The Red Wedding was inspired by not only the Black Dinner, but also the Glencoe Massacre. (I’m a McDonald descendant and still find myself looking suspiciously at Campbells.)

@juliewiggers3585 Legend has it that you don't reveal your true identity in the Glen if you're a Campbell... Thank you so much for watching the video.

I believe he was also drawing from the St Bartholomew's Day massacre in France.

Another really interesting video. The Black Dinner was also the inspiration for the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones. I always remember my dad telling me, when I was a kid, that one of the Douglas' was thrown out of a window in Stirling Castle, and their body landed in what is now called the Douglas Garden.

Yes that's right. They were quite a formidable family, and a threat to the Stuarts. Thank you so much for watching Claire. It's always appreciated x

Blimey, what was this - the Wild West... but seriously, very interesting. Yup there were some formidable folks around in Scotland at the time. We could do with them now really...

You would think that even at a young age the king should have had the final decision at that time ,like the Pharaohs

A great and interesting story of its time, a terrible thing to have happened to young boy's all because a family member wanted to be an Earl if that is true. Crighton and Livingston were not without nastiness either when the need arose. A proper parcel of rogues among others
