The Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton of March 1328 formally recognised Scottish independence and Bruce as king, ending the First War of Independence. The military context that produced it included the humiliation of Byland 1322, the Weardale campaign 1327 when Scotland outmanoeuvred a much larger English army, and the political collapse of Edward II's regime. The treaty was negotiated partly at Edinburgh and ratified at Northampton; it renounced all English claims to feudal suzerainty over Scotland, though Edward III repudiated it within five years.
