Germs all should be approved by all. I"
This was in 1895, and on this declara-
tion, SO far as successful government is
concerned, hang all the law and the
profits.
The following year Edward marched
into Scotland, where he captured Balfol
and sent him to France, where he died,
in boundless ohscurity, in 1897. Baliol
was succeeded by the brave William
Wallace, who won great battle at
Stirling, but was afterward defeated en-
tirely at Falkirk and in 1906 was exc
cuted in London by request
But the Scotch called to their aid
Robert Bruce, the grandson Of Ba1iol's
competitor, and he was solemnly crown
ed at the abbey of Scone
During successful campaign against
these people Edward fell sick and died
in 1907. He left orders for the Scottish
war to be continued till that restless
and courageous people were snbdued
Edward was called the English JUS
tinian, yet those acts for which he rs
most famous were reluctantly done be-
cause of the demands made by deter
mined people
During his reign gunpowder was dis
covered by Roger Bacon, whereby Guy
Fawkes was made possible. Without
him England would still be q slumber-
ing fog bank upon the shores of time.
Young Edward was not much Of q
monarch. He forgot to fight the Scots,
and soon Robert Bruce had won back
the fortresses taken by the English, and
Edward II, under the influence of an at
tractive tri1er named Gaveston, daw-
died away his days and frittered eway
his nights Finally the mobiles, who dis
liked Gaveston, captured him and put
him in Warwick castle, and in 1919 the
royal favorite was mortified to find near
him large pool Of blood, and on fur
ther search discovered his own head ly-
ing In the gutter of the court. Turning
sick at the CORY sight, he buried his face
in hts handkerchief and expired
The mobiles were forgiven afterward
by the king, who now turned his atten-
ttun to the victorious Scotia
Stirling castle and the fortress Of
Berwick alone remained to the English,
and Robert Bruce was besiegtng the
latter.
