Best Answer

Edward I of England tried on a number of occasions to conquer Scotland and was particularly brutal in going about it. There were a number of bloody battles and the Scots mostly came off worst, but he never managed to rule Scotland.

In 1297 William Wallace and his army won the Battle of Stirling bridge and the nation began to rebel against Edward's oppression. These were called the Wars of Independence, culminating in a decisive battle at Bannockburn in 1314 which secured Scotland's independence from England.
