" In all the wars with England, no other Scottish king ever came so far. It was an incredible achievement. Alexander's head must have swelled with every passing day. He was 17 and he was on the brink of achieving his family's longest-held ambition. Half of Britain was nearly his. But then fate dealt a devastating blow. King John died. On the face of it, his death should have been good news for Alexander, but with John out of the way, the need for the barons' war vanished. The barons who had once opposed King John now flocked to his son's side - the new king, Henry III. Both Alexander, King of Scots, and Louis, the French prince, had outgrown their usefulness. The English barons sent them packing. There was no deal for Alexander - all of his grand ambitions fizzled out. Henry III reissued Magna Carta and all references to Alexander's claims were omitted - not even a footnote. Despite loud protests, the ground was cut from beneath his feet and he was left out in the cold. And it got worse. The Pope gave his backing to Henry III. Alexander found himself excommunicated... ... the powers of the Scottish church suspended. Back to square one.
