Here's a little fun fact for our Game of Thrones audience; the Red Wedding scene was actually inspired by some of King Robert I's shenanigans! That's got you interested hasn't it? It turns out that Robert the Bruce was very much the macabre character himself. Well, what would you expect from one of the most fearsome Scottish kings who ever lived?
Back in the 1300s, it wasn't all sitting around in fancy golden outfits - during his rule, Robert the Bruce led the Scottish people during the wars of independence against England and succeeded. There's no wonder he's still hailed as a national hero to this day in Scotland for his bludgeoner bravery. It saw him live for a relatively long time as a warrior king, until the age of 55 when he passed away in 1329.
