Answer

Explanation
This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part three: Edward I's military campaigns in Wales and Scotland. The evidence should connect to Study relations with Scotland, including the Great Cause, Scottish succession, Balliol, Bruce, Scottish campaigns, William Wallace, the First War of Scottish Independence and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.
Common mistake
Avoid confusing Great Cause
A common mistake is to write about Great Cause as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1272-1307.
Anchor the answer to Part three: Edward I's military campaigns in Wales and Scotland, use precise evidence, and state whether Great Cause is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
