Life in the UK Test 34
By 1200, the English ruled an area of Scotland known as the Pale, around Edinburgh.
Correct Answer: False
False. The Pale was an area of Ireland under effective English rule, centred around Dublin — not Scotland. The phrase "beyond the Pale" (meaning outside accepted norms) derives from this boundary.
By 1200, England had significant influence in parts of Ireland following the Norman invasions of the 12th century, but Scotland remained largely independent under its own kings. Scotland and England fought a series of wars for independence throughout the 13th and 14th centuries.
