The Stone of Destiny, also known as the Stone of Scone, was stolen in 1296 by King Edward I of England during his campaign against Scotland. Edward sought to assert his dominance over the Scots and believed that possessing the stone, which was traditionally used in the coronation of Scottish kings, would symbolize his control over Scotland. The theft was part of a broader effort to unify the British Isles under English rule and to diminish Scottish sovereignty. The stone was later returned to Scotland in 1996.
