The Women They ERASED From Scotland's Fight For Independence? | Hidden Scottish Women In History

Описание: We all know the well-worn story of Robert the Bruce fighting for his Scottish crown, the battles, and the men who aided him...but what about the women? Isabella MacDuff, Agnes Randolph (better known as 'Black Agnes'), and Christina Bruce all shaped history to either help Robert earn his crown, or keep it. Without Isabella, he would never have had a legitimate crowning. Without Agnes, one of the most important strongholds in Scotland would have fallen, and with his sister, Christina Bruce, he would have lost not only another stronghold but also an important battle against the English. This video looks at the remarkable achievements of these women, and their part in fighting for Scotland's independence...
