Description
The Battle of Flodden 1513 by John Sadler and Rosie Serdville In 1513, two armies clashed in what would become one of Scotland's most infamous battles. A force of 30,000 men led by King James IV crossed the border into England, ostensibly seeking revenge for a Scotsman's murder, but actually to aid their French allies against Henry VIII. The English army, with its more advanced artillery and skilled longbowmen, proved decisive in the conflict. The Scots, hampered by outdated tactics and equipment, suffered heavy losses when King James IV was killed during a charge. This pivotal moment left the Scottish forces in disarray, ultimately securing an English victory. This book provides a detailed account of the Battle of Flodden 1513, exploring the events leading up to the battle and its aftermath.
