Beschreibung:

The chronicle of Lanercost also reveals an interesting perspective on the peace negotations that went into the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton.

The Chronicle of Lanercost describes, "In the same year, about the feast of the Ascension of the Lord Sir Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, and Sir Hugh Despenser the younger, with four other official personages, came to Newcastle-on-Tyne on the part of the King of England; and on the part of the King of Scotland came my lord Bishop of S. Andrews and Sir Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and four other duly authorised persons, to treat for peace between the kingdoms, or, at least, for a prolonged truce, and, by God's will, they speedily agreed upon a truce for thirteen years fully reckoned. When this was made public about the feast of S. Barnabas the Apostle, that truce was ratified and proclaimed in both kingdoms, on condition, however, that, because of the ex-communication of the Scots, neither people should buy of or sell to the other, nor hold any intercourse with each other, nor even go from one kingdom to the other without special letters of conduct. For the granting of such letters and licenses three notable persons for England and three persons for Scotland were appointed on the marches of the aforesaid kingdoms, and patrols were set on the marches to watch lest anyone should cross the march in any other
manner."

What does this say about peace?
The process to gain peace was highly systemized in these times and required people within specified roles to create and maintain. This creation of peace is also based around the separation of the English and Scottish people, which that each side believe conflict might arise from any proximity to eachother.
