In 1260 the young Alexander III, then eighteen, formally ended the regency period and began to exercise personal royal authority. This was not accomplished without tension: the Comyn faction which had dominated the guardianship resisted the transition. Alexander used a combination of political skill and the implicit threat of force to establish his personal rule. The end of the minority and the beginning of Alexander's personal reign marked the start of a period often called a golden age of Scottish medieval history.
The size of the opposing forces is not recorded in the surviving sources.
