A further revolt in Galloway in 1228 required Alexander II to mount another military expedition into the province. Galloway's persistent resistance to Scottish royal authority made it one of the most troublesome regions of the kingdom. The 1228 campaign was one of several between Alexander II's accession and the final settlement of 1235. The pattern of revolt and suppression was driven by Galloway's distinct cultural identity and resentment of the feudalising policies of the Scottish crown.
