David II of Scotland, held captive for eleven years at the English court, is thoroughly Anglicized at thirty-three.

From Windsor Castle in Berkshire, David and his household had later moved to Odiham Castle in Hampshire.

His imprisonment is not reputed to be a rigorous one.

After several protracted negotiations with the Scots' regency council, a treaty is signed on October 3, 1357, at Berwick-upon-Tweed under which Scotland's nobility agree to pay one hundred thousand marks (to be paid at the rate of ten thousand marks per year) as a ransom for their king.

This is ratified on November 6, 1357, by the Scottish Parliament at Scone.

David returns at once to Scotland.
