Battle of Ancrum Moor

Scottish forces, led by the Earl of Arran and Earl of Angus, launch a surprise ambush on English troops under Sir Ralph Eure on Ancrum Moor, exploiting the terrain to their advantage.

Setting

Ancrum Moor, a rugged and open moorland near the village of Ancrum in the Scottish Borders. The terrain is uneven with patches of heather, gorse, and scattered rocks, providing natural cover for the ambushing Scottish forces. The moor is bordered by sparse woodland to the north, where the Scots have concealed their troops.

SELECTED

Earl of Arran

A tall, broad-shouldered man in his early forties with a weathered face, sharp blue eyes, and a thick, well-groomed auburn beard. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his posture exudes authority.

Earl of Angus

primary

A tall, broad-shouldered Scottish noble in his early 40s with a weathered face, piercing blue eyes, and a thick red beard streaked with grey. His hands are calloused from years of wielding a sword, and his stance exudes authority and battle-hardened confidence.

Sir Ralph Eure

Scottish Archer

A wiry, sun-browned man in his late twenties with a lean, muscular build from years of archery practice. His face is weathered from exposure to the elements, with sharp blue eyes that scan the moor intently. His dark brown hair is tied back with a simple leather thong, and a short, unkempt beard covers his jaw.

English Lieutenant

Earl of Arran Steady now, lads. Let them march into the trap. Not a sound till my signal.

Earl of Angus Aye, they’re ripe for the taking. See how they strut like cocks in a yard.

Sir Ralph Eure Damnation! Where are those scouts? This moor reeks of treachery.

English Lieutenant Sir, the ground’s too open—we’re exposed! Archers to the flank, now!

Earl of Arran Now, lads! For Scotland and freedom!

Earl of Angus Drive them into the heather! Let none escape!

Sir Ralph Eure Stand firm, you curs! Stand firm or we’re all dead men!
