edward i
the first war of independence began in the reign of king john balliol. his short reign was bedeviled by edward i's insistence on his overlordship of scotland. the scottish leadership concluded that only war could release the country from the english king's continued weakening of balliol's sovereignty and so finalised a treaty of reciprocal assistance with france in october 1295. the scots forayed into england in march 1296—this incursion together with the french treaty angered the english king and provoked an invasion of scotland taking berwick on 30 march before defeating the scots army at dunbar on 27 april. john balliol submitted to edward and resigned the throne to him before being sent to london as a prisoner. despite this, resistance to the english led by william wallace and andrew moray had emerged in the name of king john balliol. on their deaths, robert the bruce continued to resist the english and eventually succeeded in defeating the forces of edward ii of england and gained the scottish throne for himself.

one example of an animal species that has bred without limit is the cuban tree frog ("osteopilus septentrionalis"). the cuban tree frog found its way to florida after hitching a ride in shipping containers on trading boats and ships. as its name implies, the frog is native to cuba. florida's warm, rainy and humid weather is the perfect environment for the cuban tree frog to reproduce and breed. the only thing that seems to cause sharp declines in their populations are freezes, or unusually cold winters. these frogs have spread up and down the coast of florida as well as around the central florida area. they eat various types of insects and spiders, but are also cannibalistic and have caused the native florida tree frog populations to decrease as they feed on them. "cuban treefrogs are 'sit-and-wait' predators. on warm nights in florida, it is common to encounter cuban treefrogs hanging on walls and windows near lighted areas as they sit and wait for insects (and native treefrogs) to be attracted to the lights. as they feed, they defecate on the windows and walls, and their fecal deposits can become unsightly over time, especially if there are a lot of frogs in the area. furthermore, when a person enters or exits his or her home at night, cuban treefrogs that are waiting for an insect meal may be startled and as a result will occasionally jump onto people or into their homes through open doors. " the frog is native to areas such as:
