How did Robert the Bruce renew the Scottish war against Edward I?

Robert the Bruce renewed the Scottish war against Edward I by seizing the throne and positioning himself as a leader for national resistance. The catalyst for this revolt was the murder of John "the Red" Comyn, a rival for the crown, at a church in Dumfries on February 10, 1306.1

Following this act, Bruce hastened to Scone and was crowned Robert I on March 25, 1306. Edward I, who viewed the move as a rebellion and Bruce as a traitor, responded by attempting to crush the movement with his garrisons stationed throughout Scotland. Although Robert faced significant military setbacks in 1306—including defeats at Methven and Dalry—his coronation provided the necessary focus to mobilize Scottish national resistance against English governance. This conflict continued until the death of Edward I in 1307 and eventually culminated in the decisive Battle of Bannockburn under Edward I's successor, Edward II.123
