A fair point. Something must have got lost in the edit, there. History Extra- "Robert the Bruce's landmark victory over the English at the battle of Bannockburn has secured his place as a hero in the annals of Scottish history. Speaking to Rachel Dinning, historian Helen Carr chronicles the story of the battle and its aftermath" link PS The '18th century media' crosspost was a fat fingers moment I can't undo.

At Bannockburn? Johnson without question. As accounts from poorly informed English nationalists with no grasp of any aspect of battle (or much understanding of a horse) and a desire to find excuses for defeat the podcast is not all that bad……kind of…..ish… If only there was a body of academic work by appropriate scholars that could be consulted. |

I have no idea what is going on with these misdirected posts – perhaps le beurrge – but the fragrant Helen's references to, "Well, a pony really" and King Robert's "mace," obliged me to pause chopping onions momentarily while I shouted at the smart speaker. I felt some among us might enjoy the reference to the "hedghog schiltrons." |

Those would be 'Sonic' the hedgehog schiltrons. Not that I'm a well-qualified research-historian-type expert on the Scottish wars of the early 14th century but I …..oh wait….I AM a well- qualified etc…… |
