War with Scotland broke out again in 1513 when the Scottish King, JamesIV, declared war on England. James intended to honour the Auld Alliance with France by diverting HenryVIII's English troops from their campaign against the French, against whom England was a member of the Catholic League in the War of the League of Cambrai, supporting the Pope. HenryVIII had also opened old wounds by claiming to be the overlord of Scotland, further angering the Scots. The first—and as it turned out, the only—engagement of the Scottish campaign was fought at Flodden on 9September. Clifford brought 207 archers and 116 billmen from Yorkshire under his banner of the Red Wyvern and commanded the vanguard. King James was killed in battle, and Clifford captured three Scottish cannons which he took to "decorate" Skipton Castle; the contemporary "Ballad of Flodden Field" refers to "Lord Clifford with his clapping guns".
