Killed in battle at Dupplin Moor.
The death of Robert I in 1329 left Scotland with a four-year-old king.
David II (1329-71) had a right to the throne solel y because of the career
and residual influence of his father. His claim to th e throne was far
from absolute and, from 1329 was challenged by Edward Ballio l (son of
King John). In September 1332, Balliol (backed by significant English
forces) won a victory against the supporters of David II at Dupplin Moor,
whereafter he was crowned King of Scots at Scone.
David II was sent to Franc e for his own safety in 1334 but Balliol was
driven from Scotland a matter of months later. David returned to Scotland
in 1341 and pursued a foreign polic y largely in French interests.
