What is recorded here
The Battle of Annan, also referred to in contemporary sources as the Camisade of Annan, took place on 16 December 1332 in the town of Annan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Edward Balliol had seized the Scottish crown three months earlier following his victory at the Battle of Dupplin Moor (10–11 August 1332).
Edward Balliol's forces defeated a Scottish royal army loyal to David II at the Battle of Annan on 16 December 1332. The victory allowed Balliol to briefly reclaim the Scottish throne, marking a significant moment in the ongoing Wars of Scottish Independence.
