The first comprehensive study of this war helps us understand how
each country to defend the frontier, and the political issues which
drove the Anglo-Scottish wars of the 1520s. The Anglo-Scottish War
of 1522-1524 saw the mobilisation of tens of thousands of men and
vast amounts of resources in both England and Scotland. Beyond its
British context, the war had a European significance: it formed an
element in the wider Valois-Habsburg struggles over Italy, with the
complex systems of alliances spreading the repercussions of this
struggle far across the continent and to the borders of England and
Scotland. Recent years have seen the emergence of a renewed debate
around the status of the Anglo-Scottish frontier and the wider
political and social conditions which predominated in the
borderlands of each kingdom. Although there has been a move to
present the Anglo-Scottish border as a porous frontier where the
populations on either side were closely connected, these
neighbourly links imploded rapidly in wartime when frontier
populations were co-opted into a national struggle. It is
significant that borderers were responsible for inflicting the
heaviest violence on each other during the war. Drawing on an
unprecedented access to English and Sottish sources of the
conflict, this book offers an important new contribution to both
Scottish and English history as well as the wider military history
of late medieval and early modern Europe. Aspects of military
mobilisation, logistics, the defence of frontiers, the use of
violence against civilians and wartime espionage feature
prominently.
