'''John King of Scots''' (c. 1248 - 1314) is usually known as '''John Balliol''' or, correctly, '''John de Balliol'''. He was born in [[1248]]. 

After the death of [[Margaret of Scotland (Maid of Norway)|Margaret of Scotland]] in 1290, John Balliol was one of three major competitors for the throne. King Edward concluded that he was going to pick Balliol as king of Scotland at [[Scone, Perth and Kinross|Scone]], 30th November, 1292, [[Saint Andrew|St. Andrew]]'s Day.

[[Edward I of England|Edward I]] steadily undermined the authority of King John. He treated Balliol like a 'Puppet King' and the Scots were not happy. At the [[Battle of Dunbar (1296)|Battle of Dunbar]] King Edward's men slaughtered and wiped out the town of Berwick killing around 8000 people in the brutal killing.

He was stripped of his authority as king and was sent away to [[France]] by King Edward. He later died there. 

His son [[Edward Balliol]] would later claim the Scottish throne from 1332 until 1356.
