Written in 1320 by Scottish barons and earls, the declaration asked the Pope to recognise Scotland’s independence and acknowledge Robert the Bruce as the country’s lawful king. It was drawn up during Scotland’s long war of independence with England, which began with Edward I’s attempts to conquer Scotland in 1296.
