As William the Conqueror consolidated his power in England, forces in Lothian (what would later be called Scotland) consolidated behind Edinburgh to resist. By that time, Robert the Scot was already firmly in control of the domain.

	As Mithras's forces consolidated his control in the south, Lothian signed a non-aggression pact with Avalon. However, Robert never trusted the Methuselah's ambition, and assumed that the Ventrue would turn his attention north once he had pacified England and Wales. For centuries, Robert worked tirelessly behind the scenes to undermine Mithras's influence with his Barons. Toreador agents could be found in most Baronies, blandishing flattery and whispering of the rights of sovereign rulers. Over the centuries, Anarchs and Sabbat found subtle succor within Scotland, so long as they vented their destructive impulses south of the border. While Mithras remained attentive, Toreador agents found little success. As the Methuselah's attention wandered, Robert's envoys found attentive ears. Rumors of the height of Roman culture remained strong among the undead: Princelings aging along with their drafty keeps were eager to hear of a better life.

He combined the his external agitation with strong internal security. For the most part, only native Scots have been allowed to remain in Edinburgh. Others have been allowed to remain for a time, but sent on their way to do whatever mischief to Avalon the Prince could arrange.

			Things changed when his envoys found receptive ears in the Duke and Duchess of Amber. The opening they provided proved to be a disaster. The Ambers were exiled from power, and Mithras sent his warlord Aethelwulf, to subdue Scotland. Killing the warlord may have been necessary, but it brought Mithras personally to Robert's door. The ancient Ventrue personally destroyed Robert's most powerful retainers, and cornered him in his own haven. Robert did the only thing he could do: He knelt and pledged himself as one of Mithras's Barons and Satraps. He pledged to remain out of the affairs of England's monarchy, and increase the yearly tribute he sent to London, and severely restrict the actions of the Tremere within his domain.

			Since then, affairs have cooled down again. Robert has re-built his base of power in Edinburgh, but lost control of half of Scotland to the Fief of Glasgow. Robert's acts of rebellion must be subtle indeed, as Edinburgh is the first place Mithras turns his gaze when he detects something amiss. Today, the Kindred of Edinburgh are a close-knit community, suspicious of outsiders, and united in their opposition to Ventrue dominion over the Isles.
