Recurring revolts in Galloway were put down in 1185 when Roland, the dominant lord of Galloway, supported William the Lion's authority and suppressed the rebel faction. Roland would later become a loyal and useful servant of the Scottish crown, commanding forces in campaigns against the Norse. The pacification of Galloway in this period was never complete but the 1185 settlement provided several decades of relative stability.
