On December 25th in the year 1319 a two year truce between Scotland and England began.

This little known peace treaty is often overlooked, probably due to the Bruce’s government issuing the Declaration of Arbroath the following year.

After Bannockburn King Edward II of England never forgot his humiliation, and he threatened war against Scotland. The Bruce got there first, raiding south as far as York in a bid to capture prisoners to be held for ransom. Edward also had his troubles at home with a trebellion.

The King was also talking to some of the great Northern lords and it looked as if they would do a separate deal with the Bruce to stop him destroying their land. Thomas, Earl of Lancaster, was one of the rebel barons but paid for it with his life after the Battle of Boroughbridge was won by forces loyal to Edward.

Encouraged by ending the civil war in England, Edward came north with a great army, but Bruce deployed the same tactics he had used prior to Bannockburn, destroying anything that could be of use to the English, who were forced to retreat when famine and disease broke out.

In September 1319 The Bruce won a decisive battle at Myton in Yorkshire

Earlier that year Edward II had moved an army North and laid siege to Berwick in an attempt to recapture it from the Scots. In response the army of several thousand Scots, commanded by the Earl of Moray and the Good Sir James Douglas, bypassed the Northern town and marched through the north of England torching all in their path. Their secret objective lay in Edward’s court at York; where they hoped to abduct Edward II’s wife, the 21 year old Queen, Isabella. On September 20th 1319 they neared York and The Battle of Myton ensued.

The outcome of this unequal contest was never in doubt. Formed up according to their custom in a single division, the Scots uttered together a tremendous shout to terrify the English, the Highland charge began racing towards the men from York, who straightaway began to take to their heels at the sound.

The York contingent was an odd mixture of men thrown together to meet the emergency, including priests and monks losses were reported of 3,000, among them Nicholas Flemyng the city mayor.

For Edward II, already at odds with many English nobles, it was another disaster. Meanwhile the victorious Scottish army retreated back across the border into Scotland carrying their ill-gotten gains and prisoners.

Afterwards Edward was forced to raise the siege of Berwick and ultimately agreed to a two year truce.

All the bad things Stewards and the 'Light Side' have done (so far)

Brainwashing literal children into a death cult. We know that Stewards take their tests — aka slow poison — at the age of twenty (with few exceptions). However, they are much younger when they start training/brainwashing. They convince unexperience people, who have very few contacts with the outside world, not only to drink poison that would kill them in a handful of years but also make them responsible for killing their shieldmates. I also wonder how many shieldmates some of them kill before the shadow kills them and how many fellow Stewards their 'Paragon of Light,' the Elderly Steward, killed.

Lying to the novitiates about the reasons for their routines, abstinence, and rules.

Attempting to kill James while he was just a child. They probably hunted him for years after that, all the while knowing about the Collar and thinking that even in his previous life, he was compelled to be on the Dark King's side.

Wanting to kill Violet just for being a Lion. She literally did nothing wrong, and they wanted to execute her simply for being born into the wrong family. All this while still believing that she was the one who saved the Blood of the Lady.

The horrible, ugly, and incredibly stupid actions of Eleanor—aka Mother of the Year—Kempen. She wanted to get rid of her Dark Child before he was born. Okay, no comments. But everything she's done after that is plain stupidity and a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why would you want to teach the future/past Dark King that the world is a terrible place where no one loves him? You either kill him or try to surround him with love and affection so that he grows up to be a nice person.

Lady: Making the Blade, apparently knowing that when her Blood touches it, it will kill that person. She made her body possessed by Sandy, which is also on the stupid side because if it was the Stewards who found dead Katherine, they would just burn her body and Sandy with it.

Stealing the horn of the Last Unicorn.

Sun King: Using a rather horrible way to kill Sarcean's followers. What kind of Good Light Side King has a prison under his throne where he throws his enemies to slowly die there in the dark for who knows how many days?

Lying and hiding important information from each other—the Cup, the shadows, the Room under the Tree, everything about the Sun Kingdom, and Will's mom lying to him about literally everything.

In conclusion, I don't expect the Dark King to turn out to be a Baby Girl Soft Kitty who has done nothing wrong (c), but I won't be surprised when the whole 'Dark King was the worst' turns out to be only partially true.

James IV of Scotland, attributed to Meynart Wewyck, 1507

Dutch artist Meynart Wewyck was a prominent portrait painter at the court of Henry VII, creating some of the few surviving contemporary images of the king and his family, which were subsequently used as the templates for centuries of posthumous portraits.

Wewyck's portraits of Henry VII, Elizabeth of York, and Henry VIII

In 1502, Wewyck was sent to the court of James IV in Scotland with four portraits of the Tudor family: the king and queen, Prince Henry (later Henry VIII), and Princess Margaret, who had been married by proxy to James a few months earlier. While these paintings have not survived, 16th-century archivist Jacques Le Boucq included several portraits from the Scots inventory in his Receuil d'Arras, a collection of sketched copies of portraits from around Europe; Wewyck's may have been among them.

Le Boucq's sketches of portraits of Henry VII, Elizabeth of York*, and Margaret Tudor

*The Elizabeth of York sketch only survives as an imprint on the opposite page; I've approximated it based on the visible lines

Wewyck remained in Scotland for another year before returning to England in 1503, during which time he may have sketched James from life for this later portrait, or else leaving behind sketches to be completed by another artist.

An interesting detail about this portrait: at his wedding to Margaret, James was reported as wearing a gold chain with a ruby and an image of St. George, possibly the chain depicted here.

#never knew about this one #I mean it sure fits the mold of the other Wewycks #stewarts #the Elizabeth of York one looks like a copy of that same portrait #as do the Le Boucq sketches #portraiture #scotland #16th century
