Supported by original sources and thoroughly illustrated, a detailed
account of the Douglases' fight against the Percys. In his Chronicles,
Froissart describes Otterburn as 'the best fought and the most severe'
battle of his time. Fought at Redesdale in Northumberland in August
1388, the battle originated from the ongoing war between the Scots and
the English following Robert Bruce's victory over the English at
Bannockburn in 1314. Using all the contemporary sources, this book
details the events that led up to the clash on the borders, examines
the opposing armies, their weaponry and their commanders – including
the Douglases on the Scots side and the Percys on the English – and
gives a full account of the battle and its aftermath.
