Robert the Bruce: Have been getting his name all wrong?

Bruce was crowned in 1306 at Scone Palace, near Perth, and died in Cardross in 1329.

Historian Greg Jenner, who hosts You’re Dead to Me, said: “We chose to do Robert Bruce because there is so much name recognition and there is the big anniversary of course – 750 years since his birth.

“He is so important for Scottish people. And he is a symbol – he was the king that won independence.”

Jenner, who was historian on the Horrible Histories TV show for 11 years, describes You’re Dead to Me as a comedy show that takes history seriously.

He said: “We pair up comedians at the top of their game with fantastic academics and we have this great conversation on a subject.”

Over more than 100 episodes so far, the show has explored the stories of Queen of Sheba, American showman PT Barnum, Agatha Christie – and the history of time itself.
