A force of English exiles and Scottish lords who had lost lands under Bruce — the 'Disinherited' — landed at Kinghorn in Fife without royal backing and defeated a much larger Scottish army at Dupplin Moor. The Earl of Mar was killed along with vast numbers of Scottish nobility. The victory was achieved by a combination of archers and dismounted men-at-arms in a formation that prefigured the English tactics at Halidon Hill and Crécy. Edward Balliol was crowned King of Scots at Scone shortly after.
