Background: Largs is a burgh in North Ayrshire, Scotland about 33 miles from Glasgow. It is a popular seaside resort with a pier. The town was the site of the Battle of Largs in 1263, in which a Scottish army attacked the Norse armies of King Magnus III of Mann and the Isles and his ally King Haakon IV of Norway, in a confrontation that led to the death of King Haakon on Orkney soon after. As a result of the battle the Hebrides came under Scottish rule as did the Isle of Man in 1266 after the demise of King Magnus III.
