Scots king Alexander II dies on his flagship during his 1249 attempt to wrest the Hebrides from Norway.

His seven year old son by Mary of Courcy assumes the throne as Alexander III.

Henry III of England takes advantage of the situation by attempting to establish suzerainty over Scotland, but the bishop of St. Andrews, supported by Pope Innocent IV, prevents it.
