Source C illustrates the growth of Scottish resistance to Edward I in 1296-7 as it states how Andrew Moray began the Northern Rebellion in 1296 by raising his Standard at Avoch on the Black Isle.



Source C illustrates the growth of Scottish resistance to Edward I in 1296-7 as it states how Andrew Moray began the Northern Rebellion in 1296 by raising his Standard at Avoch on the Black Isle.

The source further illustrates Scottish resistance to Edward at the time by explaining how the rebellion attracted support from tenants and loyal vassals of the Moray family and the citizens of Inverness.

The source tells us that the success of Scottish resistance to Edward in the north was down to their local knowledge of the ground and they used this to ambush the English constable of Urquart Castle.

Finally the source explains how Moray and his followers captured a number of important castles, including Inverness, showing how Scottish resistance to Edward in the north of the country had escalated.



However, the source fails to illustrate that the Southern Rebellion of 1296 headed by nobles such as Comyn, Bruce and Stewart ended with their surrender to English forces at Irvine and this for a time looked like the end of resistance to Edward in the south of Scotland.

The source also fails to mention the resistance to Edward I from Wallace and his followers who killed the Sherrif of Lanark and then moved to try and capture, and possibly killl, Ormesby at Scone.

How far does Source D show the changing military balance between Scotland and England, 1298-1301?

Source D illustrates the changing military balance between Scotland and England as it states how the Scots army burned Stirling and its castle in their retreat from the defeat at Falkirk which shows they did not believe they were strong enough to defend and hold the castle.

Source D further illustrates the changing military balance between Scotland and England as it states how Edward rebuilt and garrisoned Stirling Castle which was a strategically important castle for the control of Scotland.

Furthermore, Source D illustrates the changing military balance between Scotland and England as it states how Edward was travelling through Scotland taking and burning other castles that the Scots had left intact showing that the English were able to do as they wished.

The source also illustrates the changing military balance between Scotland and England as it shows how Edward thought that he had once again subjugated the Scots as he distributed Scottish land and estates to his nobles at a parliament in Carlisle.

Finally, the source illustrates the changing military balance between Scotland and England by stating that Wallace resigned as Guardian because he could not cooperate with the nobles. Again this shows the military balance tipping in favour of the English as the Scots were unable, perhaps unwilling, to unite and face Edward.



How far does Source D show the changing military balance between Scotland and England, 1298-1301?

However, the source fails to mention that the Battle of Falkirk changed the military balance completely as the common army of Wallace was destroyed by the archers and the cavalry of the English.

The source also fails to mention that although the Scots were routed at Falkirk the Nobles did not capitulate as readily as they had after their last defeat in the field at Dunbar in 1296 which showed that the Scots still had some effective military power.

Furthermore, the source fails to mention the appointment of new guardians, John Comyn and Robert Bruce, who were heads of two of the most powerful families in Scotland. This shows that the Scots nobility was still keen to stand up against the English.

The source fails to mention the later resignation of Bruce in 1300 showing a shift in balance back towards the English as the leading Scots Nobles were no longer presenting a united military front.

The source also fails to illustrate the shifting balance of power back to England through the capture of Caerlaverock Castle, a strategic stronghold, in 1300 by Edward as he campaigned in the south west of Scotland
