Tudor Tracts Chapter 3. After the time that the Earl of Hertford, Lieutenant to the King's Majesty in the North parts of the realm, had dissolved the army, which lately had been within Scotland; and repaired to the King's Highness: the Lord Eure, with many other valiant wise gentlemen — abiding in the Marches of the North part — intending not by idleness to surcease in occasions convenient, but to prove whether the Scots had yet learned by their importable [unbearable] losses lately chanced to them, to tender their own weals by true and reasonable uniting and adjoining themselves to the King's Majesty's loving liege people — took consultation by the advice of Sir Ralph Eure his son, and other sage forward gentlemen; upon the 9th day of June [1544], at a place named Mylnefeld; from whence by common agreement, the said lord with a good number of men, made such haste into Scotland, that by four of the clock after the next midnight, he had marched within a half mile of the town whereunto they tended, named Jedworth.

Tudor Tracts Chapter 3. [After 9th June 1544] After their coming, a messenger was sent unto the Provost of the said town, letting him to know "that the Lord Eure was come before the town to take it into the King's allegiance, by means of peace if thereunto the Scots would truly agree, or else by force of arms to sack the same if therein resistance were found." Whereunto the Provost — even like to prove himself a Scot — answered by way of request, "that they might be respected upon their answer until the noontide or else to maintain their town with defence: "having hope that in tracting [treating] and driving off time they might work some old cowardly subtilty. But upon his declaration made, the snake crawling under the flowers easily appeared to them, which had experience: knowledge also being had, that the townsmen had bent seven or eight pieces of ordnance in the market-stead. Wherefore the Lord Eure — part of his company being into three bands divided, and abiding at three several coasts of the same town, to the end that there might be three entries at one time made into the town — appointed and devised that the gunners, which had battered certain places plain and open, should enter in one side, and the kernes on another side, and Sir Ralph Eure's, of the third side. But it fortuned that, even upon the approachment of the men to their entries, the Scots fled from their ordnance, leaving them unshot, into the woods thereabout, with all other people in the same town. In which flight was slain above the number of 160 Scots, having for that recompense thereof, the loss of six Englishmen only. The people thus fled, and the town given to Englishmen by chance of war: the gunners burned the Abbey, the Grey Friars, and divers bastel and fortified houses, whereof there were many in that town: the goods of the same town being first spoiled, which laded, at their departing, 500 horses; besides seven pieces of ordnance.

Battle of Ancrum Moor

On 27th February 1545 a Scottish army defeated an English army at the Battle of Ancrum Moor at Jedburgh. The Scots Archibald Douglas 6th Earl Angus [aged 56], John Lindsay 5th Lord Lindsay of the Byres [aged 63] and James Hamilton 2nd Earl Arran [aged 29] fought.

Brian Leyton and Ralph Eure were killed.

The History of Scotland by Robert Lindsay of Pitscottie. For the Englishmen, believing that the Scots fled, pursued them so fast, that they were all out of breath. The first battle, led by Sir Bryan Latoun and Sir Robert Bowis had, in the midst of the battle, a thousand spears; and, on their right wing, five hundred hagbutters, and on their left, five hundred bows. Sir Ralph Ivers led the great battle, containing a thousand spears, thousand hagbutters, and as many bows. The Scots, at the beginning, had only three hundred men with the governor, and two hundred with the earl of Angus. The English hasted them to preveen the flight of the Scots, thinking, by one encounter, to put an end to the war. But they, lighting on the ambush of the Scots, all wearied, and out of breath, albeit they were disicouraged, yet, contemning the fewness of their number, set upon them. The Scots had providently gotten the advantage both of the wind and sun (being both in the south-west) so that the sun-beams and smoke of the powder took all fight from the English, besides, the Scottish-mens spears were an ell longer than the English; whereby the English were born down before they could reach at the Scots; who, encountring them most violently, beat back the vanguard upon the great battle; and fo, disordering both, put them to flight, killing their two leaders, Sir Ralph Ivers and Sir Bryan Latoun, and a great number of gentlemen and common soldiers, to the number of five hundred; with the loss of two Scottishmen, slain rakelesly by their own artillery. There were taken a thousand, whereof eighty were gentlemen. The governor, at night, returning to his standard, kneeled down, and gave solemn thanks: to God for the unexpected victory; the like whereof hath scarcely been read of, that so small-a number discomfited so great a host, and so well appointed. The chief of the captives were, Mr. Howard [aged 20] the queen's uncle, Mr. Hutchinson mayor of York, the lord Bowis, Sir John Withrington, many of the Herons and Sellies, and other gentlemen of the borders, and knights of great esteem. This battle was foughten in Teviotdale, at Ancram-muir, the ninth of March, one thousand five hundred and forty-five².

                    Send letters received from the Wardens of the East and West marches and Sir Cuthbert Ratclyff; and also a letter from Parson Ogle, the bringer of which related the words spoken by the Governor [Regent] [aged 29], of which the said Parson writes. It seems that Vicar Ogle, a friend of the said Parson's, being taken by one of Anguisshe's servants, was asked by the Governor [Regent], after the battle, if he knew the Warden [Ralph Eure]. On his answer that he did, the Governor [Regent] led him by the hand to where the dead bodies lay and he identified the Warden. "God have mercy on him (quod the Governor [Regent]) for he was a fell cruel man and over cruel, which many a man and fatherless bairn might rue; and, welaway (quod he) that ever such slaughter and bloodshedding should be amongst Christian men." And the tears trickled down his cheeks. Anguisshe then came up and asked the Governor [Regent] if he were merry, who answered. "My lord, I am much the merrier for you"; and took him about the neck and kissed him 20 times, saying he repented having ever mistrusted him, who had that day done so much for Scotland. Whereunto Anguisshe answered that God knew his loyalty to his native country.
                
                    Such as were at the conflict report that the overthrow proceeded of the treason of the assured Scots of Tyvydale, whose advice, and chiefly the laird of Bonjedwourth's, Sir Ralph Evres followed. They killed and took more Englishmen than did any of the enemies; and yet, but for disorder among our men at the joining of the battle, victory might have been ours, for the Scots were not so numerous as is said. Hear so many sundry tales that they cannot yet write the certainty. Newcastle, 3 March. Signed.
