Opening The Coffin Of Robert The Bruce

One of the most iconic Scottish Kings was Robert the Bruce, a man who led the nation during the First Wart of Scottish Independence against the English. He did manage to restore Scotland to being an independent nation during his reign, and he is considered a hero today alongside others such as William Wallace. He was a man who took on the might of Edward I, the English King who was known as the Hammer of the Scots, but he was someone who was able to consolidate his power through defeating rebels and those who did not support him. At the Battle of Bannockburn he managed to mastermind the defeat of the much larger English army of Edward II of England, but Robert the Bruce did die in June 1329, and his remains were subject to a significant amount of shocking treatment after as his heart was buried somewhere else and his internal organs were also buried in another place with his corpse and body being interred elsewhere. He was actually buried in 3 different locations. Join us today as we look at opening the coffi
