Battle of Flodden excavation

14K deaths? That's a pretty high battle death amount for a pre-19th century battle. Antietam which was the bloodiest 1 day battle of the American Civil War had 25K dead.

 

The Scottish nobility was pretty much wiped out.

 

no it didnt it had 25,000 casualties including dead

now if you want a pre 19th century slaughterfest this badboy counted for possibly 1% of the english population

A mere skirmish...!

 

Hmm! I didn't look at the dates. I guess the dead are still dead though. RIP
