The First War of Scottish Independence.

It Starded in 1296 by the English invasion of Scotland and would end as most wars do, with a treaty. The Reason why the war started was much earlier than that though. The native Picts of Scotland were conquered during the Gaelic invasions of the 5th Century C.E. from Ireland. These warlike people, though not unlike the native Picts, would have their clans commit border raids in Endlang during the 13th century. As a fact to justify an invasion could England use this, but that would just not be the case. The invasion would happend based on the fights over who would take the Scottish throne after King Alexander III died.

The first war of Scottish Independence started in 1296 by English invasion of Scotland when Alexander III died 1286. Then the English king Edvard 1 saw a chance to bust the neighbour in north. He had just conquered Wales and proved that England was a strong country, but England was in a stupid position between France and Scotland. If one of the country should attack the other country will take a side. Edvard went with his new army into Scotland there the Scottish army split in 1296. In may 1297 started William Wallace a rebellion against the Englishman. But later John the Warenne took over the throne of England and he lost against William, september 11, 1297 and the english army split. Scotland was now very close to be free but then Edvard did a new army and it became a new battle between Edvard and William and this time Edvard won. William had to run away and seven years after he had run away he died. Then Edvard I died and his son took over the throne and made a new army. The englishman didn’t wanted to make a new battle so theymade peace. Now Scotland got independence.=====

Johan was a prisoner in the Towern in London at the beginning, but then he got released by the custody of Pope Boniface VIII, on one condition, that he will stay in the papal residence. He got released in the summer 1301, and lived the rest of his life on the family’s property in Picardie. But his follower still argued that he still was the rightful King of Scotland. That’s why the Scottish rose in rebellion in 1297 with William Wallace and Andrew de Moray. They said they were at a misson by King John. But in fact, Scotland ha no monarch until the accession of Robert the Bruce in 1306.

the first war was between 1296-1314 and started after the Scottish king, Alexander III. He died in 1286 without leaving no inheritor behind. The English king, Edward Longshanks, argued that he would be right to the crown and that Scotland was only a part of England.

Year 1296 was invaded Scotland, and Longshanks big victory in the "Battle of Dunbar" was scotland soon invaded by English men, and that would not accept the Scots.
