Edward invaded Scotland again and won a brilliant but inconclusive victory at Falkirk (1298). Campaigns in the following years led to Wallace's defeat (1305) and execution, but a new leader, Robert I , arose as king of a still defiant Scotland. Edward commenced an expedition against him in 1307 but died before reaching the border.
