 Richard I of England, needing money to finance his crusade, abrogated the Treaty of Falaise in return for a subsidy from the Scots, who, although still asking for the return of Cumbria and Northumbria from both Richard (1189–1199) and John (1199–1216), were refused any concessions.John continued the policy of strengthening royal control over the northern territories, particularly in the business of gathering various unpopular taxes.However, the lack of fighting over the border settlement changed for the worse when the civil war broke out in England between King John and his nobles in 1215.
