Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Flodden: Fought 9 Sept. 1513 During the reign of James IV., which extended from 1488 to 1513, Scotland underwent great improvement in the arts and in the general administration of justice. The entrance of that monarch into public life was unfavourable; for, about his seventeenth year, he appeared in arms against his father, when the latter was slain, and by way of atone ment for such error, he occasionally shut himself up for days in religious seclusion, and wore around his body an iron chain, to which he an hexed some additional weight every year. But when such periods of penance were over, he entered freely into society, and by his bland de portment to the nobles, and kindly hearing to the lowest of his subjects, he was much beloved and highly honoured. His love of sports and frolicksome disposition gained him, wherever he went, the cordial sym pathy and attachment of his people. He paid much attention to the art of healing, and prided himself upon being the best curer of wounds in his dominions. By his great constitutional vigour and temperate living, he practised with success all bodily exercises; and such was the order he maintained in his kingdom, that, with his cloak thrown around him and his hunting-knife by his side, he could have mounted on horse back, and, without a single attendant, travelled upwards of a hundred miles in perfect safety. Though no great scholar himself, he well knew the value of learning; for having a natural son, instead of appointing him to any office of civil importance, he placed him at Padua, in Italy, under charge of the celebrated Erasmus, and such were thc acquirements of the youth, that by the influence of his father and the authority of Pope Julius II., he was appointed, at an early age, Archbishop of St. Andrew's. At this period, in Scotland, considerable encouragement was given to liter ature; for the University of Aberdeen was now founded, and the king granted pensions, besides other gifts, to Blind Harry, the metrical his torian of W'allace, and to William Dunbar, a poet who in graphic ability and Horatian terseness of expression has not yet been surpassed, even0004 7.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Flodden and the Raids of 1513 Again, only a little consideration of the few known facts suffices to explain the part played by the Borderers on the other flank of the Scottish army. The charge of treasonable apathy, in not moving to the King's assistance, so generally levelled against their commander, Lord Home, melts into thin air, and we see in him a wise and gallant soldier, maintaining to the last a front to the foe, covering the retreat of a shattered army, and defending the Scottish frontier with a spear which was not shivered, ' with a shield which was not broken.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between Scotland and England has always been rocky. For most of their history they have been at loggerheads and frequently at war, and, even after the Act of Union of 1707 which united the two nations, there were at least four Scottish uprisings. Today, the Scottish threat to separate from the post-Brexit UK is well-known. England has historically viewed the northern nation as a threat, and Scotland for its part has feared, with justification, its richer and more powerful neighbor. Famous encounters between the two countries include Falkirk (1298), Bannockburn (1314), Solway Moss (1542), Prestonpans (1745) and Culloden (1746), but the Battle of Flodden, or Flodden Field, fought on September 9, 1513, was the largest and perhaps most spectacular of the clashes between the ancient enemies. It involved the deployment of 56,000 men and vies with the 1461 Battle of Towton during the Wars of the Roses as the largest battle ever fought on British soil. At the time of Flodden, England and Wales were ruled by the Tudor dynasty, founded by Henry VII in 1485. Henry had ended the seemingly endless war between the Yorkist and Lancaster factions of the House of Plantagenet when he defeated King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 2, 1485, but his own claim to the throne of England was shaky and easily subject to challenge. His mother was Margaret Beaufort, a descendant of John of Gaunt, third son of King Edward III, and his father, Edmund Tutor, was the son of the Dowager Queen of England, Catherine of Valois. At the time, there were numerous other candidates with stronger claims to the throne, so to strengthen his hold he married Elizabeth of York, daughter of King Edward IV. Even so, Henry was constantly looking over his shoulder to guard against the surviving Plantagenets, and he suppressed rebellions and discovered conspiracies over most of his 12 years in power. Before he died, Henry centralized government and replenished the royal coffers, often by ruthless means, and he sought to curtail the powers of the great noblemen. A new secret court, the Star Chamber, was established to diminish the great families of England, whose autonomy had fuelled the Yorkist and Lancaster factions during the Wars of the Roses. Feudalism had been in decline since the beginning of the previous century, but the higher aristocracy retained considerable powers within their regions and employed great numbers of retainers who could be mobilized as private armies. Henry was content to allow them a certain regional influence, but he cracked down on the number of followers they maintained. One thing Henry could not directly control was the tension with Scotland. Relations between Scotland and England had always been tempestuous. Local raiders, border disputes and competing agendas frequently put the nations at each other's throats, and periodic attempts by the English to conquer Scotland had stirred bitterness over the centuries. The English had never entirely conquered Scotland, and since Bannockburn they had been unable to claim any degree of control, but it was not until 1328 that they finally acknowledged Scotland's independence. On top of that, the nature of political marriages in England, and Europe in general, tied nations together even as they remained enemies. Indeed, throughout the 16th century, Scottish rulers would be eyed with suspicion by English royals who were fully aware that no shortage of Englishmen considered the Scottish royals the true heirs to England's throne. Flodden Field would be one of the biggest battles in English and Scottish history, yet the two countries would still be at war a generation later. Even further down the line, Mary, Queen of Scots would be imprisoned and executed as a threat to Queen Elizabeth I's reign, and Elizabeth would ultimately be the last of the Tudors. Upon her death, the childless queen was succeeded by Scotland's King James VI.

Book excerpt: This infamous battle was the scene where Scotland's "rose nobill"--James IV--lost his life to Henry VIII's army as he courageously, and perhaps recklessly, led his own into the battlefield. While Niall Barr looks at the revolutionary nature of the battle in terms of the way it was fought, he also examines the political and social forces that caused these two old enemies to clash once more.
