In medieval Scotland Galic was the most dominant language and the kingom was known as Alba. By 1200s the scottish royal family and ruling classes had adopted many Norman customs. They even speak a dialect of Northern England which is called “Scottis”. In medieval Scotland the troubled relation of Scotland with its neighboring nations help to forge national identity in the Scots. The wars of Scottish independence were a series of military campaign between England and Scotland in the late 13th and early 14th century. These wars were periods of great national crisis for Scotland and this period became one of the most defining in history.

Independence came in medieval Scotland and Willian Wallace and Robert the Bruce were the key players in this aspect. During the 13th century Scotland enjoyed a period of growth and prosperity under kings William the lion, Alexander II and Alexander III. This period is often called the “Golden Age” until the wars for independence started in the early 14th century. The church of Scotland was very powerful in the 13th century and influences the life of the people in many ways. The church literally governed the government. The church holds the supreme power in a state or nation.
