Athelstan launched a punitive expedition into Scotland in 934 after Constantine II broke his oath of submission, perhaps by allying with Norse enemies. The land army devastated Scotland to Dunnottar on the Kincardineshire coast while the fleet ravaged the eastern seaboard as far as Caithness. Constantine submitted again. The campaign was the most extensive English military operation in Scotland before the medieval period and bred the resentment that led to the grand coalition against Athelstan at Brunanburh in 937.
