Wow, someone actually did Flodden. Well done man!

Interesting how James' defensive position worked directly against him. He hemmed himself into a corner without the assurance that his artillery could defeat that of the English.

A big detail left out: James IV and his commanders fought at the front and could not properly command their troops. Which was a dumb idea but James IV was all about “chivalry” instead the English commanders were smartly, behind the line, on horseback 👍

Commemorated by the Scots to the day,with their (unofficial national) anthem 'The Flowers of the Forest' ;while on the English side,the Howards, as premier non-royal peers of England regained their Duchy of Norfolk(1483),as well as being commemorated in their personal heraldry with the 1st quartering depicting the Royal Lion of Scotland pierced through the mouth with an arrow !

What most don't realize is that the front lines of the Scottish attack were the who's who of the day from Scotland. The noblemen, the clergy, the local town leaders and the commanders all marched in shoulder to shoulder. Not mentioned in this video was the tremendous toll the English archers had on these guys dressed in traditional clothing.

Insult was added to injury for James. He and Henry had sworn a solemn oath in front of a papal legate not to attack the other if they were engaged in a war with a third party. As James violated his oath, he was excommunicated. In practical terms that meant that he could not be buried in hallowed ground, not even given a Christian funeral. The story goes that the victors took his body away with them and it ended up in a store room in Richmond Palace.

A small addition to the Political Background at 2:30 & beyond into the mid-16th century Despite how the Battle of Flodden destroyed the unity of Scotland for a time after King James IV's death, the loss of so many nobles & later James V's shaky reign, there were still hints of a Scottish unified power base that still existed that led to the rise of Mary Queen of Scots decades later. King James II's sister (who was James IV's great-grandmother), Mary Stewart of Arran & Hamilton, and later her descendants played much deeper conspicuous roles in 16th-century Scottish politics. Indirectly, this powerbase she created was in action amid the chaos after Flodden. Mary was more powerful than her brother, James II, and many nobles saw James II as weak, and they believed that Mary was a much better ruler. Unfortunately, that is what led to her divorce from the House of Boyd (because James feared her role in usurping his reign amid marriage arrangements with Denmark) and into the House of Hamilton (whose descendants played a role in the American Revolution). A novel series by Nigel Tranter called Mary Stewart: Omnibus gives some potential insight into Mary Stewart and her role in the later 15th-century Scottish politics into the 16th, etc.

Hence, making king james the last British king to die in a battle.

Despite their fierce reputation, the English sure have been kicking the Scots asses up and down history…

The scots should have fallen back a bit the moment they lost the cannon duel, both to evade the English cannon fire and to maybe entice the English into thinking they were fleeing and trying to go after them through the marchy terrain and the hillslope.

I don’t believe the centre Scottish division or the kings division got that far. They barely got through the marsh and the English had advanced off pipers hill and occupied a rise just before the marsh. If you walk the battlefield you realise what a massive effect this had. It was a perfect position for archers and the bills finished off anyone who got through.

Hi Hayley. There is a theory that part of the rancour Henry had against Catherine was down to the fact that, while he took the cream of English arms to France and achieved very little, she deployed what was left (many second-line forces) and gave the Scots a near-terminal kicking.

Margaret was married to James.
