  1. i went from thinking edward II was a brute, then believing him merely a man of his time and capable commander to now assuming him to be a brutish, foolish twink
    (meanwhile mortimer and Isabella were little better, just a hypocritic adulteress and another overly ambitious wanabe king.

  2. ………HMMMMM……INDEED PROS BEAT NOOBS UNTIL NOOBS WILL BECOME PROS themselves

    ………….I GUESS THAT REFLECTS WHAT HAPPENED THERE LIKE perfectly

  3. I’ll never understand why he’s called “the Bruce” since “de Bruce” means “of Bruce”. Is it just a case of Anglophones mistaking the French “de” for “le”? Or what? Anyone know?

  4. if you could, for the unit squares, at the start of the video, could you put up a break down of what each square represent?

    Like:
    X square = infantry
    / square = cavalary
    Star squares = professional divisions

  5. Bruce, the Caledonian/Norman king. Brus is a townland in Normandy. Robert I de Brus, 1st Lord of Annandale and 1st Lord of Skelton (c. 1078–1141), was an early 12th-century Anglo-Norman lord and the first of the Bruce dynasty to hold lands in Scotland.
