http://dbpedia.org/resource/Sieges_of_Berwick_(1355_and_1356) an entity of type: Thing
The sieges of Berwick were the Scottish capture of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed on 6 November 1355 and their subsequent unsuccessful siege of Berwick Castle, and the English siege and recapture of the town in January 1356. In 1355 the Second War of Scottish Independence had been underway for over 22 years. After a period of quiescence the Scots, encouraged by the French who were fighting the English in the Hundred Years' War, assembled an army on the border. In September a truce was agreed and much of the English army left the border area to join King Edward III's campaign in France.

L'ultimo assedio si risolse in un nulla di fatto per assediati e assedianti e gli inglesi ripresero il controllo del castello nel gennaio del 1356.

The sieges of Berwick were the Scottish capture of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed on 6 November 1355 and their subsequent unsuccessful siege of Berwick Castle, and the English siege and recapture of the town in January 1356. In 1355 the Second War of Scottish Independence had been underway for over 22 years. After a period of quiescence the Scots, encouraged by the French who were fighting the English in the Hundred Years' War, assembled an army on the border. In September a truce was agreed and much of the English army left the border area to join King Edward III's campaign in France. In October the Scots broke the truce, invading Northumbria and devastating much of it. On 6 November a Scottish force led by Thomas, Earl of Angus, and Patrick, Earl of March, captured the town of Berwick in a pre-dawn escalade. They failed to capture the castle, which they besieged. Edward returned from France and gathered a large army at Newcastle. Most of the Scots withdrew, leaving a 130-man garrison in Berwick town. When the English army arrived the Scots negotiated a safe passage and withdrew. Edward went on to devastate a large part of southern and central Scotland. He was only prevented from worse depredations by his seaborne supplies not arriving due to bad weather.

L'ultimo assedio si risolse in un nulla di fatto per assediati e assedianti e gli inglesi ripresero il controllo del castello nel gennaio del 1356. Dopo la firma di una prima tregua nell'autunno del 1355, gli scozzesi ad ottobre ruppero questo patto invadendo la Northumbria e devastandola in larga parte. Il 6 novembre una forza scozzese guidata da e da , catturò la città di Berwick, ma non riuscì a conquistare il castello locale per il quale si rese necessario un assedio. Edoardo III d'Inghilterra ritornò dalla Francia e guidò un grande esercito verso Newcastle. Gran parte degli scozzesi si ritirò lasciando solo 130 uomini di guarnigione a Berwick. Quando l'esercito inglese giunse sul posto, gli scozzesi rimasti negoziarono ed ottennero un lasciapassare per fare ritorno in patria senza aggressioni. Edoardo si dedicò quindi a devastare la parte meridionale e centrale della Scozia e dovette desistere solo per la mancanza di rifornimenti e a causa del maltempo.
