The Treaty of of Edinburgh–Northampton between England and Scotland, recognizing Scottish independence is signed by Robert the Bruce in Edinburgh on March 17, 1328 and ratified by the English Parliament on behalf of 15-year old King Edward III in Northampton on April 24, 1328
The treaty ended the First War of Scottish Independence, which began in 1296. The treaty was widely unpopular in England and did not last for long; within a few years hostilities returned and the treaty was overturned by Edward III in 1333, leading to the Second War of Scottish Independence.
