More about this scene

In 1388, the 2nd Earl of Douglas invaded the Earl of Northumberland's domain to the south. Douglas raided far and wide; then, after capturing Northumberland's standard, he returned home. On 5 August 1388, the two sides clashed yet again. In the savage hand-to-hand fighting that went on all night Douglas was killed, and the Earl of Northumberland was taken prisoner.
