Under the condition that the heiress of Scotland Margaret, the Maid of Norway, would marry Edward, Scotland was to remain separate and divided from England according to its rightful boundaries, free in itself and without subjection.The treaty proved ineffectual, both because Margaret died en route to Scotland in 1290, and because English negotiators had included enough reservations to render the independence clauses useless.
