Robert the Bruce Crowned King of Scots
1306 · Scone, Scotland
Robert the Bruce was crowned King of Scots at Scone, marking a significant moment in the Wars of Scottish Independence.
The event described did not occur on January 10, 1276. In fact, the recognition of John Balliol as King of Scots by Edward I took place later in the historical timeline. To provide accurate historical context, John Balliol was inaugurated as King of Scots on November 30, 1292, after the decision at the Great Hall of Berwick, following a prolonged period of competition for the Scottish crown, known as the Great Cause. Edward I of England was instrumental in facilitating this decision, demanding fealty from Balliol as his overlord. This event marked the beginning of Balliol’s troubled reign and the subsequent conflicts leading to the Wars of Scottish Independence. Balliol’s reign was marred by English interference, culminating in his eventual abdication and the ascension of Robert the Bruce, pivoting the struggle for Scottish independence into full-scale war.
The described situation on January 10, 1276, does not align with these events or their documented timeline.
