Battle of solway moss and the 'rough wooing' 1542





In November 1542, a Scottish army entered the border marshes of Scotland and England. They were met by an English force led by Sir Thomas Wharton, and routed. James V was ill at Falkland Palace, and the news of the defeat, coupled with the birth of a daughter, Mary, rather than the son the king longed for, is traditionally said to have led him to turn his face to the wall and die.Peace between the two countries was agreed in the 1543 Treaty of Greenwich. This allowed for the one-year-old Mary to be married to Edward, Prince of Wales. Before the year was out, the Scottish parliament, under Beaton\'s direction, changed policy and repudiated the Treaty of Greenwich.

    Henry and, after his death, Somerset, then undertook a series of military invasions into southern Scotland - an operation that subsequently came to be known as the \'Rough Wooing\'.
