    The Treaty of Boulogne

    A Peace treaty between France, England and Scotland.

    Boulogne was returned to the French, Englad removed the garrisons from Scotland, the Anglo-Scottish border was restored to pre Henry VIII's campaigns and a marriage alliance was set up between England and France.
