Edward I's 1303 campaign was the most thorough English conquest of Scotland. He marched through Fife and deliberately burned Dunfermline — Scotland's royal burial place and the church containing the tomb of St Margaret and her descendants. The desecration of the royal mausoleum was intended to break Scottish national identity. Robert the Bruce submitted to Edward I in 1302 but was secretly planning his revolt — which erupted in 1306.
