Timeline
Following the death of Margaret, the Maid of
Norway, Edward I (Longshanks) of
England was recognized as the overlord of Scotland. In 1292, he awarded
the Scottish crown to John Balliol. However, Scottish opposition to English
domination led to revolt. John surrendered to Edward in 1296 and
abdicated the Scottish throne. There was no Scottish king for another
ten years.
Edward Balliol, the son of John, was set up by the English as the King
of Scotland during the reign of David II
but he was unable to rule and fled Scotland for England in 1339.
