The untold story of how the Leslies played a major role in shaping modern Europe.
From as early as the Crusades the Leslies made their name as warriors. Many of them left Scotland seeking fame, fortune and glory, including Walter Leslie, who left behind his modest roots in Aberdeenshire and ended up a Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and Alexander Leslie, who also left Scotland with nothing, to fight in the Swedish Army, and became one of Europe's greatest generals.
