Wars of Scottish Independence: Military Campaigns between England and Scotland

Knowing everything we do about siege warfare and the medieval way of conquering and being conquered, this book sheds more light on the series of wars that formed the initiative to become independent as a Scottish nation. There is much confusion about the Scottish wars of independence, and in this book, we will clarify some of that.

In the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the Wars of Scottish Independence were a series of army fights performed between the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England. This is a significant event in Scottish history.

The English intrusion of Scotland in the year 1296 launched the First War. The Second War (1332-- 1357) started in the year 1332 and ended in the year 1357 with the finalizing of the Treaty of Berwick. Scotland was in the middle of a major dilemma at the time, and the disputes turned into one of the most essential periods in its history. Scotland's status as an independent state was maintained after the end of both wars. Other reasons for the disputes' significance include the introduction of the longbow as an important weapon in middle ages warfare.

Let’s take a look at what else happened and what we can learn from the background of those wars.
