During James IV's invasion of 1513, Scottish forces encountered and overcame English resistance at Tweed crossings as they moved southward. The skirmishes at various Tweed fords as the Scottish army crossed represented the first armed contacts of the campaign. English border riders shadowed the Scottish advance but could not seriously contest the crossing of an army of such scale. The Tweed crossings gave James control of the ground between the river and the Cheviot Hills where he would ultimately fight at Flodden.
