Battle of Dupplin Moor

Date: August 11, 1332 • Location: Methven, United Kingdom

Wars of Scottish Independence: Battle of Dupplin Moor: Scots under Domhnall II, Earl of Mar are routed by Edward Balliol.

The Scottish wars (1296–1357) were two extended military conflicts in which the Kingdom of England attempted to establish full control over the Kingdom of Scotland. In spite of significant temporary successes, the English efforts in both wars ultimately failed due to Scottish resistance and Scotland remained an independent country. The wars were part of a great crisis for Scotland, and the period became one of the most defining times in its history.
