His father had begun a war with Scotland to recapture lost homes which were captured by the Scots

during
the reign of Edward II and began the military operations accepted by Edward III's forefather, Edward I of
England, retrieving English lands similar as Berwick- Upon- Tweed. Edward III took his forefather's military
strategies and tactics against the Scots to retaliate the humiliating defeat of the English under Edward II at the
Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and this time, Edward III defeated the Scots at the decisive Battle of Halidon
Hill in 1333, killing numerous Scottish patricians and routing the entire Scottish army. Edward III was
suitable to recover the country politically and militarily, and was ate as a" great champion of the English
nation".
