The author draws on original records to provide fresh insights into this complex historical period. The author sets the scene by describing the uncertain state of Scotland following the death of Alexander III. Edward I's negotiations for a marriage between his son and the infant Queen of Scots are described, and Edward's subsequent arbitration of the claim to the Scottish throne. The author then goes on to recount Edward I's subsequent interference in Scottish affairs, leading to the Scottish wars of independence. The author contrasts Robert the Bruce's humility towards Edward I with his defiance of Edward II, describing key events such as the Battle of Bannockburn and the capture of Berwick-upon-Tweed. The book goes on to outline the reigns of Edward III, Edward Balliol, and David II. It concludes by examining the long-term impact of the Edwards' dealings with Scotland and their contribution to the development of the Scottish nation. Filled with insights from original records, this book sheds new light on the turbulent and fascinating period in Scottish history.
