The death of Margaret left Scotland without a Monarch and at the mercy of Edward I. Thus begun the first Interegnum, and the contest between 13 claimants.
Although the marriage treaty had specified that Scotland was to maintain its independence of England, Edward now proclaimed himself overlord of Scotland; the Scots resisted, and for more than 20 years Scotland suffered foreign domination and civil war.
