The Scottish Wars of Independence - William Wallace and Robert the Bruce (Part 3)
William Wallace and Robert the Bruce are towering figures in Scottish history, renowned for their fierce resistance against English domination during the Wars of Scottish Independence. Wallace, known for his unyielding spirit and tactical genius, led the Scots to a legendary victory at the Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, embodying the nation's struggle for freedom.
His martyrdom in 1305 only fueled the fire of rebellion. Robert the Bruce, initially a cautious noble, seized the mantle of leadership, ultimately securing Scotland's independence through his decisive victory at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. His strategic acumen and tenacity transformed him into a symbol of Scottish perseverance and sovereignty, leaving a legacy that resonates through the ages.
Join Keith as he takes you through this last, gripping chapter, where he also introduces you to "The Black Douglas".
