The Battle of Flodden took place on September 9, 1513, near Branxton in Northumberland, England. It was a significant conflict between the forces of England, led by King Henry VIII, and the Scottish army commanded by King James IV. The battle was part of the larger struggle for power between the two nations and was influenced by the ongoing tensions following the death of Queen Isabella of Castile. The English forces achieved a decisive victory, resulting in the death of James IV and many Scottish nobles. This battle marked a turning point in the history of Scotland, leading to a period of instability and the eventual rise of the Stewart dynasty. The aftermath of Flodden had lasting effects on both England and Scotland, shaping their future relations.
