Back to the Plantagenets Again calendar
In 1328 the treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton was signed by Robert the Bruce, who signed in Edinburgh and by the English
parliament which was meeting in Northampton. The treaty said that Scotland was an independent kingdom, Robert the Bruce and his heirs were the rightful
rulers and the border between the two countries was the one used during the reign of Alexander III, the Scottish ruler between 1249 and 1286.
Edward III, or probably Mortimer and mummy, also agreed, although it wasn't in the treaty, that England would return the Stone of Scone taken by
Edward I. Sure enough 668 years later, in 1996, it was returned to Scotland but it was agreed it would be brought down to England when there is next a coronation.
Forward to 1337AD
