The Scots invaded England in 1333 during the Wars of Scottish Independence, motivated primarily by political and territorial ambitions rather than fear of the plague. The conflict was driven by Scotland's desire to assert its independence and reclaim lost lands. While the presence of the plague posed a significant risk, the overarching goal of securing Scottish sovereignty and power took precedence over concerns about disease. Additionally, the strategic opportunity presented by England's weakened state due to the epidemic may have encouraged the invasion.
