  • Notes 
    • In response to an uprising led by Sir William Wallace in 1297, Edward I‟s cam paign of 1298 went as far
      north as Perth, and then went down the west coast, through Lanark, Ayr, Galloway, and back into England.
      Fulk le Strange (1267-1324), the would-be 1st Lord Strange of Blackmere (1309), was summoned from Sussex
      to meet the king at York on Pentecost, 1298/5/25, and from there to join an expedition to Scotland.9 The Battle
      of Falkirk (1298/7/22) occasioned the first significant use of the longbow. When he next departed for Scotland
      on 1299/11/16, Fulk received a waiver on debts due the king until Easter next, and letters of protection valid
      until Michaelmas next.
      Johan Lestraunge, or John le Strange V ( circa 1252-1309), 1st Lord Strange of Knockin, was summoned
      to join Edward I at Carlisle, Cumberland, in 1298 for the Battle of Falkirk,12 and again in 1299. The muster in
      1299 was rescheduled and did not actually occur until the Eve of Saint John the Baptist, 1300/6/24.13 Fulk le
      Strange received orders from the Justice of Chester for the same muster on 1300/4/14.14
