 The Treaty of Edinburgh in 1328 did not end the Scottish Wars of Independence. Edward III was always of the opinion that he was not really bound by that Treaty of Edinburgh as it was his mother who had signed it. Further attempts by England to assert its control over Scotland followed. As invasion was followed by counter attack, Edward III must have thought history was repeating itself. Again and again he had to intervene in Scottish affairs just as his father and grandfather had done. There were to be no more Bannockburns but Scotland retained its independence. The relationship between Scotland and England was never easy, even up until the Union of Parliaments in 1707.
