The troops make their way home near the strong fortress of Dunbar . Its owner, Patrick, 8th Earl of March, is a supporter of Edward, but his wife Marjory Comyn sticks to the Scottish side and allows her compatriots access to the fortress in the absence of their husband.
  • April 27th: In the battle of Dunbar in the first battle of the Scottish Wars of Independence, the troops largely wipe out the English troops under John de Warenne, 6th Earl of Surrey , and the Scottish army of John Balliol .
