A final act and the end of war - The Second War of Scottish independence continued
The British Isles (Part 2 of 2)
June 1328
The Lowlands of Scotland were burning. Every settlement found by the English was given the treatment that the Scots gave the north of England. Thousands upon thousands died, not just from direct conflict, but from lack of any supplies, disease and everything else that comes from having lost everything. With a trail of fire behind them, the English advanced north into the Grampians, tasting victory. They began to get bogged down by the weather, and when the supply lines began to stretch, the advance turned into a craw.
Meanwhile, King David and his few remaining nobles, hidden in the highlands, plotted a final, desperate act before surrender. It would be a 3 stage plan. Firstly, a hit and run style warfare would be used to hold up the English armies in Scotland, while trying to attack supply trains and ruin their morale. With most of the nobles and clan leaders dead, the King appointed an established soldier, a Mr Kyle Poultry, to lead the conflict there. He, and small force of skilled soldiers from all over Scotland headed south on what would probably be a suicide mission.
The next stage of the plan was more of a terror tactic. A large number of men were found, and each was given a location in the Kingdom of England to attack. Namely, with fire. The objective was simply to burn as much of England's territories as possible to the ground. The larger the target, the more men sent there. Around 5 men (in the smallest cases) would head to their target, then once having caused as much damage as possible, move on to secondary targets, as well as trying to stir up the local population if possible (especially in Wales and Ireland). Soon, scores of angry Scotsmen, with nothing but a few weeks supply of food, made their individual ways south, so as to avoid capture or detection.
The third and final stage of the plan would simply be a final push south with whatever forces could be rounded up, hopefully pushing the English to the border so that a peace treaty could be signed.
The following events were described be French minstrel Eric De'Leaux, who had evacuated to the highlands with a group of Scottish families:
"As we sat huddled around the meagre fire, trying to ration out our last scraps of food, our ears picked up a crescendo of cheers and bagpipes. We headed towards the sounds of joy and were told of reports of fires and much destruction in London, Northumberland, Oxford, Norwich, Nottingham, Bristol, even Dublin! We had assumed it was an act of God. Of course at the time we had no idea that this whole chain of events had actually come from his representative, King David. As the day drew on, more people drew to the area, including men of high standing, and many soldiers. It is said that even the King himself was nearby. An announcement was made that those able to fight would be heading south to finally push the English scum from the lowlands. Of course I was apprehensive, but did not shy from the opportunity. I had not fought before, but I had just as much reason to hate the English as any Scotsman did. As far as any of us knew, France was burning. There had been no news for months.
After any spare supplies and weapons were handed out and swapped, our merry band marched down to our fates. To the final battle for Scotland."
The plan had gone well. The hit and run tactics had managed to draw much attention from the English, and they became a top priority. Pretty much all of the guerilla fighters were killed or captured, but they had given the second group enough time to make their ways south to their targets. As no set time had been given as to when to start the destruction, the northern cities burnt first. Fires started in abandoned barns, taverns, barracks and the wooden houses of the poor, quickly spreading and consuming cities within hours. As it became clear that the Scottish were to blame, messengers were sent south to warn London and other cities. When the messengers reached their targets, all they found was what they had left, fire. They were too late. Nearly every major settlement in England was to be touched by the great fires.
Many of the Scottish 'agents' were caught and executed, and only a few managed to escape back north. But the damage had been done. Supplies to the English army abruptly stopped, as did their advance in the highlands. On June 19th, 1328, a tired, ragged army of Scotsmen would take on a tired, ragged army of Englishmen at the Battle of Invernahoven. Losses were heavy on both sides but the English soon realised that the war was over. The commander of their army called for terms, and after a short conversation with David II, gave his word to leave Scotland with has army and not return.
A few days later, a courier from the King of England reached David II, asking for terms. A meeting was held at York, with representatives from England, France and Scotland. There terms were short and simple:
Edward III of England would recognise David II as King of Scotland, and relinquish any claims on Scotland. He would also recognise the French conquests on the continent, as well as any claims to the throne.
As the terms were signed, peace finally came to the 3 tired nations. Now would be the time to rebuild and reorganise the mess that was called the Kingdom of Scotland.
