The Battle of Flodden Field with Callum Watson
Listen now
Description
Today we bring to you our interview with Callum Watson, and we’ll be discussing the Battle of Flodden Field, wherein the Scottish King James IV was massively defeated by the English army which is ironic since the King of England Henry VIII was in France fighting the French. What’s even more ironic, is the fact that the Scottish King was married to Henry’s sister Margaret, from whom our King Charles III is descended. Let’s travel back to 1513 and and demystify this conflict, welcome back, Callum! Callum Watson is an author and historian. He works at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn, and has recently published a book on the Battle of Bannockburn with Pen & Sword. He also contributed to the Channel 5 documentary ‘Britain’s Lost Battlefields’, AND Callum also has worked as a historical advisor on the ‘Outlaw King’ film for Netflix.  Callum's Book: https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/1314-The-Year-of-Bannockburn-Hardback/p/49813/aid/1238 Find Callum: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiesDZuBN1Z0SE3Vq3Gjz_A https://drcallumwatson.blogspot.com/ https://www.instagram.com/cpwatson1375/ The Battle of Flodden Field: http://www.flodden.org.uk/ If you're planning a trip to London, join Natalie on her Walking Tours with Reign of London: https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/london-the-royal-british-kings-and-queens-walking-tour-t426011/ https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/london-unsavory-history-guided-walking-tour-t428452/ Hosted on Acast.
