Since our last post we’ve learned a lot more about the Scottish Wars of Independence.  We learned that King Edward of England came to Scotland to decide who would be king. There were 13 competitors. The two main men to be considered were John Balliol and Robert the Bruce.  King Edward chose John Balliol to be the King of Scotland but he bullied him into doing all of the things that he wanted for Scotland. The Scots were mad at Balliol for not having their best interests at heart and they called him Tomb Tabord which means empty coat.
