Radio Free History E5: Braveheart Revisited

In this episode, our hosts take a deep dive into the age of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce, and set the record straight on a crucial episode that forged the Scottish national identity. https://www.subscribestar.com/radio-free-history https://ko-fi.com/radiofreehistory
