At Happrew near Peebles in February 1304, the last significant Scottish field force under Wallace and Simon Fraser skirmished with English cavalry under John Comyn and Robert Bruce, who had by this point submitted to England. The clash at Happrew was one of Wallace's final engagements as a free man; the majority of Scottish magnates were negotiating their submissions and Wallace was increasingly isolated. He continued to evade capture until August 1305 when he was betrayed near Glasgow.
