Richard I, desperate for funds for the Third Crusade, sold William the Lion the cancellation of the humiliating Treaty of Falaise for 10,000 marks. The Quitclaim of Canterbury restored Scotland's independence and abolished the vassal relationship imposed after William's capture at Alnwick in 1174. Richard famously said he would sell London itself if he could find a buyer. For Scotland, the purchase was one of the best investments ever made -- the restoration of independence at the price of gold rather than blood.
