Edward Balliol invades Scotland with English aid
August 1332
The son of the discredited John Balliol crossed the Forth with a small force of disinherited lords and routed the Scottish guardian at Dupplin Moor in a devastating surprise attack. Crowned at Scone, Balliol promptly ceded Lothian to Edward III. The Wars of Scottish Independence had a violent second act.
