John gained land and titles in Scotland through his
marriage to Devorguilla of Galloway, and this allowed his son, John de Balliol II, to become a contender for the vacant
Scottish throne in 1292. A council of Scottish and English lords, convened by King Edward I, chose John as the new
king. He swore loyalty to Edward, but once in power rejected the authority of the English king. In 1296 Edward marched
to Scotland and John surrenderedhis right to the Scottish throne and was imprisoned in the Tower of London. All of his
English estates were confiscated, although he was later allowed to retire to his family estates in Picardy.
