• 01:5301:53, 12 October 2023 diff hist −49‎ Archibald Douglas, 5th Earl of Douglas ‎ →‎Marriage and issue: The Black Dinner most certainly did NOT 'break the power of the Black Douglases'. Under James (the Gross) Douglas, the earl's great-uncle, its power continued. It was the war on the Douglases by King James II that broke their power.

• 23:2523:25, 8 October 2023 diff hist +253‎ Knights Templar in Scotland ‎ I cannot figure out what Fordun's lack of mention is supposed to prove one way or the other. The Templars existed in Scotland and had to be either put on trial or protected. Bishop Lamberton was head of the church in Scotland, was in Scotland at the time (having been freed by the English the previous year), and so the decision would hav been his.

24 September 2023

• 03:2803:28, 24 September 2023 diff hist +7‎ Warlord ‎ The initial statement asserted that all warlords have been in nations with no central government which is simply false as is discussed in the case of cooperative warlords and Hermann's point that was the dominant political framwork previous to modern history. In fact, most monarchs started as warlords. I added the word 'often'.

• 14:4114:41, 2 August 2023 diff hist −138‎ Andrew Murray (soldier) ‎ →‎Family: Her birthdate is circa 1278 and there is no evidence whatsoever otherwise. It may have been a year or two one way or the other but is certainly not off by a large amount. That she was not well into her 40s is pure nonsense.
• 14:3014:30, 2 August 2023 diff hist −4‎ Agnes, Countess of Dunbar ‎ →‎Siege of Dunbar: It was a fully manned castle in the middle of a war. That there were only a few may make the story sound better but was not the case.

7 July 2023

• 01:3101:31, 7 July 2023 diff hist +251‎ Edward Balliol ‎ →‎Early life: It is possible but unlikely that Balliol was involved. There is no evidence that the intent was to put a Balliol back on the throne although that is a possible explanation for the conspiracy.
• 01:2101:21, 7 July 2023 diff hist +7‎ Edward Balliol ‎ →‎Early life: He 'resided' there because he was a prisoner. That was why he had to be 'released'.

5 July 2023

• 17:3217:32, 5 July 2023 diff hist +24‎ David II of Scotland ‎ →‎Return to Scotland: That made it sound as though she was the only one with him. Obviously someone did not like it since she was murdered but the citation does not support some widespread unpopularity. It was par for the course for a king to have a mistress.
• 17:1917:19, 5 July 2023 diff hist +293‎ David II of Scotland ‎ →‎Return to Scotland: Asserts as fact that the Earl of Angus was starved to death which is possible but not by any means the most likely cause of his death.

• 01:4801:48, 2 July 2023 diff hist +32‎ Alexander Bur ‎ He did not 'secure the episcopal castle at Spynie'. It was in the possession of the Bishop of St. Andrews, a close associate of King David, and was the bishop's home. King David stayed there apparently through the winter after going north to escape the plague.

• 20:5120:51, 15 June 2023 diff hist +809‎ Patrick V, Earl of March ‎ That Dunbar fought in the battle or took heavy casualties (or any at all) is highly unlikely so I inserted citation to show more likely events.
• 02:0402:04, 15 June 2023 diff hist −12‎ Sulla ‎ The definition of 'statesman' is a skilled, experienced, and RESPECTED political leader or figure which hardly fits the murderous Sulla. It is a bit like calling Hitler a statesman. Tag: Reverted

• 05:0305:03, 14 June 2023 diff hist 0‎ Agnes, Countess of Dunbar ‎ The Second War of Scottish Independence ended in 1357, not 1341.
• 05:0105:01, 14 June 2023 diff hist +52‎ Agnes, Countess of Dunbar ‎ →‎Siege of Dunbar: It was the norm for a wife to take charge of a castle and manor business in her husband's absence. 'Lady Agnes' is not the correct form of address for a countess. And it is not normally done to refer to the subject of an article by their first name. Nor was the Earl taken prisoner by Montague as implied.

• 17:4717:47, 29 May 2023 diff hist +60‎ James I of Scotland ‎ Since during much of his time in England, he was imprisoned he was in the Tower of London, it is hardly correct to say he was 'educated in the English court'. Nor is there any way to know if he was willing to join the English in fighting the french or not. He was an expert wrestler and tennis player so the 'leisurely sports' is a silly smear.

• 16:0016:00, 28 May 2023 diff hist −17‎ Auld Alliance ‎ →‎Hundred Years War: He could not 'complete his conquest' as he had not yet fought there at all yet and saying complete implies that was some way forward. Scotland was entirely free of English control at that point. Moreover the year is wrong. The English attack on Scotland did not renew until 1332.
