Source A is an extract from ‘Warfare in Medieval Europe’ by historian Emily Burnett and published in Edward tried to destroy Scotland’s national identity, just as he had done to Wales in The Stone of Destiny, on which the Scottish Kings were crowned, was taken to London, along with the Scottish crown.
