Ten Minute English and British History #13 - The First Scottish War of Independence.

Twitter: / tenminhistory
Patreon: www.patreon.com/user?u=4973164
This episode covers the wake of Alexander III's death and Scotland's search for an heir. This led to Edward I of England's intervention and after his dominance was rejected by the Scottish, Edward sought to conquer instead. William Wallace and later King Robert the Bruce were the leaders of the Scottish resistance which eventually saw England defeated and Scotland remain independent.
Recommended books:
A. Barrell, Medieval Scotland (2000). A great overview of the period but its scope is much broader than this episode.
G. Barrow, Kingship and Unity: Scotland, 1100-1306 (2003). Much greater focus than the above.
M. Morris, A Great and Terrible King: Edward I and the forging of Britain (2008). For an overview of England and its aims during the Scottish Wars of Independence.
Ten Minute English and British History is a series of short, ten minute animated narrative documentaries that are designed as revision refreshers or simple introductions to a topic. Please note that these are not meant to be comprehensive and there's a lot of stuff I couldn't fit into the episodes that I would have liked to. Thank you for watching, though, it's always appreciated.

    Yeah im suprised they did. England is arguing with like 2 or 3 small countries about returning culturally relevant shit that was taken to a british musueum from colonial times. There argument is basically "were not done looking at it, your welcome to come look whenever. If your visas go through"

Btw, Wallace is a Norman name for Welshman, which implies he had Cumbric ancestors, who were cousins of the Welsh. Your ignorance about alot of British history is Staggering.

    Yeah, there was an attempt by Scottish nationalist students to steal it in the 50's from Westminster Abbey that succeeded, but it was eventually returned after a few weeks. Then when it was sent back to Scone in 1996, it was agreed that whilst it was housed there, whenever a new Monarch is crowned at Westminster, it is to be returned to Westminster Abbey for the Coronation.

    One important note that was missed is that Robert Bruce (King of Scots) only sided with Edward because of his father, Robert Bruce the competitor, but once he died Bruce broke his oath to England for Scottish independence. He for sure acted on his own political gain to be crowned King but also was very aware of the importance the war had on the Scottish realm. J.W.S Barrow's book on Robert The Bruce and the Community of the Realm of Scotland provides a brilliant source on the Scottish side of the war for any interested in it!

    I'm fully aware of this. Furthermore I always root for the underdog. I found the "You have been Walesed" funny not because Wales is a pushover, but because the joke is ironic. Similarly, France was usually an influential player in Europe, a great power and a superpower for brief spells, but that doesn't prevent jokes which say that "France always loses its' wars", which are based solely on their spectacular and more recent defeat in WW2., not on their history as a whole.

    The actual historical events are a lot better than Braveheart.

Winning with less numbers and using a bottleneck would've been a fun action scene to watch I'm amazed they didn't do it.

    Great series. In fact, excellent history videos all round. However I am puzzled by many of the pronunciations, as the narrator sounds as if (British) English is his first language. Are they pronounced as they would sound at the time? For example, Berwick is usually pronounced Berrik and Maldon is usually pronounced Moorlldun. There are some others too. I admit it is nit picking, but as a native (British) English speaker myself, it does sound odd. Otherwise keep up the good work. I have recommended the series to several other people.

    Huntingdonshire (now just a section of Cambridgeshire) was one of those parts actually controlled by Scotland, a legacy of the slightly more amiable relationship of Anglo Saxon England & Scotland. Because King Davids dynasty had partial Anglo Saxon ancestry, those Normans just assumed they controlled Scotland too by default.

    As someone who is Scottish I'm used to have the highly romanticised and dull history shoved down my throat in school so to see an outside perspective that takes in the bigger picture was highly entertaining, and also shows how rubbish schools are at teaching history (i had no clue that Scotland invaded Ireland and the narrative i was taught gave the impression willy wallace was captured at Bannockburn). So thanks for the great work!!
