Background

Despite the excommunication of the Scottish king, Robert I (Robert the Bruce) for the killing of John Comyn of Badenoch in the chapel of the Minorites at Dumfries in February 1306, he was crowned King of Scots at Scone on March 25, 1306. King Edward I of England responded by sending an army of 3000 cavalry, under the dreaded Dragon Banner, to capture Bruce and anyone who supported his cause. As commander Edward chose Aymer de Valence, the later Earl of Pembroke, brother in law of the recently murdered John Comyn.

The Scottish army camped for the night a few miles west of Perth at Methven, but during the night the English forces conducted a surprise attack on the Scots.
