Strathclyde annexed

In 1034, the Kingdom of Strathclyde, a Brittonic kingdom in what is now southwestern Scotland, was annexed to the Kingdom of Scotland under King Duncan I. This significant geopolitical change marked the end of Strathclyde's existence as an independent entity and its integration into the emerging Scottish nation. The annexation was part of a broader process of political consolidation in the British Isles during the early medieval period. The exact circumstances leading to the annexation are not entirely clear, but by the mid-11th century, Strathclyde was fully absorbed into Scotland, further solidifying the latter's territorial boundaries and cultural influence in the region.
