king of See also:Scotland, was a son of See also:John de See also:Baliol (d
.
1269) of See also:Barnard See also:Castle, See also:Durham, by his wife Dervorguila, daughter of Alan, See also:earl of See also:Galloway, and became See also:head of the Baliol See also:family (see above) and See also:lord of extensive lands in See also:England, See also:France and Scotland on his See also:elder See also:brother's See also:death in 1278
.
Little else, however, is known of his See also:early See also:life
.
He came into prominence when the Scottish See also:throne became vacant in 1290 owing to the death of See also:Margaret, the " maid of See also:Norway," a granddaughter of King See also:Alexander III., and was one of the three candidates for the See also:crown whose pretensions were seriously considered
.
Claiming through his maternal grandmother, Margaret, the eldest daughter of See also:David, earl of See also:Huntingdon (d
.
1219), who was a See also:grandson of King David I., Baliol's See also:principal See also:rival was See also:Robert See also:Bruce, earl of Annandale, and the dispute was the somewhat See also:familiar one of the eldest by descent against the nearest of See also:kin
.
Meanwhile the See also:English king, See also:Edward I., was closely watching the trend of affairs in Scotland and was invited to See also:settle this dispute
.
It is doubtful what rights, if any, the English See also:kings had over Scotland, but when Edward met the Scottish nobles at Norham in May 1291, he demanded a formal recognition of his position as overlord of Scotland
.
After some delay this was tacitly admitted by the nobles, and acknowledged by Baliol and the other competitors, who all agreed to abide by his decision
.
A See also:court of eighty Scotsmen and twenty-four Englishmen was then appointed to try the question
.
Traversing the statements made in favour of Bruce, Baliol claimed by the principles of feudal See also:law for an indivisible See also:inheritance, and on the See also:advice of the court Edward decided in his favour
.
Having sworn fealty to the English king, Baliol was crowned king of Scotland at See also:Scone on the 3oth of See also:November 1292; in his new capacity he did See also:homage to Edward at See also:Newcastle, and in See also:January 1293 released the English king from all promises and obligations made while the See also:kingdom of Scotland was in his hands
.
These amicable relations were soon disturbed
.
A Scottish See also:vassal carried his See also:case to Edward as Baliol's overlord, and Baliol himself was soon summoned to the English court to See also:answer a suit brought against him
.
After a See also:short struggle he admitted Edward's right, and in May 1294 attended a See also:parliament in See also:London
.
He soon quarrelled with his overlord, the exact point at issue being doubtful, and returned
T1
to Scotland
.
Consequent on the dispute which had broken out between England and France, a See also:council of twelve was appointed to assist him, and it was decided to defy Edward
.
Englishmen were dismissed from the Scottish court, their fiefs were confiscated, and an See also:alliance was concluded with See also:- PHILIP
