lol. I can't help but wonder what Sir John Strickley would have thought about being called "a bit of beefcake" by the ladies of the team? The thought of it makes me laugh. Given that he was a fish eater and a duly sworn knight, I don't know that he would have seen the moniker in the same jovial light. But it is truly lovely that this team were able to bring Sir John back from the depths of oblivion. It's stuff like this that makes me a true Anglophile. Love it!

West Winds My plan was to become an archaeologist, preferably specialising in physical anthropology but was unable to major in it for my B.A as they weren’t offering the 2 final units I needed to complete my degree within the time allotted (I worked full time and we started our family while I was studying). I’m a hopeless Anglophile as well and we plan to emigrate there in the next decade. Such a beautiful country, I could never be bored living there. So much history, and most of it fascinating. Such diversity in such a tiny nation, and the people we met were all lovely.

Please make more episodes it is sooo fascinating, I love this sort of programme

I'm related to two Scottish families that I know of, the Grahams and the Gunns. I traced my lineage back to the mid 1500s with the help of Ancestry and the records that the Mormon church maintains. The Gunns were almost completely wiped out by a rival clan. There are remains of the Gunn castle on the east coast of Scotland. Many of the Grahams fought and died at the battle of Culloden. I find history very interesting. This show is great! I hope they make more like it.

Me again, the square injuries on the female skull look like the blows from the spiked side of a war hammer rather than a mace, the mace would probably cave more of the skull in, the spike of a war hammer tends to make a clean squarish puncture but very deep and more of a killing or disabling strike. I am surprised at the lady experts lack of knowledge about dried or salt fish being available so far from the sea. Its been used a long way from the sea way before these dates.

I downloaded the video and when I tried to watch it, it keeps on prompting me to retry to connect. Even when online it doesn't want to play. So now I'm wondering, will I be refunded for the Megabytes when I downloaded this video and now it doesn't play?

​@@alesiaalbers6740 Fostering (fosterage) was when clan leaders, and sometimes those in different social classes, sent their kids to live with other families when they were around the age of 7. The foster family would educate them on what they needed to know, depending on whatever their gender and social status was, until they were considered an adult. It was a way to create or strengthen bonds/alliances with other clans.

I imagine him as being the local blacksmith who, being charged with helping in the defence of Stirling while the lord was away, served as nobly as any knight but was slaughtered by the English along with his wife. I'd say he was buried there as a token of respect for his loyalty unto death. But that's just imagining. I wouldn't pretend I had access to these scientific tests and eminent historians.

I want to find this interesting, but I hate how they spend so much time talking about what they're going to do instead of just actually doing it. If they cut out the interminable setup this thing would be half as long.

There was armour around, the higher your status in life the better armour you could afford to buy..I think chain mail was starting to go out of fashion during Sir John's time, as you saw in the video it is very heavy and restricted easy movement.. It also caused more problems than it solved, if a knight in full armour was fighting in boggy conditions the weight of chain mail etc could weigh you down to the point where he would drown rather than being cut down by a weapon. Chain mail was invented really to help stop arrows and it did for a while, but then someone made an arrow to pierce through it and of course Chain mail became pretty ineffective after that. So Armour was constantly changing through the centuries just as weapons were to defeat it. Just out of interest as well some peasant soldiers did have armour, but like as not they stole off the dead after the battle was over....
