Battle of Flodden

Battle of Flodden was fought on Flodden Hill, a low spur of the Cheviots, 6 miles South of Coldstream, between James IV of Scotland and the English under the Earl of Surrey on the 9th of September 1513, which resulted in the crushing defeat of the Scots, who lost their king and the flower of their nobility, an event celebrated in Jean Elliot's "Flowers of the Forest". A spirited account of this battle is given in the sixth canto of Scott's "Marmion."
