Everything about The Treaty Of York totally explained
The
Treaty of York was signed by
Henry III of England and
Alexander II of Scotland in
1237. The
treaty set the
border between
England and
Scotland. The agreement specifically defined the boundary between the two kingdoms as running between the
Solway Firth (in the west) and the mouth of the
River Tweed (in the east). It remains the border to this day, with the exception of a small area around
Berwick, which was taken by England in
1482. With the Treaty of York, Alexander II abandoned traditional Scottish claims to the regions of
Northumbria, south of the Tweed, and
Cumbria. Northumbria had history, predating the competing claims of England and Scotland, as a kingdom stretching from the
Humber to the
Forth.
