EDITORS COMMENTS
1. The Kings Stone: A Memorial to the Battle of Flodden and the Fallen Monarchs The Kings Stone Battle of Flodden memorial, located in Northumberland, England, stands as a poignant reminder of one of the most significant battles in British history. Unveiled on September 27, 1910, by Sir George Douglas.Bart., this memorial marks the spot where James IV of Scotland met his demise at the hands of Henry VIII's English army. The Battle of Flodden, fought on September 9, 1513, was a decisive victory for the English forces under the command of King Henry VIII and Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk. The Scottish army, led by King James IV, was defeated, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 10,000 Scottish soldiers and the king himself. The memorial, circa 1911, is a simple yet powerful tribute to the fallen monarchs and their armies. The Kings Stone, a large boulder, is believed to be the very stone upon which King James IV's body was laid after the battle. The memorial, surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, exudes a sense of tranquility and solemnity, making it a popular destination for history enthusiasts and tourists alike. The Battle of Flodden was a pivotal moment in British history, as it marked the end of Scottish independence and the beginning of English dominance in the region. The memorial serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides and the historical significance of the event. The unveiling of the memorial was an important moment in the annals of British history, bringing together dignitaries, soldiers, and locals to pay their respects to the fallen monarchs and commemorate the Battle of Flodden. Today, the memorial stands as a testament to the past, a reminder of the rich history of Northumberland, and a symbol of the enduring bond between Scotland and England.
