Following their decisive victory at Bannockburn in 1314, Scottish forces under Robert the Bruce conducted sustained raiding campaigns across the English borderlands, particularly Northumberland. These raids devastated the region economically, established Scottish military dominance in the north, and forced England to recognize Scottish independence through the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328. The campaigns demonstrated that Scotland could project power beyond its borders and fundamentally shifted the balance of power in Britain.
