1237 The Treaty of York was signed

The Treaty of York was an agreement between Henry III of England and Alexander II of Scotland, signed at York. It detailed the future status of several feudal properties and addressed other issues between the two kings, and indirectly marked the end of Scotland's attempts to extend its frontier southward. The Papal legate Otho was already in England at Henry's request to attend a Synod in London in November 1237, and had been informed by Henry of the September meeting at York, which he attended. A papal legate – from the Latin, authentic Roman title Legatus – is a personal representative of the pope to foreign nations, or to some part of the Catholic Church. He is empowered on matters of Catholic Faith and for the settlement of ecclesiastical matters.
