ABSTRACT
An alliance between Burgundy and Scotland which was hostile to England would be no less of a disaster than the alliance between France and Scotland which had been for so long a period one of England’s worst trials. According to the Croyland Abbey chronicle, Edward was far from satisfied with what Gloucester had accomplished for him in Scotland and felt much vexation of spirit because so little had been gained in return for the great sums of money which had been expended on the expedition. Edward demanded full pay for his aid, however, as the new king of Scotland had to acknowledge the right of the kings of England to Berwick, which Gloucester was besieging, Liddesdale, Eskdale, Ewesdale, and Annandale, with the castle of Lochmaben, and to give several other promises. When Edinburgh had been cowed, Gloucester set out to deal with the forces at Haddington.
