Northampton, treaty of, 1328. On 4 May 1328 Edward III, or more precisely his mother
Isabella and Roger
Mortimer who then controlled the government, recognized Robert I ( Bruce) as king of Scotland and did not demand homage from him. Edward III was subsequently determined to overturn this ‘turpis pax’ and, encouraged by the success of Edward
Balliol against Robert's heir, invaded Scotland in 1333 to restore English lordship.
