William the Lion, king of the Scots, …
Years: 1173 - 1173
November
William the Lion, king of the Scots, had inherited the title of Earl of Northumbria in 1152, but had had to relinquish this title in 1157 to King Henry II of England.
He will spend much of his reign trying to regain his lost territory.
Seeing his opportunity while Henry II is occupied in fighting against his sons in the Revolt of 1173–1174, William invades Northumbria in 1173.
He advances on Newcastle but finds the partly-built stone castle too strong to allow him to take the town.
