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.

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.

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.

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.
@ezk92936 жыл бұрын
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.
@lomax3436 жыл бұрын
@ 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.
@ezk92936 жыл бұрын
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.
@lomax3436 жыл бұрын
@ 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.
@ezk92936 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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.

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.

What about the battle of solway moss when 18,000 Scottish soldiers lost to 3,000 English soldiers?
@mrmoist97537 жыл бұрын
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

The Scots shouldn’t have used French weapons. Scots normally fought with broad swords, Claymores, axes and poll axes. The old alliance was always a stupid idea. When ever the Scottish used French weapon throughout history it never turned out well.

@chrisgibson52673 жыл бұрын
The majority of the Scots prior to this battle used long spears and fought in large blocks of men. The weapon's cheap, effective and required little in the way of training and therefore ideal for a levy army. The issue of pikes to the army and the training in Continental pike tactics made the Scots Common army a far more effective force able to take the offensive. They lacked sufficient men armed with pole arms and similar weapon's who could issue out if and when the pike block is stopped, as it was at Flodden. The troops in the pike blocks fled as those leading them from the front were halted and disordered by the terrain, leaving them to their fate.

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.

Great video! One thing to possibly mention, however, is that you said James IV's wife was the daughter of King Henry without making clear which Henry we were on about! For the record, Margaret Tudor was the daughter of King Henry VII, and thus was the sister of Henry VIII who was the King at the time of the battle.

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

The videos on Alexander the great are impressive considering how long ago these battles took place.

Also, it would be interesting to see a top ten generals list and a set of videos on their greatest victories.
