About Gruesome Death Of Medieval Warrior Uncovered

30 years ago 9 skeletons were discovered buried within the grounds of Stirling Castle, Scotland. Their identities remain a mystery - but Injuries found on them suggest that they all suffered brutally violent deaths. Dr Jo Buckberry, a battle trauma expert at the University of Bradford, believes they date from 1296 to 1357 - the Scottish Wars of Independence. Today Jo is going to reveal to us the clues that might help identify who these people were and uncover how they met their ends. And to help add some extra historical context she's joined by History Hit's very own Medieval expert Historian and Author Matt Lewis.
