Opis
Legends of the North presents... The story of Marmion – A Tale of Flodden Field 'Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practise to deceive' is the famous phrase spoken by the somewhat scheming character of Marmion in Scott's historical romance. For ease of understanding this book has a plot synopsis at the beginning of each chapter so is perfect for readers less familiar with the writings of Sir Walter Scott. Follow the Marmion Flodden Trail in North Northumberland and visit castles, bridges, wells, churches, camps ending at the site of The Battle of Flodden Field. Significant sections of Scott's Marmion are set in Northumberland during the reign of King Henry VIII when King James IV of Scotland invaded Northern England. The battle that ensued came to be known as The Battle of Flodden Field and was one of the biggest and bloodiest battles ever fought between the Scots and the English. The Scottish casualty numbers were high and King James died in battle. In this book you will find historical information, maps and walking routes to help you discover locations relevant to the battle and the novel. Also in these pages are poetry, art and songs inspired by the story of Marmion and the Battle of Flodden Field. Immerse yourself in Scott's tale of pride, honour, loyalty and betrayal and do so in the landscape in which it was set. Tweed's echoes heard the ceaseless plash, While many a broken band, Disordered, through her currents dash, To gain the Scottish land To tell red Flodden's dismal tale, And raise the universal wail. Tradition, legend, tune, and song, Shall many an age that wail prolong Of the stern strife, and carnage drear, Of Flodden's fatal field, Where shivered was fair Scotland's spear, And broken was her shield!
