The Battle

History & Significance

Berwick upon Tweed, the key border fortress between England and Scotland, was recovered by English forces in 1355 after a period of Scottish control. The town changed hands multiple times during the fourteenth century. The English recovery in 1355 secured the town as a garrison for renewed campaigns against Scotland and was part of the broader English strategic pressure during the reign of Edward III.
