Don Pedro de Ayala, acting as the commissioner of the Scottish King, helps negotiate a treaty between England and Scotland signed on September 30, 1497, at St Dionysius's Church in Ayton in Berwickshire.

The commissioners for England are William Warham, Richard Foxe and John Cartington.

The other Scottish commissioners are Bishop Elphinstone, Andrew Forman, Sir Patrick Hume of Fastcastle, and Master Richard Lawson.

A seven-year truce between England and Scotland is agreed, from sunrise that day until sunset on September 30, 1504.

Shipping and trade are to be conducted according to the previous Treaty of York of 1464.

Border wardens on either side are given new powers, especially regarding the execution of cross-border murderers after twenty days detention, and capital punishment for thieves caught red-handed.

Criminals seeking cross-border asylum will be returned or banished after twenty days.

Neither King should harbor the other's rebels.

Berwick, a disputed border town, is specifically included in the abstinence from war.

Neither King is to demolish or restore the fishgarth, a salmon trap at Kirkandrews on Esk.

James gives Ayala authority to negotiate extensions and revisions.

In its final form, the Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella are appointed to arbitrate future disputes and unresolved issues such as redress for damages caused by the recent invasions.

On either side a number of men are appointed as Conservators of the truce with powers to oversee border justice to maintain the Treaty.
