Описание к видео The Ancient Origins Of Medieval Scotland's Most Feared Military Tactics | Warriors Way | Chronicle

The renowned reputation of Scottish clans as formidable warriors traces its roots back to the Picts, who, despite Hadrian's Wall, continuously plundered Roman Britain through sea raids. With a blend of Viking and Celtic blood, an array of weaponry, including battle axes and blades, was developed. Scottish men were raised with a warrior mindset, crucial for facing their natural adversary, England. Despite typically engaging in internecine conflicts, the clans united in a fierce war of independence from 1296 onwards. This resistance was sparked when Edward I (the 'Hammer of the Scots,) claimed the Scottish throne for his puppet, only to be cleverly defeated by the rebellious upstart William Wallace, who met a gruesome end after ultimate defeat.
