The Treaty of Ripon was an agreement signed by Charles I of Scotland and the Scots on October 26 1640 in the aftermath of the Second Bishops' War. The treaty was a major setback for Charles, and its terms were deeply humiliating. The Treaty stipulated that Northumberland and County Durham were to be ceded to the Scots as an interim measure, left Newcastle in the control of the Scots, and that Charles was to pay the Scots £850 a day to maintain their armies there. This Treaty led to the recall of Parliament, which is now known as the Long Parliament and is one of the major stepping stones to the outbreak of the English Civil War.
