A survey of warfare between England under Henry VIII and Scotland
from the death of James IV, identifying its objectives and
accounting for its inconclusive nature. Military activity was
central to Anglo-Scots relations in the first half of the sixteenth
century, playing an important role in the formation of the
multi-national Tudor state and the process of political union. This
book examinesboth the organisational nature of the two nations'
military establishments and provides a detailed operational study
of military activity. It challenges notions that the British Isles
were peripheral to the trends of mainstream continental warfare
through a detailed study of the manner in which both Scottish and
English armies demonstrated a commitment to tactical and
technological development. The failure of both nations to come up
with effective strategies or conclusive successes is addressed, and
contributory causes identified. The major engagements at Flodden
(1513), Solway Moss (1542) and Pinkie (1547) are examined;
attention is also paid to the everyday routines of
militaryactivity: garrison duty, chevauchee and siege work. Dr
GERVASE PHILLIPS teaches in the Department of History and Economic
History at the Manchester Metropolitan University.
