Just across the modern border in Northumberland, Flodden remains one of Scotland's most devastating defeats. In 1513, King James IV of Scotland invaded England in support of his French allies but suffered a catastrophic defeat against the English army. Thousands of Scots died, including much of Scotland's nobility and the king himself. Today, the peaceful countryside hides the scale of the tragedy, with walking routes and monuments helping visitors discover the story behind one of Britain's most significant medieval battles.
