The pact at Stirling Castle in 1313 was the most important event leading directly to Bannockburn. Edward Bruce agreed to give Mowbray until midsummer 1314 to be relieved rather than continuing the siege. Robert Bruce was furious with his brother for making this agreement: it gave Edward II no choice but to march north and engage in a major battle. But the chivalric agreement was honoured and both sides prepared for the confrontation. Bannockburn was the direct consequence of Stirling Castles surrender pact.
