Sir Andrew Harclay or Hartley (anglicized from Andreas de Harcla), Earl of Carlisle (d. 1323) was an important English military leader in the borderlands with Scotland during the reign of Edward II.
Later in 1322, the new earl was at Edward's defeat by the Scots at Old Byland, and afterwards the north of England became very hard to defend against Scottish raiding. Apparently Carlisle decided to take matters into his own hands, and met with Robert I of Scotland to propose peace terms. His intentions were probably honorable, and the resulting proposal was not unreasonable, but nevertheless King Edward could deem it nothing less than treason. Carlisle was arrested, and executed on March 3, 1323.

ROBERT I., "THE Bruce" (1274-1329), king of Scotland, was the son of the 7th Robert de Bruce, earl of Carrick by right of his wife Marjorie, daughter of Niel, or Nigel, earl of Carrick, and was the eighth in direct male descent from a Norman baron who came to England with William the Conqueror.
Two days later Isabella, countess of Buchan, claimed the right of her family, the Macduffs, earls of Fife, to place the Scottish king on his throne, and the ceremony was repeated with an addition flattering to the Celtic race.
At Carlisle there was published a bull excommunicating Bruce; and Elizabeth his wife, Marjorie his daughter, and Christina his sister, were captured in a sanctuary at Tain, while three of his brothers were executed.
