Robert the Bruce and the Murder of John Comyn (Guest: Dr. Callum Watson)

Hello and welcome to Medieval Murder, the podcast that brings all things gruesome and historical to the comfort of your own home or car or wherever it is you’re listening from. My name is Hannah Purtymun and I’m here with my father Kevin Purtymun to discuss some of the most famous and infamous murders that took place in the Medieval and Early Modern periods.

Today we will be talking to Dr. Callum Watson, a specialist in medieval Scottish history. Callum received his PhD at the University of Edinburgh with a thesis entitled “'Attitudes Towards Chivalry in Barbour's Bruce and Hary's Wallace” in 2016 and has since been working as a Battlemaster at the Battle of Bannockburn Experience and as a Steward at Blackness Castle.
