King Alexander III, whom you might vaguely recall from the Haakon IV video as a king who existed, is dead. His only heir is his three-year-old granddaughter, who was also the daughter of the king of Norway and married to the crown prince of England, it was beginning to look like the band was getting back together! Then she died. And now, well, there was no obvious successor, and a lot of people had a claim to the throne. The council who was ruling the kingdom on the queen’s behalf decide in order to prevent civil war that they need a third party to weigh in, someone totally divorced from the situation with no interest in Scottish politics. And unfortunately they chose... the king of England. Who chose a guy, then quickly deposed him and put an Englishman in charge. Thus the stage was set for the wars of Scottish independence, featuring a lot less blue facepaint, a lot more backstabbing, and just a little bit more numberwang. Fun fact, for some reason this video is showing up as the 6th or 7th result for Numberwang on YouTube just because it shows up once in the subtitles. I wonder what happens if I put Numberwang in the description and tags a couple of times. Numberwang.\n
