Nevilles Cross

On 17th October 1346, the Battle of Neville's Cross took place

The Douglases played a significant role in the Battle of Neville's Cross. William Douglas, Lord of Liddesdale, led one of the Scottish factions and was instrumental in the initial attack on the English forces. He managed to warn King David II about the approaching English army, allowing the Scots to prepare for battle. However, despite their efforts, the Scots were ultimately defeated, and William Douglas was captured along with King David II.The Douglases played a significant role in the Battle of Neville's Cross.
