EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Ancrum Moor, fought on February 27, 1545, near Jedburgh, Scotland, was a significant engagement during the War of the Rough Wooing, a series of conflicts between England and Scotland. This apocryphal image captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with soldiers from both sides clashing in hand-to-hand combat using swords, daggers, and other weapons. At the heart of the scene, a woman, identified as the Fair Maiden Lilliard, stands defiantly among the men. According to legend, Lilliard fought in the battle after her lover was killed, inspiring her countrymen to continue their resistance against the English invaders. This evocative print, created in the 16th century, offers a glimpse into the raw emotion and determination that characterized the Anglo-Scottish Wars. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and sacrifice displayed by the people of Scotland during this tumultuous period in British history.
