- One of the biggest battles between Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Scotland. James IV honors the Auld Alliance with France and invades Northumberland. Young English King Henry VIII is campaigning in northern France. He designated Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey to form an army to counter the anticipated Scottish invasion. In August of 1513 nearly 40,000 Scots crossed the border, many of them will never see Scotland again.

Sun Tzu: "All war is deception"
King James: "I give one month notice"
Johny Ricco James is a fool, his general did not even obey his order.
Lmao!
Haha
Was about to comment this. James had admirable behaviour but war is not for an honourable commander. The victors of war have to be deceptive and they write their honour in the history books.
Should have taken note of what happened to the Starks
Abandoning the high ground never turns out well.
I have the high ground
Nova Fuck Me you underestimate my power
It's over Anakin
It's over Anakin!
Edit: This story has been totally made up by me. Lel. Everybody loves high ground, apparently
A battle in the "Anatolian beyliks" period (14th century) was an interesting example: Instead of fighting in the plain -which was common for them, both armies rushed to the only hill around, wanting to take the high ground. As a result, fight broke off at the hillside, both were trying to climb up in the meantime. One side took higher ground, but after the sunset they lost their way, and the others managed to seize their camp, which was still in the plain.
James fought valiantly, James fought nobly, James fought honorably. And James died.
Jorah Mormont xd
hey Soviet
James deserve better !
fuckin spoiler lol XD
but he didn't fight intelligently.. didn't respect the mechanics of the battle
SovietWomble DID YOU KNOW THAT SCOTLAND WASS ANNEXED IN 1707
I like how you showed the weapons they used.
I live in Northumberland and visited the battlefield in 2013 for the 500 year anniversary. The land even today gives you an idea for the problems the Scots faced. That hill is surprisingly steep even today.
Who else "picks a side" at the start of every video?
Yo
Me too,... and a general... lol
lol, yup
*waves hand*
I pick the side of truth..so I dont make up my mind until i have more info..meh!

I'll be the weirdo who praises Surrey as a top notch soldier, he was I dare say one of the few to have fought from Edward to Richard to Henry VII to Henry VIII and his reputation remained intact.
I agree 👍
English have always had top notch commanders, with less men but at times alot more brains
@@MrFirefox As far as I can recall it would only be in France where they had inferior numbers
@@whisper-thattruth-shss6026 and also in france where they had smarter commanders
@@MrFirefox _Medieval_ English. Early Modern English commanders are a crapshoot (Elphinstone, Gage, Sackville, etc etc etc).
Only one person from my town came back from this battle, then died from his wounds - his name was Fletcher and his statue still stands.
yes that's true the scots where soundly beaten losing nearly ten thousand killed a real slaughter indeed
Meanwhile in Surrey, no one even acknowledges the battle
@@MidgeCat Sums up Anglo-Scot relations.
Tomorrow you will suffer your worst defeat since Flodden
Fletcher's are strong people
To King James' credit, he was very reluctant to start any form of warfare and break any oaths, which was a rare trait in the medieval timeline.
*Renaissance timeline
Yet it cost him his life
@@Old_Guard2
The renaissance doesn't reach that far north for a few more decades.
cuz he was incompetent, clearly
Dartanius100 yer right , so he invaded England
man, james seems like he was a pretty cool dude. rip
seems that he was Good leader
Apart from the bit where he dishonoured the eternal peace alliance because his wife is French, attacking undefended English territory only to lead tens of thousands of his men to die.
He should've chose peace over war.
Ill have to agree with the proddy on this one,he could of kept the auld alliance because of the de facto alliance with king henry,and once he did invade,he simply didnt do it hard enough,he went too slow and was far too soft.
VintageLJ Ummm. England was invading his ally. The French.
No because he had a valid casus belli which negates his alliance and before you say yes not all casus bellis were good enough to attack allies but at that time religeos ones deffinettely were,its all about the nobles opion really in the end
I freaking love this channel. Make more make more.
Hey its you!
hey Suibhne
I love learning about battles i've never even heard of before :)
I know, really.
I love tasting food i've never even heard of before :)
The Longbow and the Billhook served the English army well from the 14th to 16th century. After heavy cavalry got checked by English and Flemish infantry and archers time and again in the 14th century, I think its safe to say that the Longbowman enjoyed dominance over the western European theatre until gunpowder weapons became more readily available and pikes got longer. In terms of western European warfare I'd say that heavy cavalry enjoyed dominance from the 11th to the 13th century, then the longbowman from the 14th to the early 16th century and then the Swiss mercenary and German Landsknecht enjoyed dominance until the Spanish Tercio took over, etc.
The earliest war memorial in the UK, honours the local archers from around Middleton, near Manchester, at St. Leonards church. Worth a visit.
Finally , somebody who's read a book
There's an archway in the church that's over 12hundrid yrs old
Meanwhile, Ireland just sitting there with popcorn.
ITS YOUR BOY K-K-K-KILLER IRLAND!
Our first story today comes from Scotish King Sensation James who, get this, decided to fight on foot!
I'm here tonight with my co-host, Ibney00! Welcome to the show, we're glad to have you here. So it looks like James has decided to take up the Southern side of the swamp in the low ground, while Surrey is sitting back on the high ground. Not a strong position for James at all. What do you think Ibney00?
I think that the map was actually inaccurate. At the time, the English owned most of the modern day Dublin and Waterford regions under more or less direct rule and through loosely allied Hiberno-Norman local strongmen, had tenuous control over most of the rest of Ireland other than Ulster and Connacht.
But it is unlikely any Irish or Anglo-Irish fought at Flodden. The English army was drafted from the Northern and Midland counties with mostly traditional feudal levies armed with bill and longbow.
That's right Pat, England had only conquered Dublin, Waterford and Wexford at that point.
@@patcoghlan3852 well, the map said "the lordship of Ireland".
So impressed with these guys! The more of this kind of content the better! I love the voice, the battles etc.
My only request is that you guys do more Byzantine/Roman ones e.g. Manzikert, 1453 Siege of Constantinople, 717 siege of Constantinople etc. They were their own world almost, and it'd be great to see them given the respect they deserve!
Also I love watching these with no prior knowledge, so try to avoid spoilers during the intro/pre-battle stage
Consider me subscribed regardless!
I totally agree with your suggestion man.
Cheers! Hopefully he can see this and respond.
Agree with u. Plus i would like to see some Ottoman battles such as Mohacs etc.
Bloody Ottomans (grumble grumble grumble) lol
1453 -Never forget.
Do the battle for Endor. It was the first battle in history where an army of highly trained genetically engineered super soldiers were defeated by a bunch of teddy bears.
the super soldiers should never have agreed to that pre battle picnic in the woods
2:40 I wish this happened in EU4 aswell...
Ok small moustache man
Ahhahah made my day.
they only need the part where "french reinforcements arrived" to come true, and that'd be enough for me
to be fair when 8 british ships can destroy 30 french ships, wcyd
France should have sent some more troops. English troops in EuIV are pathetically weak interns of moral, discipline, and military tactics.
I love how clearly you lay out the battle. The animations are immensely helpful to understanding who did what and where everyone was in relation to each other. Great work!
I always get excited when y'all post a video. It's consistently wonderful
Coming from Northumberland I have seen the Flodden/Branxton hill battlefield a number of times. It is easy to see the advantage James had at the top of the hill and his decision to leave it is totally incomprehensible! I have also stayed at Ford castle a number of times during its time as an educational establishment. A beautiful castle and steeped in history
A video on the battle of Neville's Cross would be a great, especially if you intend on covering some of the battles in the 100 years war in the future. Absolutely love the videos by the way, keep up the good work.
Thank you for doing these videos!!
BazBattles you're the tops for this kinda material on TH-cam, really clear and graphic, you explain the tactics properly so I can understand. I like the way you tell it straight, no biased comment. Excellent.

I just keep getting amazed by these videos, you're absolutely inspiring. You have to know that you're doing a very amazing job with these videos.
At Flodden, the largest Scottish army ever assembled, equipped with some of the finest artillery and weaponry in Europe, was annihilated by a smaller English army whose soldiers were armed with the Longbow and what was essentially a converted farming tool - the Billhook. Forget tactics and strategy for a moment, the simple fact is that the English fought for their lands, farms, and families. If they had lost, the Scottish army would have devastated the whole of Northern England. This was a terrible revenge for Bannockburn.
"Scottes out of Berwick and out of Aberdeen At the Burn of Bannock ye were far too keen. King Edward has avenged it now, and fully too I ween."
Bannockburn was avenged 20 years afterward at Hallidon Hill (1333) and then the Coup de grâce was delivered at Neville's Cross (1346) with the capture of King David II (the Bruce's son). Like you said, at Flodden it was more Englishman knowing full well they had to win to save their homes and towns from being pillaged and burnt - as was customary in those days.
actually the only reason the English won was because the Scots had problems with positioning in the terrain + for some units lack of discipline was a problem, which then resulted in the whole situation being buggered. Had King James taken both of those into account he could have easily won.
Joe Blow why attack a country without knowing how to use the equipment?
2nd if Scotland won maybe just maybe Scotland would have ruled over England.
but they didn't
"The Scottish lost because they didn't know how to use their equipment and the British did."
This has to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen written on TH-cam. *There no evidence whatsoever that the Scots did not know how to use their own cannons you idiot*. Simply put - their King was out-thought and his men were outfought.
So basically, chivalry ruined scotland...
no it didnt its always good to be chivalrous but you need to know how to use it. Informing the enemy of your attack means you eradicate the possibility of using surprise or confusion as weapons and 100% depending on your skills in the art of warfare. If James won the the battle it was clear his campaign would have been successful because the English had no plan B. They actually risked more than the Scots because the Scots prepared for months for the invasion, the English did not
This is spot on - in fact if the battle had been indecisive or things had gone even slightly differently, the lack of proper supply lines for the English basically guaranteed an eventual Scottish victory. All they had to do was keep the hill...
If james would of had better discipline of his troops specifically his left flank charging forward when they didn't have to and focused his artillery on the English longbowman he probably could of won, he left a good position to fight the english
not really, it's just that his army moved way too slow, they should have pressed on more to take more ground, force the english to either fall back or face them sooner or push on to more enlish strategic towns, points, ...
And having your soldiers unchivalrously running away when they scored enough loot.
Decided to watch an older video today. I loved it! Great format and great information
Excellent video! You're getting better and better!
I wish more people from Surrey know about this. One of our biggest historical contributions
So Henry took an army of southerners to fight on the continent. First time anyone mentioned that.
Catherine deserved more thanks than she got !
Great stuff keep this series going
Great video. You do a great job making the battle understandable. Thank you.
6:16 Lord Home (pronounced Hume) and his men were certainly not Highlanders. There's a tendency for people to assume that the words Highlander and Scotsman are interchangeable, but they're not. Home was Warden of the East and Middle Marches. As such he was a Lowlander and a Borderer, as were most of his men. Indeed the vast majority of all Scottish armies in the mediaeval and Tudor periods were Lowlanders.
Wait is there more than one warden? My ancestor Andrew Kerr was appointed warden of the middle marches in 1502 and was still warden after the battle.
@ ezk929 There seems to have been some ambiguity in the appointment (or in the records that have come down to us). Many members of the Ker family (usually spelled with one R in the sixteenth century) served as Warden of the Middle March. Walter Ker was appointed in 1502; Ralph and Andrew Ker jointly in 1510; Sir Andrew Ker in 1515 (not sure if this is the same Andrew Ker as previously); right down to Sir Thomas Ker in 1584. Alexander, 3rd Lord Home was appointed in 1509 (having been named Warden of the East March in 1506). There is no tidy line of succession, with several overlapping appointments, and periods when the office was vacant. One assumes, therefore, that a warden (or wardens) was appointed when there was need.
interesting it was what i assumed. and going through my family history i did know that multiple people in my ancestry were given the title. I did note that later when looking at Andrew Kerr or as he was for some reason also known as Dand Kerr, was married to a Hume and served in the battle along side the Humes. The battle was important for my clan as it boosted our popularity and many families put their protection under my clan. My family played important roles but never get highlighted and get overshadowed by the highlanders. also Kerr, Ker, Carr, Car, are the surnames of the Kerr clan. and yes Andrew "Dand" Kerr was given the title Sir. the Other sir andrew was in the 17th century.
@ ezk929 The fact that Andrew Ker married a Home is interesting news - though it would make sense for two Border families to ally, especially in troubled times. As for Dand - my GUESS is that the Andrew Ker appointed Warden in 1510 and the Sir Andrew Ker appointed in 1515 are father and son. In such cases it is common for the younger namesake to be known by a nickname within the family. Possibly Andrew junior liked being called Dand, and the nickname escaped into general use.
Sir Andrew Kerr or Dand Kerr was born 1471 and died in 1545. Dand Kerr was one of the most important Chieftains as he gained a lot of Territory and established the left-handed dominance into the clan to the point where we are genetically left-handed. Left-handed mercs were paid a pretty price. Also he established the Royal trust as the royals frequently recruited Kerrs from that point on. Of course its not so seen with what King James VI/I did to Sir Thomas but still the royals put trust into the Kerrs. "cough of course the royals had to pay a good price cough" The Next Sir Andrew Kerr was born in 1570 and died 1631. Sir Andrew Kerr(1570-1631) is a bit special as he was knighted by Queen Mary of Scots herself and she was his Godmother. Sir Andrew also had a son named Andrew but he died before Sir Andrew and was his only son. Sir Andrew left only 6 daughters.

*"Battle of Mohács 1526"* by Callistrid here on TH-cam. A team of Hungarian historians meticulously recreated the entire battle in the Total War engine to be as accurate as possible; their channel has other similarly awesome videos about other famous Hungarian battles also. I can't recommend them enough. All the best!

please do the battle of the golden spurs. It is not a well known battle but it was the first time that an army of heavy cavalry got beaten by an army of common foot soldiers.
in Flanders right?
Freek Mulder Battle of the golden spurs in courtrai/kortrijk
Excuse me I looked it up. You were right it was in Kortrijk but it were mostly Flemish foot soldiers fighting
I don't know if you guys know this but they just did a video on it. It's awesome
Yeah but the Scott's watched and waited till just enough English army crossed the bridge and to contain them. The Flemish and Dutch had to fight the best of European knights. And defeated them
Dude, your stuff is amazing.
Love the videos man!
Hence the famous Scottish war cry of "Roon away! Roon away!"
Humiliating 😢😢😢🏴
Many didn't. They stood and asked for no quarter. Fought on manfully. In English chronicles
Pretty sure William I coined that term for the English with the last line in the Bayeux tapestry. "And the English fled."
I just love these videos like the art, the voice och the interesting content. Just what more about vikings cus they are awesome.
this is great work
Loving your vids! Keep them coming
I'll defend James warning the English, at least to a degree. Looking back it was obviously wrong, but at the time we have to remember he had just come out of an alliance with England, and did not want further conflict. A sneak attack, or a deep invasion into England, would have led to long-lasting animosity, and probably future conflicts. To James, that was a situation where Scotland lost anyway. The only victory, in his eyes, was to get the war over with as soon as possible, with out doing so much damage as to cause long lasting conflict.
Hey Baz, could you please do the Battle of Culloden? Would be amazing
Amazed!
keep`em coming guys
Your Videos keep getting better!
Wonder if Mel Gibson will make a movie of this battle too? He will probably apply 'alternative' facts in his story telling and have the Scots winning??
And the English as the aggressors
Just curious as to where you get your information for these battles from? Do you go on multiple sites or just wikipedia it, would love to know as I find military warfare very interesting and if possible would appreciate sources in the description so I can read them for more info as all the details of a battle can't be condensed into one 10min youtube video.
he has a time machine
Remarkable, to where could I aquire this contraption of his?
Late reply but I gratefully refuse.
Library, books, scroll, university ,
Great video, good job and keep them coming!
Such a great channel!!! Im subscribing immediately!!
Great video. Only one problem though. You spoiled the battle result at the beginning of the video and in the description, which takes away some of the suspense and drama.
It looks like this battle isn't as famous as I thought it is. That's the main reason behind the "spoiler". I try to keep the script both captivating and informative, but that's sometimes challenging :)
Do the battle of Muret
It's precisely because this battle isn't famous that you don't want to spoil the result.
Jesus. Next you're going to go to WW2 videos and bitch about people talking about how that war ended. It's history. Grow up.
+infernocuck
Spoiling the result of a battle that many may not be familiar with and spoiling the result of a war that almost everyone knows about are completely different things, you fucking mong.
Fucking Day of the Rake when
When you start a raid into England and you roll a one on a luck check...
Most interesting, thank you!
I liked how you included the weapons in this episode.
I dont know why, but the voice is just so right for this type of vidoes haha
Who came here after watching The Spanish Princess? 👋
I did 😁
I don't know why, but whenever I see that you've uploaded a video I like straight away. And I get super excited!
@BazBattles you guys do great videos: You certainly communicate your knowledge and understanding; I also like the little details like the hawks flying over the battlefield with their shadows in sync on the ground below. The videos on Alexander the great are impressive considering how long ago these battles took place. I would be very interested to see some videos on Oliver Cromwell and his revolution against King Charles I. Also, it would be interesting to see a top ten generals list and a set of videos on their greatest victories.
Long Live the Queen Catherine!
England!!!
Great video with great details.
WTF Baz.... The animations, they keep on getting more and more awesome!!!
Please consider battle of bannockburn
The English really need a nerf. Crazy how many decisive victories they have.
try telling that to the jocks
@murray1234567891011 well for every victory there is also a defeat, or else England would be ruling the land of France.
@data spell do your history lessons again pal wrong dates
@data spell What are you on about you fucking simpleton. The Anglo-Saxons took all the lands back from the Danes under Athelstan. As for the Norwegians Vikings, their time ended at Stamford Bridge, a week before Hastings.
@@tuor8087
Aethelstan didn't do too badly against the Scots, either. Remember Brunanburgh.
Outstanding! A clear explanation of Flodden Field is what I came for, and what I got. All the videos I tried beforehand seemed to be more about period music and costumed actors.
on some real shit this is one of my favorite youtube channels idk why..
Often it is the English portrayed as the aggressor. Yet time and again Scottish forces invaded the north of England. This wanton act of aggression was answered. They got what they deserved and no more. They have no grounds for complaint.
My 16th great Grandad ( John DE Beanland born 1487 ), and uncle ( John DE Beanland born 1489 ) were at Flodden. They were born in East Morton Yorkshire, near Bradford were i was born.
I’m related to the flagbearer
How do you know ?
another top video,keep them coming!!
these battles presented are a very good surse of information! bravo! keep the coming!
The Auld Alliance served Scotland very poorly. Whenever the French felt under pressure from England (which had a fraction of the population of France) they called on their Scots allies and rarely did it go well for them. In the hundred years war a significant Scottish host came to the support of the French who deserted them at the battles of Cravant and Vernuil leaving the Scots to valiantly fight on to the last man.
Your Pov is a very biased one, France and Scotland were logically allied against a common enemy. Without speaking of your "The French abandoned the Scott in their battles". I hope Scotland becomes soon an independent nation, they deserved it.
@@thewayweallgo2614 Your so called Auld Alliance did nothing, you French and Scottish sc*m every try invading England again and you will get the same.
Do Ravenna 1512.
You’re single handedly saving my History A-Level
It's so good to see this channel covers even more "recent" battles!
I wonder. will it also make videos on Spanish conquistador battles in Americas and the US colonies war for independense?
Can you do one on the battle of Bannockburn?
Its over SCOTLAND I have the high ground......
Excellent. Easy to follow the story and the graphics. Also, the length of the videos is just right.
Interesting side note: The Earl of Surrey actually fought _against_ the Tudors at the Battle of Bosworth. The Howards were staunch allies of Richard III and played an instrumental part in he becoming King (vs the Woodvilles who controlled Edward IV's son.) At Bosworth, Surrey's father (The 1st Duke of Norfolk) was KIA and he himself was wounded, captured and sent to the Tower for three years. That he went from Tower prisoner to essentially designated protector of the realm for a King who's father he had fought against, speaks volumes to his political skill as well as his military one.
Just like the French at Agincourt this is one battle that the Scots like to sweep under the carpet. Losing a battle is one thing, but losing your King?
However The Scot's and French won the war, just like they won the Hundred Year's War despite Agincourt
What about the battle of solway moss when 18,000 Scottish soldiers lost to 3,000 English soldiers?
not really, they were small raiding band and were attacked at night whilst asleep before they could prepare themselves; and they didn't give themselves up unlike the Scots at Solway Moss, they managed to escape
I also looked into Solway Moss and their doesn't seem to be any evidence that the Scots lost because they were drowning; what happened was, they crossed the river and hastily attacked in an unorganised fashion and the English were able to rout them with a well timed cavalry charge, as they retreated roughly 700 of the 18,000 that initially attacked drowned. I find that to be more humiliating than a night raid on a small band of raiders, even if the attackers were youths
Tell me more of this battle, think i'll go look it up, sounds like jock got a right old kicking.
Wtf the Scottish only killed 7 people i’m dying
@Harry L 88 is a Cowardly Cyber Rat Indeed; Scottish military history against the English is largely a depressing melody of catastrophic defeat.
What about the battle of Bannockburn when the Scots well and truly fucked a vastly superior and greatly numbered English army?
Great report!
this channels deserves more subscribers
Battle Of Grunwald?
Confederate Daemon still no grunwald :(
@@zarakdurrani7584 kings and generals did a video about that battle
We really should have stopped honouring the 'Auld Alliance'. It usually ended very poorly for us.
Just not good enough Scotland always in our shadow
In all honesty, I don't think England would have bothered Scotland at all very much if it wasn't for the French always using them and trying to manipulate them into war with England on their side. Much of the invasions by England into Scotland had alot to do with wars that were going on in France at the time.
Each new video is better than the last one. Congrats
Keep up the good work!
Why the hell did the right flank just watch King James striving to gain the upper hand
Justinian I Because they'd already done their bit of the fighting and won in their eyes....
let's face it in so many ways Flodden could have been a Scottish victory but it was thrown away. Better reconaissance, holding positions or monopolising by focussing on the broken right flank rather than a frontal assault. Flodden shows what a waste conflict between Scotland and England had become. But then a Scottish monarch sat on both thrones in the end..mm
The left flank was asked to get involved but Home said they had defeated the English opposite them and had done their bit. Home was suspected of treachery and executed a few years later.
@@allanthomson4488 I know right 1,500 losses against 14,000 losses, it was close.
Now I know where Nicola Sturgeon gets it from !
awesome vids ty
Really can't get enough of these videos. It would be amazing if you could do the
Battle of Vlaardingen or
Battle of the golden spurs.
I think the battle of Vlaardingen has some really interesting history leading up to the battle and the aftermath.
So do most of England
This is so cool after playing as the English in medieval total war 2 and capturing Scotland right at the start every game 😂😂
Flodden was an unholy slaughter for the Scots. Whole families of nobleman were wiped out and as an English born Brit. I genuinely feel sorry for the Scots on this occasion. I know this video concentrates on the battle and brief background but Catherine's role was sterling. She proved a very able organizer in the absence of the king for which she deserves more credit but, this period in Henry's reign is almost always overlooked because of his later marital intrigues
exactly and they say they slaughtered England lol.
The English were fighting for their land the Scots shouldn’t have invaded. Ever since William the conqueror devastated the north of England we have been keen to defend it.
Whomsoever I agree Catherine like her mother Isabella was great at the logistical matters of running an army.
Anglus Catherine was a very interesting woman and Queen...I couldn't believe Henry was so cruel to her.
@@ThePharaoho he wants a son and she wasn't able to provide one. I think she was supposed to be Henry's brother's bride, but he died so she was married to Henry instead to keep the marriage alliance.
But I agree that she was too overlooked, especially in the Protestant England that happened after the divorce. Her daughter's reputation didn't help her cause either.
I love these videos so much
I love how you tagged their positions in bayyle, please do so forever.
Should of got Leigh Griffiths to lead the attack.
HA! Brilliant!
