Andrew Harclay had been appointed sheriff of Cumberland in 1311 and distinguished himself as a military leader; successfully defending Carlisle Castle from a siege by Robert the Bruce in 1315. He was given the title of Earl of Carlisle after leading royalist forces in the Battle of Boroughbridge 1322, defeating the rebels led by baron Thomas of Lancaster. However, frustrated with King Edward II's inactivity in defending the border regions, Harclay initiated peace negotiations with the Scots without royal sanction, which amounted to treason. After his death, his head was hung up on London Bridge and the four parts of his body were dispersed around the country, and displayed in Carlisle, Newcastle, Bristol, and Dover.
