Treaty of Perpetual Peace

This article is about a treaty between England and Scotland. For the later such treaty, see Treaty of Perpetual Peace (1534). For other uses, see Perpetual Peace (disambiguation).

The Treaty of Perpetual Peace was signed by James IV of Scotland and Henry VII of England in 1502.[1] It agreed to end the intermittent warfare between Scotland and England which had been waged over the previous two hundred years, and, although it failed in this respect, as hostilities continued intermittently throughout the 16th century, it led to the Union of the Crowns 101 years later.
