A proposito di questo titolo

Before Robert the Bruce became Scotland's hero-king, he murdered his rival John Comyn at the altar of Greyfriars Kirk in Dumfries in 1306. This episode dives into the bitter feud between the Bruce and Comyn families, a power struggle that tore apart the Scottish resistance and paved the way for Bruce's crown. We explore the origins of the rivalry in the contested succession after Alexander III's death, the Comyns' role as guardians of Scotland, and the brutal logic of Bruce's calculated strike. Listeners will encounter names like John II Comyn, William Wallace, and Edward I of England, and hear how a single act of sacrilege turned Bruce from claimant to outlaw king. The episode also examines the legacy of this feud in clan politics and the national mythos, asking whether Bruce's victory was a triumph of ambition or a necessary evil for Scotland's survival.
