Fact of the Day
Robert the Bruce assassinated his chief rival to the throne of Scotland, John "Red" Comyn, on this day in 1306. The two rivals met at the altar of a church in Dumfries and argument quickly ensued. Bruce, unable to contain his rage at Comyn, stabbed his enemy in front of the altar.
Booner:
Thanks Bobbie, I really enjoy these.

Graham Thompson:
Sweet go Robert the Bruce.

Fact of the Day
The Massacre of Glencoe occurred on this day in 1692, in which 34 men, two women and two children, members of the Macdonald clan, were slaughtered by Campbells and other soldiery on government orders after inadvertent failure of clan chief to sign allegiance to William III.
Graham Thompson:
Those clans sound familiar. Where they mentioned in Braveheart?
