When King Edward Longshanks heard of the shock Scottish victory in France he immediately ordered another army assembled and in 1298 went north himself to deal with the upstart.
Sir William used scorched earth tactics to starve the large English army of supplies, sapping its morale and causing desertion from its ranks; however, by late July Wallace had been sighted near Falkirk and Edward moved to confront him...

The real hero of Scottish independence?
Robert the Bruce and his family switched sides between the patriot and English, but following his murder of John Comyn on February 10th 1306, the Bruce finally committed himself to freeing Scotland and ruling as its king.
After suffering some initial defeats, notably the Battle of Methven (June 19th, 1306), Robert rallied in 1307, showing incredible resilience, courage and intelligence, using the land of Scotland itself to defeat the English under Aymer de Valence at the Battle of Loudoun Hill (1307).
With the death of King Edward Longshanks, Loudoun Hill marked the turning point in King Robert's fortunes. After slowly retaking Scotland, he finally triumphed at Bannockburn in 1314, expelling the English from his kingdom and dealing King Edward II a crippling blow to his reputation...
Stay tuned to Past Tenz in the coming weeks as I chart the course of King Robert's fight for freedom, with the Battles of Methven and Loudon Hill coming soon...
If you were an English occupier in late 1296, you may have been forgiven for assuming that all Scots resistance had been snuffed out with the crushing and decisive conquest of King Edward Longshanks that year, however, if so then you seriously misjudged the situation...
All around Scotland, small acts of defiance poked the embers of resistance into a bright flame of resurgence that found leaders in William Wallace and Andrew Murray. Having joined forces and retaken Dundee castle both men moved their army to intercept an English host under the Earl of Surrey and the hated Hugh de Cressingham, Edward's Treasurer...
The two armies confronted each other at Stirling Bridge: the English needed to remove this Scots army to advance into the north of the kingdom; the Scots resolved to stop them and had a nasty surprise in store for the English army and their King Edward Longshanks...

By 1296, the Scots had had enough and a Council seized power, forcing Balliol to defy Edward. Edward responded by preparing for war, seeing the Scots and Balliol as defaulting vassals. For their part, the Scots braced for Edward's wrath as the invasion of 1296 commenced...

In 1286, the Kingdom of Scotland lost its king. With the death of the childless King Alexander III, the Kingdom's hopes rested on the small shoulders of his granddaughter and heir Margaret, the Maid of Norway.
Following a streak of particularly nasty dynastic bad luck - Alexander had lost his wife, then all of his children - his only heir was the daughter of Margaret, his only daughter, who had married the King of Norway.
To ensure a smooth succession, the Scots and Norse consulted Scotland's neighbour England and King Edward I stepped in arranging for his son and heir to marry the Maid in what would have eventually resulted in a union of the Crowns; however, Edward's dreams of a united Britain soon unravelled with the news of the Maid's death en route to Scotland...

The Seal of Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale, grandfather of THE Robert the Bruce and one of two main claimants to the throne of Scotland during the Great Cause.
The Bruces had a long tradition of collaboration with the English and, like many Scottish nobles, held lands in both Scotland and England.
Robert's claim to the throne came from his mother - Isobel of Huntingdon - second daughter of David of Scotland, brother to King William the Lion (1142-1214).
Unfortunately for him, John Balliol was adjudged to have the better claim being descended from the granddaughter of David's first daughter and hence being first in line (in terms of primogeniture, but not in proximity of blood).
However, despite never becoming king, his grandson Robert rose as Scotland's preeminent resistance leader in the Scottish War of Independence and eventually became king, sealing his hold over Scotland with his victory at Bannockburn in 1314...
Margaret, also known as the "Maid of Norway" was the Queen designate of the Kingdom of Scotland following the death of the childless King of Scots, Alexander III.
Alexander had married the sister of Edward Longshanks, with the latter even attending the ceremony. The royal couple sired three children - Alexander, David and Margaret, however, each died after Queen Margaret herself in a particularly nasty streak of dynastic bad luck, leaving the king alone and childless...
When Alexander himself died in 1286 after falling from a cliff on his way to Kinghorn, all hopes for a smooth succession were pinned on Alexander's granddaughter Margaret, the daughter of the King of Norway and his own daughter.
From 1286 to 1290 she was the Queen designate and it was even arranged for the Maid to marry the King of England's son and heir Edward of Caernarfon, a remarkable prospect given this would have eventually unified the Crowns of England and Scotland 296 year earlier if Edward still died in 1307 or slightly later if it was Edward and Margaret's heir who succeeded to the Crowns of both Kingdoms.
Alas, the Maid died in Orkney, while en route to Scotland and the Succession was thrown wide open in the Great Cause...

1282 was a year of disaster for the last native Prince of Wales, Llywelyn ap Gruffyd. Following his severe defeat in 1277-8, he was confined to the north-western ancestral territories of Gwynedd, with his traitorous brother having been gifted two of the Four Cantrefs to his east...
Dafydd, unhappy with his lands, rebelled in 1282, eventually sucking in his brother. However, as the rebellion of 1282 lengthened, Llewelyn's position became untenable: kettled into Gwynedd and facing imminent invasion from multiple directions, he managed to beat back an attack across a bridge from Luke De Tany's 2000-strong army in Anglesey...
Using this lull in the hostilities, Llywelyn struck southwards to open up another front in Middle Wales, however, his army was met with a considerable Coalition force of Marcher Lords and Powys men at the Orewin Bridge...

Edward then proceeded to raise an army that heavily outnumbered the Rebel Barons, trapping them at Evesham and slaughtering many, including De Montfort himself. It is probable that Thomas De Clare's assistance, helped to cement Gilbert's new alliance with the Royalists...

However, Dafydd was not content with the spoils and still coveted what he saw as his fair share of the ancestral lands in Gwynedd. In 1282, Daffyd made his move, sparking copycat attacks all over Wales that would descend into all out war for the future of Wales...

Rhuddlan Castle, North Wales. One of Edward's key bases of power as he reclaimed the Four Cantrefs region, lost with Llywelyn's conquest and the subsequent Treaty of Montgomery (1267).
Along with Flint, it was a key stepping stone to tightening his grip on north Wales during the 1277 campaign and was instrumental in the later 1282 campaign.
The Domain of Prince Llywelyn ap Gruffud, following the 1267 Treaty of Montgomery.
The Treaty was an historical landmark given it was the first time an English king - King Henry III (1216-72) - acknowledged a native Prince of Wales.
Llywelyn's conquests and suzerainty over other Welsh lords and princes was officially recognised by the English king, ushering in a decade of relative "peace" between Llywelyn and the Crown.
Other smaller conflicts continued to blight the "peace" however, as will be recounted in an upcoming video on Saturday 8th February (2020)...

Unlike his father Henry, Edward kept his vow to go on Crusade, under the leadership of King Louis IX of France. However, with Louis' death in 1270 outside of Tunis in North Africa, Edward headed east to the Holy Land as the leader of his own Crusade...

After years of corruption at the local level, foreigners gaining influence and favours at court and King Henry's financial demands, a group of disgruntled barons, led by Simon de Montfort, finally confront King Henry III in 1258 to demand radical reform of how the realm is ruled... The resultant Provisions of Oxford were revolutionary for the time and arguably just as important as the earlier Magna Carta (of 1215), however, King Henry and especially his son and heir Prince Edward, will not give up their ancient rights and powers without a fight...

Following 1066 and the ascension of William the Conqueror as King, the monarchs and nobles of England were decidedly "French," which begs the question as to why (after 173 years) would the (culturally French) King Henry III name his son "Edward" in 1239, an old Anglo-Saxon name? In addition, Prince Edward, later known as Longshanks (due to his height), is also reckoned "the first" of his name, despite other "Edwards" coming before. In this video I explore these questions as the first of a series on the life, times and reign of King Edward Longshanks...

It's been over ten years since his greatest victory at the Battle of Hastings, but King William the Conqueror is far from his best. Once known as the iron arm, with a matching iron will, William had only recently seen off a conspiracy to dethrone him in 1075, but now enters an era of defeats, with the last at the Siege of Gerberoy (1078-9 AD) being particularly humiliating...

Following his troubled coronation on Christmas Day 1066, King William was under no illusion that his reign would be peaceful and did not have long to wait for a series of rebellions to ensue... Most notable among these was the 1068 defiance of the city of Exeter, led by the mother of William's nemesis at Hastings, the late King Harold Godwinson!

Following his victory over Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, William may have hoped for a swift submission of the remaining English magnates, however, his kingship was far from secure. Having elected the child Edgar Atheling to the kingship, William cut a swathe through south-east England en route to London itself. After terrorising the inhabitants into accepting him as king, William was crowned on Christmas Day, 1066... But if the English hoped this day would be the starting point of a peaceful reign, they would be shocked...

It's 25th September, 1066 AD and the legendary King of Norway Harald Hardrada waits for hostages to submit to him, following his recent victory over a small English army at the Battle of Fulford, however, it is not a forlorn group of hostages that his men can see approaching them near Stamford Bridge, but an angry royal army under the King of England Harold Godwinson...

Having invaded England from the North and attacked the Northumbrian coast, King Harald Hardrada and his ally Tostig, the brother of the English king Harold Godwinson, met an English force commanded by the brothers Edwin and Morcar at a place called Fulford... The date is September 20th, 1066 and the first of three great battles to determine who rules England is about to begin!

In the autumn of 1066 AD, King Harold Godwinson, the new King of England guarded the southern coast in anticipation of a Norman invasion, led by William, Duke of Normandy, to claim his crown... ...but unknown to him, another great pretender to his throne had landed far north, the awesome Viking and King of Norway Harald Hardrada. But who was the man behind the last great Viking invasion of England? YouTube Version: https://youtu.be/xsEeKl6YWtA Facebook: @PastTenzChannel This is Past Tenz: history videos in under 10 minutes.

Did Harold Godwinson, the man who seized the English throne in January 1066 really swear and oath to Duke William of Normandy to help William become king when Edward the Confessor died? Was the oath important? Did it happen? Even if it did was Harold right to seize the throne rather than help William? In this talk, I consider these questions and the story behind the famous oath and Harold's tragic trip to Normandy in 1064...
