To coincide with the final season of Game Of Thrones, here we have an event that inspired the novel's most horrifying twist, the Red Wedding. The Massacre of Glencoe took place in 1692 in Glencoe in Scotland when MacIain of the Macdonald clan was delayed by a snow storm from swearing fealty to King William II of Scotland (III of England). He and many of his men were then slain in their homes by government forces who were billeted with them, led by Robert Campbell of Glenylon. This extract is from a paper circulated in 1695 in Edinburgh entitled 'Murther Will Out' that documented the events. How do we actually know about history? Voices of the Past is a channel dedicated to recreating the original accounts from the people who lived through events, or who lived far closer to them than we do today. We do this word for word, with an accompanying soundtrack of rousing music and images. — Thanks for watching!
