THE BATTLE OF FLODDEN

9 Sep. 1513

When Flodden Field was fought there were in the Scottish Peerage 21 Earls and 29 Barons or Lords of Parliament. No less than 9 Earls and II Barons were slain, a very large proportion of those who were actually on the field.

In the following lists those slain are marked with an asterisk.

EARLS

Buchan, Caithness,

Angus, Argyll,* Arran, Atholl, Bothwell, Cassillis, Crawford,* Eglinton, Erroll,* Glencairn, Huntly, Lennox,' Marischal, Menteith, Montrose, Moray, Morton, Rothes,* Sutherland.

*

BARONS

Avondale [i.e. Stewart of Avondale], Carlyle, Cathcart, Crichton,* Drummond, Elphinstone, Erskine,* Fleming, Forbes, Glamis, Gray, Hay,* Herries,* Home, Innermeath or Lorn,* Lindsay of the Byres, Livingstone, Lovat, Lyle, Maxwell,* Ogilvie, Oliphant, Ross,* Ruthven, Saltoun, Sempill, Seton,* Sinclair, Somerville.

*

In spite of this very heavy death roll (which would be much increased by the inclusion of the sons of peers who also fell), none of the peerages became extinct as a consequence of the battle.
