1560

Treaty of Edinburgh

The Treaty of Edinburgh, signed in 1560, was an agreement between England, Scotland, and France. It primarily aimed to end the French presence in Scotland, following the English intervention in the Scottish Reformation. The treaty also paved the way for the withdrawal of both English and French troops from Scotland, ensuring that Scotland remained an independent nation without foreign military interference. Importantly, it set the stage for the Scottish Reformation Parliament later that year, which marked the beginning of Protestant dominance in Scotland.
