The Battle of Flodden Field with Callum Watson

If It Ain't Baroque...

Today we bring to you our interview with Callum Watson, and we’ll be discussing the Battle of Flodden Field, wherein the Scottish King James IV was massively defeated by the English army which is ironic since the King of England Henry VIII was in France fighting the French. What’s even more ironic, is the fact that the Scottish King was married to Henry’s sister Margaret, from whom our King Charles III is descended.

Let’s travel back to 1513 and and demystify this conflict, welcome back, Callum!
