About Flodden Battlefield

Flodden Battlefield is the site of the Battle of Flodden, which took place on 9th September 1513 between the armies of King James IV of Scotland and the Earl of Surrey, representing King Henry VIII of England. The field is located in Branxton, Northumberland.

2013 marks the 500th anniversary of this national tragedy, where 15,000 Scots and English soldiers died, as well as 100 noblemen and King James IV.

Today the battlefield is marked by a granite cross, erected in 1910.

The Flodden 1513 Ecomuseum links together 12 sites in the Borders area, which are all connected to the story of Flodden.
