on to be King

[BlackThoughtChannel]

@toshishimura What happened to the House of Baliol?

[thejoymonster]

Thanks for posting!

[gaiuskaiser]

The Scots are part of the lost tribe of Israel.But so are the Saxons the word Saxons means Issacs sons.So are many Spaniards,Dutch,Germans,Americ­ans,Canadians,All the Christian countries of Europe are the House of Isreal.The people known as Jews today are just 2 tribes of the biblical nation of Israel.The other 10 tribes are all around you

[segano1]

@gaiuskaiser No, that's nothing more than myth.

The overwhelming mass majority of Scots descend from Picts as genetic evidence has proved in 2006.

The Saxons are the early English people, and their roots are not the same as the Scots.

[gaiuskaiser]

@segano1 The picts are members of the 10 tribes.Myth ......a simple study on the stone of Scone ,or stone of destiny as some call it might help you understand.That stone which was Jacobs pillar is the stone that rests under the coranation chair.I would recommend the book Jacobs Pillar by E Raymond Capt .In which he talks about the stone and the migrations of people which proves everything i said in my first comment.Give it a read it is a small litttle book and very interesting

[alphamale442]

Whats this documentary called? I'd like to use it for works cited for a research paper I did.

[buckfast87]

@alphamale442 this is from the histroy of scotland series, you can buy it inline or watch them all on youtube, i believe this is episode 3 or 4 robert the bruce. great series

[TheSkylar999]

im so lucky hes my ans-ester!

proof:

Search up my name:

Skylar Bruce

[lulz1978]

@TheSkylar999 scottish roots also traced to my ancestor, devil anse hatfield

[autumnleaf50]

[autumnleaf50]

[nobbytang]

fantastic - went to the bannockburn battle site in july and saw the recreated face of robert the bruce ( done in 2005 in manchester ) and whats clear is this was no noble fancy dan but with cuts over both eyes and on the bridge of the nose , this was fighting man . This great leader made edward the 2nd fight his fight on the ground of his chosing . Not sure Daddyo would of fell for it though as in edward the 1st we ( I am a proud englishman ) had a leader to match but thats irrelevant .

[XeIpherpolis]

Love that Scottish accent!

[annieooooo]

Thankyou so much for posting these! I am very much in love with my herritage and appreciate this as we cannot view it in Canada.Scotland Go Bragh!

[nobbytang]

Just visited bannockburn and looked into the face of robert of bruce ( the re created one ) and the thing that impressed me the most was the battle scars over both eyes and nose , this was a fighting man true and proud and the one thing both him and edward the 1st had in common was this fighting pedigree . Edward killed 2 muslim assasins single handedly and was also known to of been in the fighting front line on many occasions !!

[calicheSCOT]

Excellent TV show, we need more like it!

[punakesha]

Long live a FREE SCOTLAND,Dread God from clan Munro

[PtbaScot]

Thanks for the download mortaj. But should it not be The story of the King who regained independence for Scotland. Scotland was a recognised nation long before England was. I think England was for a long time seven separate kingdoms, like Northumberland, Wessex etc.

[rustybuckets07]

The Declaration of Arbroath is every bit as important if not more so than the US constitution..why dont we get that?

[Gabriel1010101]

dude this is my great great great grandfather :D . . you dont belive me . . names greg russell BRUCE jr trace it!!!

[willberb]

@Gabriel1010101 Well good on yah mate. Why do you write like a valley boy?

Choose your words well.

[AwsomWarrior]

wqallace for king wallace for king

[AwsomWarrior]

WALLACE

[mouthforwar17]

this whole story about scota and the scots decending from noah isnt true it was just a story to persuade the pope. that story still fools ppl till this day..

[willberb]

Apparently Jesus's friend, Joseph of Aramathia, was a rich man who derived a great deal of his income from the tin mines of Cornwall.

[DerBadischeGryphen]

I know it's scottish accent, but he sounds like a Swiss talking English :D

[jkhorner32]

I'm delighted to have discovered this group of vids. I'll be spending a lot of time exploring all of them. Thanks for posting.

[mortaj]

@jkhorner32 Thanks for taking the time to comment. Appreciated.

[RaynauddeChatillon]

wish the volume on this vid was louder. I can't turn my computer volume up any more but can barely understand what this guy's saying.

[BonnieBlueFlag1314]

Wishart and Lamberton, two of the greatest unsung heroes of the Wars of Independence!

[SinnFein4ever]

Ach!

Can we not have a documentary on Robert the Bruce which was made by Scots?

Or at the very least, not made by England?

(the BBC is owned by the British government)

[BonnieBlueFlag1314]

You'll actually find this entire series has very strong Scottish nationalist undertones, especially near the end. Its so refreshing to see on television which is dominated by Unionist nonsense.

[SinnFein4ever]

@BonnieBlueFlag1314

Ok, I'll watch it.

But I'd still preffer to watch a documentary about Robert the Bruce (or Scottish history in general), which was made by Scots.

Doesn't Scotland have any movie/TV studios?

Even New Zealand is making internationally-watched movies & TV series, now.

[casckana]

thank you mister for putting this up i really interested to find out about my great great great grand father King Bruce of dearly beloved scotland. makes my life a we bit easyer to understand them.

[AbbysMyAppy]

@casckana Awesome, you're related to him too?? My mom has done geneaology and he's my gret something grandfather too! I even made a group for it on Fb! Do you want the link?

[casckana]

ah no thanks though its great that we might be related to the same person lol you might be ou=ne of my cousins or something lol. but i still gotso much resarch to do lol

[ilttml]

It's too bad that braveheart didn't show Robert as that good. He should be known and remembered just as much as Wallce

[1974PeaceMaker]

@ilttml  so should andrew murry and so should every other scott who gave his life for scotland , why only the leaders who get the statues, scotland was not a one man leader

[FUSION144]

Neil Oliver is good at explaing scotland.

[kuhleskind]

@FUSION144 I know! i love him...like really, am in love with him! he's SO intelligent, and dashing! lol

[GrooveDoctor77]

Great video,have been interested in Scottish history since Braveheart

[BillDFC]
