Robert Bruce killed John Comyn at Greyfriars in Dumfries and then moved quickly to Scone to be crowned king of Scots. Comyn's death supplied the target for Edward I's vow at the Feast of the Swans and tied the knighting celebrations directly to the coming Scottish campaign. The same passage returns to the Warenne network through Alice de Warenne's marriage to Edmund FitzAlan and John de Warenne's marriage to Joan of Bar. Scottish succession and English aristocratic alliance-building unfold together through those weddings.
