Between 1318 and 1322, the Scots, under <a href="/wiki/James_Douglas,_Lord_of_Douglas" title="James Douglas, Lord of Douglas">James Douglas, Lord of Douglas</a>, made raids into <a href="/wiki/Yorkshire" title="Yorkshire">Yorkshire</a>, devastating great parts of the country, destroying churches and sacking the richest monasteries. These continued raids led to a dispute between the <a href="/wiki/City_of_York" title="City of York">City of York</a> and Melton regarding the responsibility for the upkeep of part of the city's <a href="/wiki/Motte_and_bailey" class="mw-redirect" title="Motte and bailey">motte and bailey</a> defences known as the <a href="/wiki/Old_Baile" class="mw-redirect" title="Old Baile">Old Baile</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> During the raid of 1319, the King was at the <a href="/wiki/Capture_of_Berwick_(1318)" class="mw-redirect" title="Capture of Berwick (1318)">siege of Berwick</a> and much of the trained soldiery was there with him. Archbishop Melton collected what men he could and led them against the Scots. Clergy, friars and citizens of York were accordingly gathered and the result was the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Myton" title="Battle of Myton">Battle of Myton</a> (12 October 1319) on the Swale, in which the English were entirely routed. <a href="/wiki/Isabella_of_France" title="Isabella of France">Queen Isabella</a>, who was in York at the time, managed to escape to safety at Nottingham. So many clergy died, mainly trying to swim the River Swale to escape, that Scots referred to it as the Chapter of Myton. <sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Connected with the Scottish raids of 1322 was the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Boroughbridge" title="Battle of Boroughbridge">battle of Boroughbridge</a>, in which the <a href="/wiki/Thomas,_2nd_Earl_of_Lancaster" title="Thomas, 2nd Earl of Lancaster">Earl of Lancaster</a> was taken prisoner, led from <a href="/wiki/Boroughbridge" title="Boroughbridge">Boroughbridge</a> to his own castle of Pontefract and there beheaded. Archbishop Melton had aided Lancaster at one point, and seems, in consequence, to have fallen into some disfavour with Edward II. By 1325 however, the King's good opinion had been recovered, since Melton then became <a href="/wiki/Lord_High_Treasurer" title="Lord High Treasurer">Lord Treasurer of England</a> until 1326.<sup id="cite_ref-Handbook104_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Handbook104-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Melton did not desert Edward II in his latter days, regarding his imprisonment with great displeasure. Nor was he present at the coronation of <a href="/wiki/Edward_III_of_England" title="Edward III of England">Edward III</a>, and is said afterwards to have been engaged in a dangerous intrigue to upset the new government, for which he was arrested, though acquitted. In January 1328, Melton married the young king to <a href="/wiki/Philippa_of_Hainault" title="Philippa of Hainault">Philippa of Hainault</a>.
