Can you make a video of the battle ourique in 1139 ad please!?
(HistoryMarche) - If you could possibly explain to me why the scots formed as they did during the battle of Falkirk because it's obvious that the way William Wallace had them formed up in skilltrons as he did he must have known it wasn't goin to hold up as it may have held more precisely as it being more of a line or even possibly preferably mimicking a phalanx like Statuto as a sense other than leaving your flanks open to encirclement/envelopment. Hopefully I will get an answer to this question one day n not be stumped on why someone with his knowledge of tactics and battlefield strategies to make such a mistake like this as one would if they were at their first battle
True, …but aim higher. Lol
Well said
These hour long video's are better than Netflix movie's
Since when did you speak such truth
The last time I used Netflix several years ago, I saw only Ricky Gervais' IDIOT ABROAD thing which was barely entertaining.
I got a video proving that Ricky Gervais is worse than Hitler.
"outlaw king" isn,t a bad film. It is about the real braveheart Robert de Bruce, the final battle is very savage
Indeed
funny you say that cuz heard netflix is going to start signing youtubers for exclusive content
As a Scotsman it’s as difficult to watch our history as it is to watch our national football team, however, these beautifully animated and narrated videos make it so satisfying. The unbiased commentary is so perfectly scripted that, unlike with football, I almost appreciate the losses as much as the victories!
As a Scottish American (Clan Fraser of Lovat) I can agree to an extent. I don't watch sports very much, but I love learning our history. It's important to do so, maybe moreso as in America, we have no Clan Castles or clan lands. We have Clan gatherings, highland games, and occasionally we speak Gaelic and have battle reenactments. It's important to know this I think and to remember what our ancestors went through so we could be here.
I don't see why Scottish history is rich and there's plenty to be proud of, as far as i recall this is the only time England invaded and the Bruce ended that, the Act of Union was signed in 1707 according to the history books it was initiated by the Scot's to gain access to English colonies and trade and because the Scottish state was bankrupt, the English never forced the union on them in the same way the Welsh and Irish had, you're not proud of the Higlanders who charged the French at Waterloo? with the Scot's Greys charging through the Highlanders as they smashed the French line... and that's just my favourite in all of Britain's wars the Scot's have played major roles, away from military stuff the Scottish are also responsible for a large number of inventions far above the the ratio for other countries, you have a lot to be proud of my Northern brother don't let the Nationalists change history for their own ends, the Scot's entered into a union of their own free will and chose again during the referendum, this is not propaganda this is fact, we have and will always be "better together"
The losses hurt the most but also teach us the most. ❤ from 🇨🇳
@@xtoll123 The Scottish elite sold out the Scots with the Act of Union. Having signed this they proceeded to evict many Scots from the Highlands and Lowlands, as they didn't men any more for defense and instead wanted palaces and money to support their lavish lifestyles in London and Paris so sought to replace people with more profitable sheep (this failed by the way). They also set up the regular Scots to be used as cannon fodder in the expansion of the British Empire - particularly in India. After one slaughter of the Scots a general was reported saying to a subordinate 'don't worry, there are plenty more where they came from' - the truth is Scotland went from being a global leader in many areas to a sad, dependent nation, with its regular people enslaved to England and that dependence is so entrenched it now cannot stand on its own. Like England It has turned into a decadent nation with no Christian values, unhealthy people and ruined economy. The only reason England is not impoverished is because of the finance sector, set up by the Elites there (for their own purposes) and based out of the City of London - a cabal of the rich whom flout decency by setting up tax havens in British dependencies.
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 You most likely are in the U.S because the Scottish elites evicted vast number of Scots after the Act of Union. There is no traitor so bad as the Elites of nation - the elites of America have equally ruined the regular people there by allowing their industries to be sent to China. If America could not print money like crazy, the true destruction of America would be revealed.
this is gold for history lovers. thank you guys!!
Longshanks had over Five Thousand longbowmen. I could not fathom the sight, when they fired all at once. Thanks for the video.
Then you see 10,000 well armored French knights fall in their best armor as to be kind to their looters
Block out the sun.
Awesome video. I respect the Scots resolve and resistance. They kept fighting even after Williams gruesome death. And bad defeats.
Just goes to show what a shitty neighbor the English were. More competent and diplomatically savy English monarch might have absorbed Scotland more easily.
Wish the Welsh had done the same.
@@daviddavies3637 Wales had far less resources to fight the English.
@@ElBandito the Scottish had been raiding England for centuries. They were equally, if not more shitty as neighbours.
@@ElBandito It was also a lot closer to the center of English power.
Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice
The real stone of destiny remains in Scotland
English Knights charge into a pike formation
Scottish: HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN?!
Kirk is better than Pike
You should do the period 1314-1328, Scottish raids into England including battles of Myton and Old Byland leading to declaration of Arbroath.. Also what about the Jacobite rebellions 1688,1715,1719 and 1746?? Love your videos
Last year was the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Old Byland.
Off piste running I completely agree with you on wanting videos on the Jacobite rebellions but I would also love to see a video on this one Scottish battle that I really only know two things about but I don’t know anything else about the battle and this battle is the battle of Athelstanford and what I do know about the battle is very interesting and important to Scottish history and what I know about the battle is that the commanders of the battle were Pictish king Oengus the second or oengus the first and facing them was king ethelstan grandson of king Alfred the great but the important part of Scottish history is a legend and the legend is that on the eve of the battle king oengus had a vision and in the vision Saint Andrew who was crucified on a diagonal cross came to the Pictish king promising him victory and then in the morning of the day of the battle the picts saw a cloud formation that looked like Saint Andrew’s cross and the picts won the battle and attributed their victory to the blessing of Saint Andrew and then the picts named him as their patron saint and adopted his form of the cross as their flag and the important part of Scotlish history is this is where the flag of Scotland supposedly came from.
The Jacobite rebellion. As a Fraser, that's a very hard subject for me to remember and talk about. Culloden Moor.... so many of our ghosts dwell there. My grandfather tells me stories of what it was like. I hope to go there with him one day and pay our respects. I am Protestant, not Catholic, but it's still a momentous day in our history
@@EinDeutscherPatriot620 okay but I mean for the Jacobite rebellions I would love to see videos on the underrated stuff that happened before culloden like the Jacobite rising in 1689 like the battles of Killiecrankie and Cromdale and also the Jacobite rising of 1719 and the battle of Glen Shiel and I would like to see the battle of Glen Shiel because fighting on the side of the Jacobites was Scottish born Spanish, Russian and Prussian general and Field Marshal James Keith who was responsible for putting empress Elizabeth of Russia on the throne however James Keith is best known for fighting and Dying in the service of Frederick the Great king of Prussia.
Just saying but I would also love to see a videos on the rough wooing, the battle of Neville’s cross, the battle of Flodden, battle of Renfrew and also Scotlands involvement in the war of the 3 kingdoms and their involvement in the war includes wars like the bishops wars and also the battles of James Graham 1st marquees of montrose and the third civil war which included the 1650 battle of Dunbar and the battle of Worcester and the battle of Worcester ended the war of the 3 kingdoms and in the aftermath of the battle 8,000 Scottish prisoners were deported to New England, Bermuda, and the West Indies were sent to be indentured servants.
Wow what a battle. Brilliant tactics by Robert the Bruce. Great episode
He has a really good statue of in my hometown and I always pass it on the way to visit my folks.
About 4 years ago - the time when all those idiots were defacing statues - tried to depict him as a racist & undeserving of such recognition - and tried to damage it.
As you can imagine, none of them got near it and more than one got a bit of a kicking.
Although someone did return at night with paint - which was washed off by rush hour…
I've watched your videos for many years. The effort, graphics, narration, and history knowledge are outstanding and improving every time, thank you so much for all the work you do, i recommend you to friends and family often, keep it up guys 🙏
👁👅👁
This is outstanding! Well done
I’ve been watching your channel for so long now, I love history and military history as it the thing that shaped our world and countries, keep it up mate
I can't get enough of these longer videos. Excellent stuff!
This is such an excellent presentation.
So happy to have found this channel. Was always a fan of Baz Battles and great to find another that shows battle history in just as great of detail
Simply brilliant. History brought to us at this quality over CZcams that tv shows struggle to do with much higher budgets. love the narration and attention to detail here as per usual from your channel
I love the little nod to the holy grail, made me smile. Great work as always! Keep it up!
I love you History Marche, there it is.. that's how I feel. Thanks for all the videos.
So awesome. This is better than any history class I've ever taken and subsequently should be a mandated part of the history curriculum in any/all levels of education.
Video was excellent and took a complex series of events in Scottish history and simplified it. The historical significance of the series of battles & their sequence was fantastic. The tactics & usage of terrain is explained. That, along with the political ramifications of the period gives it 👍👍👍. Really learned some history, presented in an enjoyable manner!
I love this channel. I don't believe we are getting all these content for free.
Bravo guys.
Well pay for it not hard
@@tobiasgriffin okay man. I will.
Finding channels like this as a history nerd is like striking gold
Edward longshanks was a magnificent leader and king. A great general, as well. A study on his life would be a good one. He literally broke out of captivity, fled and built an army then came back and defeated Simon demontfort and regained the kingdom for his father (who was also in captivity). Interesting story.
As a Scot, even I have a grudging respect for him. There's no disputing that he was a great King and military commander.
@@robertb1999 who got destroyed by the Bruce
@@SGuy889 no he didn't. That was his son Edward II who hasn't a tenth of the man his father was.
@Robert B so wallaces death was deserved? Along with Bruce's family. Simon Fraser etc. He was an awful pig of a man who's soul stinks in hell
Not sure the souls massacred in Berwick would agree. An awful cruel king.
Thank you for this video, brilliant
It's a great thing when y'all do the long videos. I watched these as they premiered, but I recently subbed Bert's Battles. I must have missed the credit to Bert. Got to have another look with a different eye. HistoryMarche is one of my top 5 subbed channels. Cheers from Tennessee
I just started watching this video out of curiosity and me being Scottish. I am 18 minutes in and thoroughly enjoying the show.
Awesome video, it clarified a lot regarding William Wallace part in the war, thanks for the nice documentary
fantastic work! thank you for making and uploading this.
This is documentary level stuff here. Fantastic content. I am absolutely loving it.
Time to watch this most excellent series again :D
You better do right by them, algorithm.

Brilliant video
Outstanding thanks
Great stuff!
Nice series!
Love learning about my namesake town! It was sacked so many times:*[ had family on both sides though.
*berwick was changed hands 13 times in the Middle Ages according to encyclopedia Britannica. It changed hands during the anarchy and it was usually first to fall whenever the scots made their first incursions.
Most wonderful introduction & informative episodes about Scottish struggled for independent...how French intervened against( United Kingdom) 🇬🇧 in several occasions ...(history Marche) channel .. really, it's a great historical coverage channel...allot thanks 😊 👍🏻 🙏 👏🏻 😀
Oh dear there was no UK it was formed in the 18th century when Scotland and England United under the Act of Union in 1707. Ie 400 years later❤

Good stuff
This is the best channel on CZcams
Freeeeeeeedommmmm!
It's the somber music that does it.
Thanks!
Thanks so much for your support! This directly contributes to funding more videos. Very kind of you!
FREEDOM!
great video
i think Georgian fight for freedom during Davit The builder era and eventually forming Regional power is exactly what you call "This is how you win your freedom "
FREEEEEEEEEEDOM!!!!
Great way to learn about history
I wish you completed the Hannibal series. The production quality is one of the if not the best out of all CZcams history channels yet I rarely stop by because of your lack of systemic uploads. It sucks when great history channels upload a bit from here a bit from there. Instead I, and I'm sure many others, would appreciate more systemic series based uploads. Alas, I guess the most efficient way to generate new clicks is random uploads from here and there.
FREEDOM
After all the years between then and now. We are finally ready to take our independence again.
PARABÉNS PELOS VÍDEOS! GRANDE CANAL! VIVA A HISTÓRIA!
What I would have given for these to be whole classes worth of school back in the day. History would have been so much more fun
Best content creator on CZcams rn
The battles short. The celebrations 🎉
Interesting history, the best kind of history
yeah you have good content, I shall subscribe and upvote.
