The English attack on Jedburgh in 1523 was part of the broader Anglo-Scottish border conflicts during the reign of Henry VIII, demonstrating English military dominance in the Borders region. Led by the Earl of Surrey, it represented English efforts to project power into Scottish territory and destabilize the border during a period of Scottish weakness. The raid reinforced English control of the Borders and contributed to the cycle of cross-border raids that characterized Tudor-era Anglo-Scottish relations.
