Wow... some of these comments gave me an instant headache... >.< If my history professors weren't lying to me for the last 3 years, nothing posted thus far is anywhere near historically accurate.
Scotland and England have been going at each other for centuries. England -did- invade a few times, andclaimed Scotland numerous times, but it was mostly nominal and Scottish independence remained. Likewise, Scottish incursions did take place from time to time. They only "joined" when Elizabeth died sans-heir and the English nobility decided Charles I (son of Mary, Queen of Scots) would do for a king, and asked him down from Scotland. This was around 1600-1603 C.E. or so, I think.
So, amusingly, Charles was the first king to actually, effectively rule both England and Scotland in truth, and he was from -Scotland-.
Food for thought from some dumb history major overseas.
