Battle of Dunbar

Once Edward I (Longshanks) had forced the Scots into submission at Berkwick, he moved toward the Scottish defense gathered at Dunbar. The Battle of Dunbar was a merciless defeat for Scotland. With Scotland in his control, Longshanks moved on Scottish relics, to demoralize the people further. The Stone of Destiny was removed from Scone, for example, and placed in Westminster Abbey. Edinburgh castle was garrisoned by English troops, and the English dealt harshly with rebellious Scots who rose against them.
