Edward’s reaction
• Edward was by no means happy at hearing of
yet another rebellion.
• By June 1306, Bruce’s small army had been
destroyed by Sir Aymer de Valence’s English
army at Methven, near Perth.
• The defeat scattered Bruce’s party. Bruce fled
west only to be routed near Loch Tay and
defeated again by Comyn’s cousin, John
MacDougall of Lorn, at Dail Righ.
• Edward confiscated all of Bruce’s lands,
executed one of his brothers and captured his
wife and sister at Kildrummy Castle, placing
them in a wooden cage.
