26,000 men, of which 5000 had been sent over from the king’s army in France, marched to the defence of the country, and approached the Scots, who lay on some high ground near the hills of Cheviot. The river Till ran be tween the armies, and prevented an engagement: Surrey, therefore, sent a herald to the Scottish camp, challenging the enemy to descend into the plain of Milfield, which lay towards the south; and there, appointing a day for the combat, to try their valour on equal ground. As he re ceived no satisfactory answer, he made a feint of marching towards Berwick; as if he intended to enter Scotland, to lay waste the borders, and cut off the provisions of the enemy. The Scottish army, in order to prevent his pur pose, put themselves in motion; and having set fire to the huts in which they had quartered, they descended from the hills. Surrey', taking advantage of the smoke which was blown towards him, and which concealed his move ments, passed the Till with his artillery and vanguard at the bridge of Twisel, and sent the rest of his army to seek a ford higher up the river. 9th Se t e,1 S a ^ en,ent was now become inevita- ept ' ble, and both sides prepared for it with tranquillity and order.” The English divided their army into two lines: Lord Howard led the main body of the first line, Sir Edmond Howard the right wing, Sir Mar maduke Constable the left. The Earl of Surrey, himself, commanded the main body of the second line, Lord Da- cres the right wing, Sir Edward Stanley the left. The front of the Scots presented three divisions to the enemy : Battle of the middle was led by the king himself: the Flouden. right by the Earl of Huntley, assisted by Lord Hume: the left by the Earls of Lenox and Argyle. A fourth division, under the Earl of Bothwell, made a body of reserve. Huntley began the battle; and after a sharp conflict, put to flight the left wing of the English, and chased them off the field : but, on returning from the pursuit, he found the whole Scottish army in great dis order. The division under Lenox and Argyle, elated with the success of the other wing, had broken their ranks, and, notwithstanding the remonstrances and entreaties of La Motte, the French ambassador, had rushed headlong upon the enemy. Not only Sir Edmond Howard, at the head of his division, received them with great valour; but Da- cres, who commanded in the second line, wheeling about during the action, fell upon their rear, and put them to the sword without resistance. The division under James, and that under Bothwell, animated by the valour of their leaders, still made head against the English, and throwing themselves into a circle, protracted the action, till night separated the combatants. The victory seemed yet un decided, and the numbers that fell on each side were nearly equal, amounting to above 5000 men: but the morning discovered where the advantage lay. The Eng lish had lost only persons of small note; but the flower of the Scottish nobility had fallen in battle, and their king himself, after the most diligent inquiry, could no where be found. In searching the field, the English met with a dead body which resembled him, and was arrayed in a similar habit; and they put it in a leaden coffin and sent it to London. During some time it was kept unburied ; because James died under sentence of excommunication, on account of his confederacy with France, and his oppo sition to the holy see:? but upon Henry’s application, who pretended that this prince had, in the instant before his death, discovered signs of repentance, absolution was given him, and his body was interred. The Scots, how ever, still asserted that it was not James’s bodv which was found on the field of battle, but that of one 'Elphin- stone, who had been arrayed in arms resembling their king’s, in order to divide the attention of the English, and share the danger with his master. It was believed that James had been seen crossing the Tweed at Kelso; and some imagined that he had been killed by the vassals of Lord Hume, whom that nobleman had instigated to com mit so enormous a crime. But the populace entertained the opinion that he was still alive, and, having secretly gone in pilgrimage to the Holy Land, would soon return o Buchanan, lib. 13. Drummond. Herbert. Polydore Virgil, lib. 57. Stowe, p. 493. Paulus Jovius. and take possession of the throne. This fond conceit was long entertained among the Scots. The King of Scotland and most of his chief nobles being slain in the field of Flouden, so this battle was called, an inviting opportunity was offered to Henry of gaining advantages over that kingdom, perhaps of reducing it to subjection. But he discovered, on this occasion, a mind truly great and generous. When the Queen of Scotland, 'Margaret, who was created regent during the infancy of her son, applied for peace, he readily granted it; and took compassion of the helpless condition of his sister and nephew. The Earl of Surrey, who had gained him so great a victory, was restored to the title of Duke of Norfolk, which had been A - D - 1514 - forfeited by his father for engaging on the side of Richard III. Lord Howard was honoured with the title of Earl of Surrey. Sir Charles Brandon, the king’s favourite, whom he had before created Viscount Lisle, was now raised to the dignity of Duke of Suffolk. Wolsey, who was both his favourite and his minister, was created Bishop of Lincoln. Lord Herbert obtained the title of Earl of Worcester. Sir Edward Stanley that of Lord Monteagle. Though peace with Scotland gave Henry security on that side, and enabled him to prosecute, in tranquillity, his enterprise against France, some other incidents had happened, which more than counterbalanced this fortunate event, and served to open Ins eyes with regard to the rashness of an undertaking into which his youth and high fortune had betrayed him. Lewis, fully sensible of the dangerous situation to which his kingdom had been reduced during the former cam paign, was resolved, by every expedient, to prevent the return of like perils, and to break the confederacy of his enemies. The Pope was nowise disposed to push the French to extremity; and, provided they did not return to take possession of Milan, nis interest rather led him to preserve the balance among the contending parties. He accepted, therefore, of Lewis’s offer to renounce the council of Lyons; and he took off the excommunication which his predecessor and himself had fulminated against that king and his kingdom. Ferdinand was now fast declining in years; and as he entertained no further am bition than that of keeping possession of Navarre, which he had subdued by his arms and policy, he readily heark ened to the proposals of Lewis for prolonging the truce another year; and he even showed an inclination of form ing a more intimate connexion with that monarch. Lewis had dropt hints of his intention to marry his second daughter, Renee, either to Charles, Prince of Spain, or his brother Ferdinand, both of them grandsons of the Spanish monarch; and he declared his resolution of bestowing on her, as her portion, his claim to the duchy of Milan. Ferdinand not only embraced these proposals with joy; but also engaged the Emperor, Maximilian, in the same views, and procured his accession to a treaty, which opened so inviting a prospect of aggrandizing their common grandchildren. When Henry was informed of Ferdinand’s renewal of the truce with Lewis, he fell into a violent rage, and loudly complained that his father-in-law had first, by high pro mises and professions, engaged him in enmity with France, and afterwards, without giving him the least w'arning, had now again sacrificed his interests to his own selfish pur poses, and had left him exposed alone to all the danger and expense of the war. In proportion to his easy cre dulity, and his unsuspecting reliance on Ferdinand, was the vehemence with which he exclaimed against the treat ment which he met with; and he threatened revenge for this egregious treachery and breach of faith.” But he lost all patience when informed of the other negociation, by which Maximilian was also seduced from his alliance, and in which proposals had been agreed to, for the marriage of the Prince of Spain with the daughter of France. Charles, during the lifetime of the late king, had been affianced to Mary, Henry's younger sister; and, as the prince now approached the age of puberty, the king had expected the immediate completion of the marriage, and p Buchanan, lib. 13.
