History of Scotland

The British Government and the House of Hanover.

The Jacobite rebellion was the support of the Stuart claim to the throne believing that James II and VII and his heirs was the legitimate King of England and Scotland (or Great Britain after 1707) which led to risings lasting from 1688 to 1746. The major ones in 1715 and 1745. It was finally brought to an effective end in the battle of Culloden in 1746. After Charles Edward Stuart's (Bonnie Prince Charlie) death his brother Henry and blood descendants have never asserted any claim.

While The Bruce was sneaking around and hiding out in caves in the Highlands he noticed a spider who restored it's web each and every time it was destroyed. This, purportedly gave Robert the conficence to keep to his work.

The English thought their cavalry, armoured knights on horseback, would win the battle for them: How wrong can you be....

Hume called women the weak and pious sex, and said men gallantly defer to them, concealing their superiority, especailly in polite company, since women were "sovereigns of the empire of conversation." But he withdrew this essay, and in less frivolous vein he pointed out that women have the power to break any conspiracy to deny them rights, since they have the power to conceal from their men who fathered the children they bear, and men, especially propertied men, desperately want such knowledge. So some feminists, such as Joan Tronto,have hailed him as ahead of his time. Hume also believed Elizabeth Tudor was one of England's ablest rulers, and praised the heroism of Joan of Arc.

The year was 1305. That makes it the 14th century.

She was nearly 16 when she married her first husband, Francis II of France.

he is believed to be loaded because he was the second son of a minor noble but noone really knows.

His Head was set on a spike at London Bridge,His right leg was taken to Berwick Upon Tweed, and his left to Perth, his left arm to Stirling and his right arm hung above the bridge at Newcastle-upon-Tyne 'over the common sewer'.

Because Calloden was lost and he was a coward.

Alex Salmond is the current leader of the Scottish National Party and is currently the First Minister of Scotland. Alex Salmond has led the party twice, once between 1990 and 2000, and since 2004 to present. Alex Salmond led the SNP to victory in May 2007, forming the first ever SNP government in the Scottish Parliament.

3 that I know of. Stirling Bridge, Louden Hill (or was that Robert the Bruce) and the Bell O' The Brae.

Working class. Manual workers.

William Wallace led a war for independence from England. The English will tell you they did not murder Wallace, rather they executed him for treason and atrocities against civilians during war.

In 'Macbeth,' Banwuo was a real person, who happened to be related to King James I. The character was originally supposed to be a murderer who helped Macbeth kill King Duncan. However, fearing the king might not take too kindly to his relative being called a murderer, Banquo's character was changed into a nobleman.

Well Elizabeth I and Mary,Queen of Scots were both descended from HenryVII of England the first Tudor monarch. Elizabeth was a grandaughter of Henry VII through her father Henry VIII. Mary was a great-grandaughter of Henry VII through his daughter Margaret Tudor who married James IV of Scotland. This in fact makes Mary and Elizabeth first cousins once removed.

Yes.

Living In Britain makes a person British, they are also able to refer to themselves as being scottish. Scottish people most commonly refer to themselves as Scotish rather than British, I am not sure why but I believe it to be because they are distanced from the rest of Great Britain and have a long sanding bitterness towards the English.

James the 1st of England is also James the 6th of Scotland. He's commonly called "James the Sixth and First" unless you are talking about him particularly in relation to one or other kingdom.

He was the King of Scots before inheriting the throne of England when Elizabeth I died. His mother was Mary, Queen of Scots.

Scotland is a country that later became part of a United Kingdom when the Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth the first) died and the next in line to the throne was the King of Scots. King James VI of Scotland took the throne of England to became James I of England as well. Combing the independent Scotland with the rest of the UK. Scotland remains a country, not a state, despite being part of the UK.

Kein Plan halt.;D

Scotland ranks second to the USA in a comparison between which of the two is bigger.

It is believed he was born in Elderslie, Renfrewshire, very little in known of his early life. His family however are of minor Norman nobility and were followers of Walter Fitzallan, High Steward of Scotland. Before coming to Scotland, they likely lived in Wales or Shorpshire in England. The family appear on the Ragman Rolls as 'Le Waleys'

This is news to me, as far as i know little is known of wallace and his early life, yet his family seem to have come from wales, unbelievable !

the story of William Wallace is very much like the film; you just remove every single little detail of story, scenery, dialogue, and a good bit of the characters, voila.

Yes he had one brother Henry Benedict Thomas Edward Maria Clement Francis Xavier Stuart (11 March 1725 - 13 July 1807), later known as the Cardinal Duke of York.

Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley. He was King James VI of Scotland and James I of England. Queen Mary and her Advisor the Earl of Bothwell were accused of a plot to murder Lord Darnley, his father, when James was just a baby.

He didn't. Wallace was betrayed to the English by a Scots knight named Sir John De Menteith, who was said to have turned over a bannock (a bap or roll of bread) on a tavern table, a sign to the English that he (Wallace) was among them.
