In August 1332, at the Battle of Dupplin Moor, the Disinherited forces, composed of exiled nobles and mercenaries, achieved a surprising victory over the loyalists of King Robert the Bruce. Their unexpected triumph saw the election of Edward Balliol as king, albeit briefly, as subsequent betrayals led to their downfall.
The Disinherited were largely disaffected nobles who had resisted the rule of Robert the Bruce. Many had familial claims to a rival throne, illustrating a complex web of alliances and animosities in 14th-century Scotland. Their daring victory at Dupplin Moor highlighted their resilience, but the internal strife soon dismantled their fragile hold on power.
