On a September field in 1513, two nations collided and a king fell. In An Exact History Of The Battle Of Flodden: In Verse, Robert Lambe turns that day of steel and smoke into a stark, haunting historical battle poem. The field still speaks today. Moving through the clash between Tudor England and Scotland, his narrative war poetry traces the build-up to Flodden, the fury of combat and the sorrowful aftermath in clear, vigorous lines, offering a classic verse history of one of the defining moments in 16th century Scotland. Anchored in the real battle of Flodden history yet shaped with the directness of ballad, Lambe's account evokes courage, loss and the stark costs of anglo scottish war and Tudor Scotland warfare without the distance of modern commentary. It occupies a distinctive place in the tradition of British narrative war poetry, sitting between chronicle and lament. For scottish history students, military history readers and anyone curious about the human experience behind campaigns and crowns, it stands as both flodden field history book and evocative scottish war poetry collection. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Ideal for libraries of Tudor England and Scotland, shelves devoted to narrative war poetry or classic verse history, and anyone seeking a compact, resonant account of Flodden that reads with the urgency of lived memory.
