Henry was helped by loyalty of Key officials/alongside Willof Scots weak leadership.
King William did add the the severity but the danger was limited by weak leadership.
1174:Battle of Alnwick- William charges ' Now we shall see which of us has the best knights'
William was captured by Henry's troops led by Ranulf de Glanvill. - transfered to Normandy
Durning this time Henry stormed scotland- Led to the treaty of Falaise - William submitted to Henry at York and signed the treaty accepting Henry as a feudal superior.
WILLIAMS RECKLESS LEADERSHIP CONTRIBUTED TO FAILURE BUT THE NORTHERN MENS LOYALITY ASWELL AS ENGLISH GENERALS WAS KEY TO SCOTLANDS COLLAPSE.
