Scottish Medieval History spans from the 5th to the late 15th century, marked by the establishment of the Kingdom of Scotland in the 9th century. This period saw the rise of notable figures like King David I, who promoted feudalism and the spread of Christianity, and the conflicts with neighboring England, particularly during the Wars of Scottish Independence in the 13th and 14th centuries. The medieval era also witnessed the development of distinct Scottish culture, including the use of the Scots language and the emergence of Scottish clans. The Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 was a significant victory for Scotland, solidifying its national identity and independence from English rule.
