Alexander III of Scotland

the lords could be replaced...
That would be a straight-out annexation and would then face opposition from the dispossessed lords - having them on-side makes it more difficult for Ed-II to oppose/overturn. If there was support from other powerful English lords (Earl of Gloucester, etc), then Ed-II wouldn't have any choice at all - those lords would need to have some reason for that support though - but that could come from the Welsh campaign :rolleyes:

Aye very true, and considering what we know of Ed II in real life, nothing suggests he'd be any more successful in Wales.
 
Some more of my thoughts, this time for Edward II

Edward II of England (b. 1284: d.1320) m Margaret of France (b. 1288 d.1319)
1a) Edward III of England (b.1304 d.1370)
1b) Joanna of England (b. 1306 d.1346)
1c) John of Eltham, Earl of Cornwall (b. 1308 d. 1338)
1d) Eleanor of England (b.1312 d. 1372)
1e) Henry of England, Earl of Derby (b. 1316 d. 1369)

The marriage between Edward II and Margaret of France, eldest daughter of Philip IV of France, occurs in 1303 as part of a peace process between England and France to resolve the issues of Gascony.
