Thomas Randolph

Randolph commanded a schiltron (spear formation) at Bannockburn, holding the left flank against English cavalry. His steadfast defense helped secure the Scottish victory over Edward II.

Randolph led a night assault on Edinburgh Castle, scaling the rock with a small force. The capture of this strategic fortress from the English was a major achievement in the Wars of Independence.

Randolph defeated an English army at Myton-on-Swale, Yorkshire, in a battle known as the 'Chapter of Myton'. The English force, composed largely of clergy and militia, was routed, securing the Scottish border.

Randolph, as regent of Scotland, negotiated and signed the Treaty of Edinburgh

After the death of Robert the Bruce, Randolph became regent of Scotland for the infant King David II. He governed Scotland effectively, maintaining peace and stability during the early years of David II's reign.
