In 1308, he married Isabella of France, the daughter of the powerful King Philippe IV, as part of a long-running effort to resolve the tensions between the English and French crowns. Faced discontent among his barons because of his favorite Piers Gaveston. He lost Scotland at Bannockburn in 1314. Isabella allied herself with the exiled Roger Mortimer, and invaded England in 1326.
