He was born ''circa.'' 1283, and began his career of usurpation in 1332, after the death of [[Robert the Bruce]], and the succession of his infant son [[David II]]. Balliol, backed by [[Edward III]] of England, invaded from France (where he had been in exile) and defeated David's Regent, the Earl of Mar. He was crowned at Scone in September 1332 (although almost to a man the lay nobles of Scotland stayed away), but forced to flee in December, when Scots nobles loyal to [[David II|David]] made a suprise attack.<br>
The English restored Edward to his stolen throne in 1333, in time for him to cede the entire region of Lothian to the English crown, and to pay homage to [[Edward III|Edward]] as his ''liege'' (thereby technically extinguishing the Scots crown, reducing the country to the status of an English shire). In 1334 he was deposed, restored in 1335, and finally disposed of in 1336 when [[David II]] returned from France, with the support of the [[France|French]] king, Philip, by then at war with Edward of England).
