Where Fashion Goes From Here
[Daily article] November 5: Battle of Flodden
Henry Clifford, 10th Baron Clifford (c. 1454 – 23 April 1523),
was an English nobleman. Henry's father died fighting for the House of
Lancaster, and when Henry Tudor came to the throne in 1485, he relied on
Clifford as a loyal Tudor servant to control the north of England.
Clifford was not always successful in this, and his actions were not
always popular, but his royal service was extremely profitable. He
frequently quarrelled with his neighbours, occasionally resulting in
violent feuds. He married a cousin of the King and his infidelity became
notorious. Clifford's relations with his eldest son and heir were also
turbulent; he complained that his son lived above his station, consorted
with men of bad influence and was excessively violent. Clifford outlived
the King and attended the coronation of Henry VIII in 1509. Continuing
to serve as the King's man in the north, he took part in the decisive
English victory over the Scots at Flodden in 1513..
