# Treaty of Abernethy (1072)

URL: https://english-history.com/timeline/1072-treaty-of-abernethy

William campaigned into Scotland and King Malcolm III submitted on terms at Abernethy. Within the broader Norman & Angevin Britain period, Norman conquest, cross-Channel lordship and royal reform created a new aristocracy and a more centralized monarchy. This event is placed at 1072 in the chronology so it can be read alongside the political, military, social and cultural changes around it. The settlement demonstrated Norman England's growing influence over Scottish politics without conquering Scotland.
