Pascakekalahan Inggris dalam Pertempuran Bannockburn, Earl Lancaster dan Earl Warwick melihat pengaruh politikn mereka meningkat naik, sehingga mereka pun mendesak Edward untuk memberlakukan kembali Ordinansi tahun 1311.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=239, 243}}</ref> Earl Lancaster menjadi kepala [[majelis istana]] pada tahun 1316, dan berjanji akan melaksanakan Ordinansi melalui panitia pembaharu yang baru, tetapi tampaknya ia mengundurkan diri tak lama kemudian, mungkin lantaran ketidaksepahaman di antara para baron, dan mungkin pula karena alasan kesehatan.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=246, 267, 276}}; {{harvnb|Haines|2003|p=104}}</ref> Earl Lancaster menolak bertemu dengan Edward di parlemen sampai dua tahun kemudian, sehingga menghambat penyelenggaraan pemerintahan. Keadaan ini memustahilkan segala macam rencana untuk kembali memerangi Skotlandia sekaligus memunculkan kekhawatiran akan pecahnya perang saudara.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=280, 282–283, 294}}; {{harvnb|Tebbit|2005|p=205}}</ref> Sesudah melewati perundingan panjang, yang sekali lagi terselenggara berkat jasa Earl Pembroke, Edward dan Earl Lancaster akhirnya sepakat menandatangani [[Traktat Leake]] pada bulan Agustus 1318, yang berisi pernyataan penganugerahan pengampunan kepada Earl Lancaster beserta kubunya, serta pembentukan majelis istana yang baru. Traktat Leake mampu merukunkan kedua belah pihak untuk sementara waktu.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=308, 330}}; {{harvnb|Haines|2003|p=112}}</ref>
Kesukaran-kesukaran yang dihadapi Edward
Meanwhile, Robert the Bruce exploited his victory at Bannockburn to raid northern England, initially attacking Carlisle and Berwick, and then reaching further south into [[Lancashire]] and [[Yorkshire]], even threatening York itself.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=248, 281, 329, 343–348}}</ref> Edward undertook an expensive but unsuccessful campaign to stem the advance in 1319, but the famine made it increasingly difficult to keep his garrisons supplied with food.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=343–348}}; {{harvnb|Haines|2003|p=97}}</ref> Meanwhile, a Scottish expedition led by Robert's brother successfully invaded Ireland in 1315, where [[Edward Bruce]] declared himself the [[King of Ireland]].<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=248, 253–54}}</ref> He was finally defeated in 1318 by Edward II's Irish justiciar, Edmund Butler, at the [[Battle of Faughart]], and Edward Bruce's severed head was sent back to the King.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=256–258}}</ref> Revolts also broke out [[Banastre Rebellion|in Lancashire]] and [[Bristol]] in 1315, and in [[Glamorgan]] in Wales in 1316, but were suppressed.<ref>{{harvnb|Phillips|2011|pp=247–248}}; {{harvnb|Haines|2003|pp=98–99}}</ref>
