 In the autumn of 1543 Scotland and England signed two agreements which are often referred to as "The Treaties of Greenwich".The first guaranteed peace between the two countries for a fixed period of time and the second affirmed that an arranged marriage would take place between Prince Edward of England, the son of Henry VIII, and Mary, Queen of Scots, soon after her tenth birthday.At the beginning of 1544 the relationship between England and Scotland began to worsen as it had done so many times before.
