477: 456: 201: 695: 487: 963:, another excellent article. Review follows: article 5x expanded from 24 January; article is extremely well written and cited inline throughout to excellent sources; I don't have access to the offline sources but more than happy to AGF on any copyright violation; hook is very interesting, mentioned in the article and cited; perhaps we should put "reportedly" in there (but happy either way)? a QPQ has been carried out. All good here - 217: 372: 351: 283: 262: 582: 561: 21: 674: 233: 956: 592: 76: 803: 382: 752: 710: 1042: 139: 107: 1509:
one might argue that Kinghorn was the first conflict of the Second War of Scottish Independence, assuming you're a historian who recognises such an entity - most don't - but at the time it was just argy bargy among the Scottish nobility. I could possibly cherry pick sources - especially the more

So that's two reasons why I duck it. I agree that it leaves a minor hole - but only because Knowledge as an encyclopedia likes to pigeon hole things in neat categories, inventing them - or at least overstressing their importance - if necessary.

Because there is a modern secondary RS which gives a figure for the Scottish numbers, but none that do so for their casualties - they all repeat what the contemporary sources say, so I have used them. (The repetition in the Rss, not the

I guess just one more thing, the first war of independence is mentioned in the body, but the second war of independence is only in the infobox. Is there any context that can be added to place this battle into the second war?
208: 117: 989:
in Knowledge is "reportedly", and can be taken as inferred. A more experienced editor than me once told me off for using it, saying that its only function was to subtly cast doubt on what was "reported" and that is PoVing.
1504:
Ah, you would ask that. The RSs don't really go for the First/Second war thing. ORing a bit, Balliol's invasion was just a dynastic squabble. England didn't get involved until the next year, when Edward invaded Scotland.
240: 125: 333: 1244:
If you mean why did I not refer to it as the "Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton" it is because none of my sources do so. Sumption, Ormrod, Rogers and DeFries all call it the "Treaty of Northampton".
