  James IV had no need to go to war at all. Even his own advisers told him &quot;England has done nothing to us, so why should we play France&apos;s game?&quot; It&apos;s a myth that the Scots had to pick one side or the other: neutrality was always an option.

  These documentaries are very nice to watch. I hate the overly dramatic style of newer documentaries, so this stuff is a welcome change for me

  Some time ago while working on my Scottish personal genealogy I curiously noted that a significant &nbsp;number of my lineage, all died in the same year. &nbsp;Then I learned about Flodden. &nbsp;I understood then. May they all continue to rest in peace.

  Hi, thank you for this video. My ancestor James Henderson, died on the 9th September 1513 at &nbsp;Flodden. &nbsp;He was 62 years old which is amazing and quite brave to even go and fight.<br>His son George Henderson, born in 1495, was made of the same cloth because he died, at age 52, &nbsp;together with two of his sons, &nbsp;George (jr) and Henry William Henderson, on the 10th September 1547 at the battle of Pinkie Cleugh. Another great battle lost. I wonder if you have a video about that battle.<br><br>Sadly, in another branch of my family I have William Swynhoo (Swinhoe) living in Cornhill &nbsp;on Tweed, Northumberland, and whose letter to the Earl of Shrewsbury written in September 1557, is recorded in the Talbot Papers vol.D page 162<br>William is telling the Earl about the movement across the border of shot and barrels of wine &quot;for the queen&apos;s own provision&quot;. He must mean the Queen dowager because Mary was in France at that time.<br> He has also learned that &quot;they intend to besiege Wark&quot; and that &quot;The whole power doth muster upon Fawlawe (Fallowlese) more on Saturday next, and, as I am informed, setteth forwards on Sunday, and will be a greater power than ever I saw of Scotland together at one time.&quot;<br>William also talks about his plan to send a spy into the Scottish camps to &quot;learn their intent&quot;.<br>Do you know what battle they were preparing for?
