Key Events of 1292
A New King for Scotland
On November 17, 1292, John Balliol became the new King of Scotland. He was chosen by King Edward I of England from 13 people who wanted the job. However, King Edward I treated John Balliol like a "puppet ruler." This means John had to do what Edward wanted. Scotland was also treated as a "vassal state," which meant it was under England's control. This situation later led to the famous Wars of Scottish Independence, which started in 1296.

In Asia, the Lanna kingdom in northern Thailand grew stronger. It took over the Mon kingdom of Haripunchai.
Also, the Vaghela family, who ruled in Gujarat, was defeated. They were taken over by the Yadava family from Daulatabad in the Deccan Plateau.
