After Bannockburn: Scotland’s Fight to Keep Freedom in the Second War (1332–1357) | Part 5

The Wars of Scottish Independence did not end at the glorious victory of Bannockburn in 1314. In fact, the struggle entered a darker, more complex chapter—the Second War of Independence (1332–1357). This period saw Scotland once again fighting to preserve its hard-won freedom, facing new invasions, divided loyalties, and the return of English ambition under Edward III.

In this episode, we explore:

⚔️ The fragile peace after Robert the Bruce’s death in 1329

🛡️ The rise of the Disinherited lords and their invasion at Dupplin Moor (1332)

👑 The rival claims to the Scottish throne: David II vs. Edward Balliol

🔥 The devastating English campaigns under Edward III, including the Battle of Halidon Hill

🌍 How Scotland balanced internal strife, external threats, and shifting alliances with France during the Hundred Years’ War

✍️ The path to the eventual settlement of 1357 (Treaty of Berwick)—and what it meant for Scotland’s future
This is Part 5 of our historical deep dive into Scotland’s Wars of Independence, where we uncover how a small kingdom fought relentlessly against overwhelming odds to keep its sovereignty alive.

📖 Perfect for fans of medieval history, Scottish heritage, and the epic story of freedom against empire.
