When the English army came knocking at the gates of Dunbar Castle in 1338, they expected an easy victory. What they got instead was Black Agnes — a Scottish noblewoman with a sharp tongue, a fearless spirit, and absolutely zero patience for invaders. With a handful of loyal soldiers, Agnes of Dunbar held off siege engines, taunted her enemies, and turned one of the most embarrassing failures in English military history into her personal highlight reel. In today's episode Ben and special guest bestselling author Rebecca Cantrel tell the story of how one woman, armed with grit, wit, and a heavy dose of sarcasm, made the mighty tremble.
