| When the English Army emerged from the banks of the Till, and proceeded | ||||||
| between King James and Scotland, their movements could not | ||||||

| either by the plain of Millfield or by Ford Bridge, the King was | ||||||
| ready to give them battle, but he had not anticipated any attack | ||||||
| from the North. Could it be that the Earl of Surrey intended | ||||||
| to assault him in his entrenchments, or did he mean to take | ||||||
| possession of the neighbouring |
||||||
| mile to the west called "Branxton Hill"? The latter was | ||||||
| evidently that leader’s design, for the banners of his Army | ||||||
| moved on in that direction, and if he obtained such a | ||||||
| position, he would not only annoy those in the Camp | ||||||
