Treaty of Edinburgh Between France and England, Recognizing Sovereignty of Mary Queen of Scots

The Treaty of Edinburgh is signed in 1560 between France and England, effectively ending the siege of Leith and concluding French military involvement in Scotland. The treaty recognizes the sovereignty of Mary, Queen of Scots, and her husband, Francis II of France, while also affirming the withdrawal of both French and English troops from Scotland. Although it aimed to secure peace and Scottish independence, Mary refused to ratify the treaty, as it also required her to renounce her claim to the English throne.
