Auld Alliance
It all dates back to a treaty signed between Scotland and France in 1295, named the Auld Alliance, when both nations agreed to help eachother should either country be attacked by England.
However, the alliance was never officially cemented until John Balliol and Philip IV of France signed a treaty in 1295.
The pact bound the Auld Alliance to help each other should either country be attacked by England.
Scots in the French army
The Kingdom of Scotland kept their end of the bargain and their forces served in the French military during the Wars of the Roses.
Scottish forces served in the French military throughout most of the Hundred Yearsβ War, earning a reputation as capable fighters in the process.
Battle of Bauge
I already asked a question myself regarding this subject, which can be found here and I received a rather brilliant answer informing me that the Scots at the Battle of Bauge outnumbered the French by approximately four or five to one, which should give one an idea of just how much the Scots contributed towards French victory.
Other battles
Other battles during the Wars of the Roses which involved the Kingdom of Scotland to one degree or other, include:
- Battle of Cravant - English victory
- Battle of Verneuil - English victory
- Siege of Orleans - Franco-Scots victory
- Battle of Herrings - English victory
- Battle of Wakefield - Welsh victory, supported by Franco-Scots
- Battle of Bosworth Field - Welsh victory, supported by Franco-Scots
