Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton

1328 · 14th century · Also known as Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton · Part of the First War of Scottish Independence

The Treaty of Edinburgh–Northampton, agreed at Edinburgh in March 1328 and ratified by the English parliament at Northampton in May, ended the First War of Scottish Independence. England recognised Robert I as king of an independent Scotland and gave up its claim to overlordship, and Robert's son David was to marry Edward III's sister Joan. Edward III later repudiated it.
