Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

The Treaty That Changed British History


Listen Later

On this day in Tudor history, 24th January 1502, King Henry VII and King James IV of Scotland signed the Treaty of Perpetual Peace—a bold agreement to end centuries of conflict between England and Scotland.
 
This treaty promised "good, real, and sincere peace… to last all time coming" and was sealed with a royal marriage: Margaret Tudor and James IV. 
 
But did this ambitious peace truly last? Just 11 years later, war erupted, and James IV met a tragic end at the Battle of Flodden. Yet, this treaty laid the groundwork for something extraordinary—the eventual Union of the Crowns in 1603. 
 
What happened to this grand vision of peace? And how did it shape the future of England and Scotland? Dive into this fascinating story of diplomacy, war, and legacy.
 
Watch now to uncover the twists and turns of this pivotal moment in Tudor history!
