Summary

This infamous battle was the scene where Scotland's "rose nobill"James IVlost 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.
