'''John Baliol''' (c. 1249 - late 1314) also known as Toom Tabard (meaning Empty Coat) was chosen by [[Edward I]] of [[England]] as ruler of [[Scotland]]. Baliol worked towards improving and modernising the Scottish law system by appointing many new sheriffs. Baliol also worked to further increase international trade, especially with [[France]].

However, since Baliol was chosen by Edward I, this made the English king think he could be Scotland's overlord. He summoned Baliol to appear in English courts and demanded that Scottish nobles join the English army.
