Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton

The Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton, signed in 1328, was an agreement between England and Scotland that officially recognized Scotland's independence after a long conflict known as the Wars of Scottish Independence. The treaty established peace and defined Scotland's borders, reaffirming Robert the Bruce as the Scottish king. It aimed to end hostilities and foster better relations between the two nations. However, the treaty was not fully upheld, leading to further conflicts in the following years. It remains an important historical document illustrating Scotland's struggle for sovereignty and the complexities of English-Scottish relations.
