Reneival of War 139 ties, and succeeded (1290) in negotiating tlie betrothal of the little queen of Scots to Edward, his son and heir. By the terms of the marriage treaty Scotland was to remain " separate and divided and free in itself, without subjection to the realm of England. " Before the year was out, Edward's plans were unhappily set at naught by the death of the Maid of Norway. Mar- garet was the last of the direct royal line of Scotland, and at once a number of claimants to the crown ap...peared. Per- plexed, the regents turned to Edward for advice, but he refused to interfere unless his overlordship was recognized. To this the barons finally agreed, although the commons are recorded to have made some objection. His claims once accepted, Edward acted with fairness and wisdom, giving his decision finally in favor of John Balliol, grandson of John BallioL the eldest daughter of David, brother of William the Lion ( 1 165-12 14). The award of Norham was accepted by the Scots, and in 1292 Balliol was crowned king at Scone, and paid homage to Edward as his feudal lord.
