Battle of Dunbar, 1296 First War of Scottish Independence (Part 1) DOCUMENTARY

The video explores the decline of the Canmore line and the political maneuvers of Edward Longshanks, King of England, in Scotland. After the death of Margaret, the Maid of Norway, Edward sought to control Scotland by selecting John Baliol as king, who swore fealty to him. Tensions rose as Scotland allied with France, leading to conflicts like the Battle of Berwick and the Siege of Dunbar. Edward's conquest was marked by the humiliation of John Balliol and the imposition of English rule, setting the stage for future resistance led by figures like William Wallace.
