	David II of Scotland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		David became king of Scotland upon the death of his father on June 7, 1329.
		David, who had possibly recognized Edward III as his feudal superior, returned at once to Scotland; but owing to the poverty of the kingdom it was found impossible to raise the ransom.
		David was not one of the more successful monarchs in Scottish history, but he has suffered from comparison with his illustrious father, and he was king under difficult objective conditions.

	History of the Monarchy > The Bruces > David II
		David II was the elder and only surviving son of Robert I and his second wife, Elizabeth de Burgh.
		David II, now aged 17, decided to invade England in support of his ally, France, but he was defeated and captured at the Battle of Neville's Cross, near Durham, on 17 October 1346.
		David's concern over the succession, his growing friendship with Edward III, and his anger at the rebellion of some of his Earls, led to his attempted agreement with Edward III, which said that if David himself died childless, the King of England should succeed to the Scottish throne.
