Nevertheless, in the summer of this year, the Scots made a bold and successful incursion into England, under Randolph and Douglas, and King Edward was obliged, April 1328, to consent to the treaty of Northampton, which acknowledged at once the independency of the Scottish crown, and the right of Robert Bruce to wear it.
That the English king might not be supposed accessory to so gross a breach of the treaty, he issued a proclamation against their expedition; but they easily contrived to ship four hundred men at arms and three thousand infantry at Holderness, all of whom were safely landed on the coast of Fife, July 31, 1332.
In a parliament held at Edinburgh in February, he ratified the former treaty with King Edward, and soon after surrendered to that monarch the whole of the counties on the frontier, together with the province of Lothian, as part of the kingdom of England.

The treaty, known as the 'Shameful Peace', provided for alliance between the two countries, the lifting of the excommunication for Bruce, the marriage of Edward's sister Joan to Robert's son David, and a payment of £20,000 to the English king to sweeten the deal.
It is little wonder that the treaty was so disliked when the one tangible gain on the part of the English ended up enriching the individuals seen as betraying the country.
The Treaty of Northampton left the regency with the first solid peace in the north since the time of the Edward I's adjudication between Balliol and Bruce for the Scottish crown, and Isabella greatly richer.

Since the treaty of Paris (1259), the kings of England had been forced to hold Aquitaine as a fief from the kings of France, causing problem after problem.

In 1320 the Declaration of Arbroath, amongst other issues, entreated the Pope to recognise Robert as King and annul his excommunication - the Pope did not ascent to this request until 1328, paving way for the Treaty of Northampton.
