The Battle of Flodden

Terry Molloy narrates this documentary, part of the History of Warfare series, about the most catastrophic defeat in Scottish history. When King James IV invaded England with the largest army Scotland had ever put into the field, victory seemed certain for the confident Scots. Within days over 10,000 Scottish soldiers were dead, and James himself lay alongside them.

With battle reconstructions, dramatised 'eyewitness' accounts and expert analysis, this documentary explains how Scotland was so comprehensively defeated.
