Today in history:1565438+September 9, 2003 Calendar Today: Scottish James IV was killed in the battlefield in Floden in 15 13. At that time, King Henry VIII of England was launching many invasions on the Kingdom of France. French King Louis XII of France asked Henry's enemy James IV if he would mind going to the south, which caused a little confusion and even some points. The French can almost count on the Scots to be competent for this task. Scotland is eager to go to war with England for two reasons. On the one hand, it is to commemorate their alliance with France in Alder. On the other hand, Henry is just another king of England. He is the heir to the Scottish throne, and Scots are almost fed up with this nonsense.

Henry also claimed his * * * in France (yes, the king of England also claimed most of France * * *). He left his very capable Queen Catherine of Aragon to the Regent, and she quickly and effectively began to order more troops to deal with the threat of Scotland. Once the army rose, 70-year-old Lieutenant General Earl Surrey led 26,000 troops to Northumberland to fight the Scots.

At the right time, James IV's army of about 35,000 people arrived in the village very close to Brankston. The battle was a decisive victory for the British, although their number at least exceeded10,000. Most military experts believe that the decisive factor is Britain's use of the "War Act", not Scotland's dependence on spears.

In any case, there were thousands of casualties, and most of the young people in the Scottish aristocracy lived in the whipped land, which led to five years of political instability in Scotland. The death of King James IV on the battlefield aroused the repercussions of later generations.

Tell you, Plain, 12000 people were killed, and that battle did exist; Many prisoners of war pagers rang that day, the best in Scotland.

On that day, many people became fatherless children and many became widows; There are also many lesbians in Scotland who bow their heads and cry.

Her father, the son of unfortunate James IV, died a few days after her daughter was born. This one-week-old baby became the Queen of Scots in February 14, and was officially crowned on September 9 1543, thirty years after her grandfather was killed at Floden Manor.

Mary is the granddaughter of Margaret Tudor, Henry VIII's sister. This made Henry VIII her uncle and his second wife, anne boleyn, his daughter Elizabeth. This affection will be the decisive factor in her life, which led to her death on the guillotine in February 1587, although some people would say that she was a martyr.
