tle of Dunnichen. Scotland was friends with Edward, until he started meddling with their affairs, and the relationship ended, causing the Wars of Scottish Independence. The country started to change very dramatically when Robert de Brus killed John Comyn. Robert I battled to win the independence of the state for over 20 years. After their victory in 1314, it took fourteen more years to come with the independence document, the Declaration of Arbroath. "

It used strong words, indicating that without acceptance of the Scottish case that the wars would continue and the resultant deaths would be the responsibility of the Pope.
