Abstract	England and Scotland remained formally at war throughout the later Middle Ages (save for two very short-lived peace treaties). This strand of three sessions will examine various aspects of Anglo-Scottish relations in this period, discussing how interactions between Englishmen and Scots, and their perceptions of each other, were shaped by intermittent but persistent hostilities. This session will focus on the first half of the 14th century, covering the truce of 1323 (the first long truce since 1306); and perceptions of, and support for, the regime of Edward Balliol, a King of Scots who depended on English support.
