Great video, its strange as the story of Robert The Bruce is the one that seems to be told far more, its good that you have shared the story of William Wallace

You should have played Harald Foss for some of the audio for this

Notice all the Anglo-Saxon kings prior to 1066 were blonde

how did he have the strenght to kill 40 warrios? Because Berserkir got high as fuck before battle and litteraly didnt feel shit

Not Islam but Zoroastrianism.

I liked the content but the music was killing me.

Colored the eyes red🤣🤣🇺🇸

We decided that if we ever had another son we would name him Baldwin after this Saint. Several years later our son was born quite ill 8 days too late and after a few a months I thought we should look in the calendar to see what date his nämen day/Saint Day would be. To our Great suprise we discovered that he had been born on July 15th, Saint Baldwin's official feast day. I will always keep this in my heart. He is still a bit fragile but doing well. I pray that my son Will grow upp to bravely love the Lord like his patron Saint.

The battle started at Wednesfield the vikings driven backwards to the area of Tettenhall, local historians worked out the final stand was at an area around Tettenhall Rock an high point in that area.

Danes got what was coming to them

1. de Moray was the leader of the Scots army at Stirling Bridge. He was the senior Man, the experienced soldier. Wallace was nothing more than a 'scrapper'. 2. This is not Wallace's sword. It's far too large and unwieldy. This sword is a 15th century piece created by King James IV. It is made up of 3 different swords. It is rumoured that Wallace's actual sword was smelted with another 2 swords in order to create this piece. This is a ceremonial sword, or at very best, a sword used for duelling. 3. Wallace most certainly was not 6'6" or taller. The average height at the time was 5'5". What was considered tall then, would then not be considered tall today. Wallace may have been tall by comparison to others. Historians believe Wallace was perhaps 5'8" - 5'10", certainly not the giant he's described as in chronicles written 150-200 years after his death. 4. Wallace showed his lack of military understanding at Falkirk. Once word had reached Longshanks(who was in Linlithgow), that Wallace was only 7 miles away (at modern day Shield Hill), Wallace would also have been aware that Longshanks was once more on the march. Wallace had Callander Wood to his rear, he should've used that to his advantage and retreated towards Stirling. At very worst, Longshanks would've caught up prior to him reaching Stirling, but he could then have utilised the guerilla tactics, ambushing Longshanks army, rendering his cavalry and archers useless. Had he managed to reach Stirling, then he meets Longshanks on perhaps the same ground de Moray defeated the English a year earlier. As it was, Wallace showed a complete lack of understanding, and was humiliated as a result. He then ran away to France. Wallace wasn't a freedom fighter. He was no different to any other Noble. He would've gained had Scotland been 'freed' in his lifetime, make no mistake about it. He was in it for himself. He was being heavily taxed, which he obviously didn't enjoy, so he wanted 'home rule' so his taxes would be reduced. The image we have today of Wallace is an overly romanticised picture painted by the Georgians, and the Victorians. Wallace was an itch on Longshanks rear end which Longshanks eventually decided to get rid of. Many people were executed the same way Wallace had been. It was as common in Medieval times as Crucifixion had been centuries earlier. As Scots, we have to start learning real history, not this romanticised nonsense we've been getting taught for the last 150-200 years.

What movie or show are the picutres of these clips from? It's got to be some movie?

Now, I'm ready for my nap!!

I find it quite funny that the surname Wallace mean Welsh. QI

This was absolutely fascinating! Thank you for the incredible research and excellent commentary! Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

If her life story disappears out of historical annals after 1066 why do you have her death in 1086?

Don't have Netflix and never will.

Unfortunately this is only the sensational “gossip” version of the story. In reality it is more likely that this story was made up due to political reasons and to silence her and to lose credibility. It’s a pity the more likely scenario wasn’t mentioned at all, at least briefly

Nicely done documentary sir. Everything seems to be on point.

Of course, it was Satan ruling the Catholic Church he always has look at their history. The Catholic Church was determined to wipe out every Christian field with the Holy Spirit, who was trying to preach the worst word of God, so that soul will be saved, but the Catholic Church agenda was to destroy souls, burn them at the stake, and destroy the word of God because they were ruled by Satanbeing tyrants, trying to rule and Lord over God this is just one of the popes there’s been worse more wicked popes than this

Man is my great grandfather. I’m nearly 100% Norwegian. A pretty interesting family tree. Fairhair is my fathers side, and my great uncle from my mothers side is Vidkun Quisling. Complete polar opposites of Norwegian history

I don't know how I got here, but I'm glad I did. You have a great knack for making what to me is quite obscure historical content and making it extremely watchable. Very interesting indeed.

Wonderful story! I'd never heard of Edith before and would love to know what happened to her. This is one of my favorite documentaries.

There’s a Obviously a Difference between English Kings and Kings of England, the Kings of England between 1066-1399, weren’t “English”…because they didn’t even Speak English, because they considered it, the Language of their Serf (actual) English Subjects…

Absolutely the most disgusting monster ever in human form , I read about other horifc killers like Randy Kraft, Toolbox killers ,Andrei Chikatilo, Richard Chase, Fred West , Dean Croill ,Pedro Lopez and others and read about war crimes like unti 731 and kill crimes like Junko Furto which were absolutely disturbing but this pure evill monster Peter Niers was the worst also I enjoyed listening to 8:05-8:50 so much although he deserved worse!

Thank you for sharing this with people that don't know the real story or just seen the movie. You have to give it to William Wallace he was devoted to his country freedom that's what you call a true patriot. I bet you he's disappointed & rolling in his grave knowing that Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom. The only thing I don't like is people call his sword a claymore when it is not it will be considered a great or long sword

Moral of the story, don’t leave your archers in the north. And never, ever break the shield wall.

"Every man dies, not every man really lives."

Please do some great English Knights = Marmaduke Thweng - Ralph Stafford (hundred yrs war) - Bartholomew Burghersh the Younger and his father the elder - Robert Umfraville of redesdale - Francis Vere (Spanish/Dutch wars).

The one thing I'm learning from these videos is that everybody back them was really good looking.

Paul McCartney 2.0/William Wallace Shepherd/Billy Shears may possibly go back to the Wallace family tree: "Sage of Quay® - Decoding Paul “Billy Shears” McCartney’s Family Tree (Sep 2023)" ruclips.net/video/xYNkwsTncIM/видео.html 54m (Who were the parents of Billy Shears (aka Paul McCartney)? Beatles researcher, Stacy, presents her research into the possible identity of Billy Shears' family and lineage. Her journey took her back to William Wallace, Sir William Douglas, Robert the Bruce, Sir James Douglas, and the 14th Duke of Hamilton)

I'm getting my nails done and have time to kill. So, with nothing to do I watched your video. Once I research your facts and check your credentials I will possible believe what your saying.

The way Wallace was executed was *(imo)* what really caused the English to lose that war: they made him a martyr, and nothing is more powerful an inspiration to fight than that; the gruesome post-execution treatment of Wallace’s remains only worsened that mistake, leading to England’s defeat and Scotland’s indipendence.

66 sounds like a long full life for those days right?

Hey you guys do know that the name braveheart is associated with Robert the Bruce not William Wallace. When the Bruce died they cut out his heart and put it in a box. And would carry it into battle, people would say there goes his braveheart.

Great episode, thanks for creating watchable content that stands out from the rest. Cheers from Canada

4:06 i feel like the show captured lady akechi well… even the painting of her is beautiful to the modern eye, which is rare for me to think of the artistic portrayals of women in history. the show even captured her melancholic nature. ancient women can be so fascinating. great video!

Amazing video mate, learned so much from it. Definitely one of the most brutal deaths in history!

I can’t imagine such a horrendous death!

Your work never, ever, disappoints!! Great research, great narration, great music and visuals. This was especially inspiring to me, the daughter of countless generations of Scots (and Englishmen too!). Many thanks for the wonderful video!! 💯💯💯💯💥 Ciao! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙂

Thanks Ollie. Just finished watching the movie of William last night. This was appreciated. 🥰

Scotland needs a William Wallace to come back for present day.

I really Enjoyed "BRAVEHEART" with "MEL GIBSON"...I RECOMMEND the Movie if anyone hasn't seen it. You did an Excellent job in Re-telling the Story of WILLIAM WALLACE..YOUR NARRATION IS SO CLEAR, WITH YOUR WONDERFUL ACCENT. THANK YOU FOR THIS HISTORICAL/ EDUCATIONAL VIDEO. 🎉PAMELA

You tell your king, that William Wallace will not be ruled, nor any Scot

Great job once again Ollie! I thought I would have missed the episode on William Wallace. Now if someone would make an intelligent and more factual film about him.

Proud to call Scotland HOME!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
