I've found these two sentences online:
1) "The English governors of southern Scotland recorded long lists of landowners forfeited for their refusal to enter English allegiance in 1334 and 1335."
2) "There were supporters of Edward Balliol who entered the English allegiance, and figures such as William of Liddesdale and George Dunbar, Earl of March, were also sometime in the English allegiance (King and Etty, 2015, pp. 21, 170–81)."

In one of them 'the' is used in front of 'allegiance' and in the other it is not. Are both correct?
