To the astonishment of the English army the Scots quickly finished their prayers and started to advance towards them. In the English camp a row broke out between Edward and the Earl of Gloucester as Gloucester told him that the men needed some rest.

As the Vita Edwardi Secundi describes;

鈥淏ut the king, growing very heated with him, charged him with treachery and deceit.鈥� "Today," said the Earl, "it will be clear that I am neither a traitor nor a liar," and at once prepared himself for battle.鈥�

The young Gloucester, one of the most powerful men in England was enraged by this. He jumped on his horse and rode straight at the Scots.
