Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"With the loss of some 5,000 lives, the Battle of Flodden was one of the heaviest defeats the Scots ever suffered. It was said that the 'Flower of Scotland' died that day in September 1513, including James IV himself and almost the entire Scots nobility. . . . Henry was too preoccupied to follow up the victory, but he could rest assured that, with James V only eighteen months old and a shortage of nobles to form an opposition, there would be no further Scottish threat to England for a generation."
