In the end, all those who thought they were still in a chance at winning the Scots throne did pay homage to Edward. But the rest of the Scots community of the realm held their noses and stood aloof. Was this, as some Scottish historians have always insisted, an Edwardian trap? Was he already thinking of turning Scotland into Wales North, the next territory to be gobbled up by his imperial appetite? Well, I think the appetite grew with the eating. A year later, when the final verdict came through, Balliol did prove to have the better claim and was the clear choice of Scotland. Edward did not force him on anybody. For his part, once Balliol had acknowledged Edward' s overlordship, the English King agreed to keep the separate identity of Scottish institutions. Only if their interest crossed would there be trouble. Alas, they did, and trouble there certainly was. |
