# The Treaty of Edinburgh provides for French withdrawal from Scotland

Date: 1560

## The fact

On 6 July 1560 the Treaty of Edinburgh provided for French withdrawal from Scotland after an English intervention. It is a dated diplomatic instrument, not the 1588 naval war and not a 1707 union. Elizabeth I’s documented role is: English commissioners sealed a treaty after an intervention. Cecil negotiated; French and Scottish parties signed; she did not march in person. Do not twin this with the 1588 Armada. Do not treat 1560 as the later Union. Later editors, printers, and excavators remain named where they appear.

## Context

The death of Mary of Guise and the Lords of the Congregation had already opened a Protestant path in Scotland. Cecil’s mission, an English army, and French negotiators share the file. Elizabeth’s caution about aiding rebels is part of the same year, not a reason to drop the treaty. Named others on the file: William Cecil, English commanders, French commissioners, and Scottish lords share the instrument. The public setting is the file around 1560-07-06. Unnamed clerks, soldiers, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. The instrument stays The Treaty of Edinburgh provides for French withdrawal from Scotland. The setting of The Treaty of Edinburgh provides for French withdrawal from Scotland is the public file around 1560-07-06.
