Burnt Candlemas was a failed invasion of Scotland in early 1356 by an English army commanded by King Edward III, and was the last campaign of the Second War of Scottish Independence. Tensions on the Anglo-Scottish border led to a military build-up by both sides in 1355. In September a nine-month truce was agreed, and most of the English forces left for northern France to take part in a campaign of the concurrent Hundred Years' War. A few days after agreeing the truce, the Scots, encouraged and subsidised by the French, broke it, invading and devastating Northumberland. In late December the Scots escaladed and captured the important English-held border town of Berwick-on-Tweed and laid siege to its castle. The English army redeployed from France to Newcastle in northern England.

  • L'incendio della Candelora, fu uno scontro delle guerre d'indipendenza scozzesi combattuto tra il gennaio ed il febbraio del 1356 nel territorio del Lothian, in Scozia. Fu un tentativo fallito di re Edoardo III d'Inghilterra di invadere la Scozia e fu l'ultimo scontro della guerra d'indipendenza scozzese che si concluse con la devastazione della regione del Lothian che divenne per l'appunto nota come "incendio della Candelora" in riferimento all'annuale festività cristiana che all'epoca prevedeva che si accendessero in chiesa pile di candele per il 2 febbraio.
