Sauchie Burn, battle of, 1488. In the summer of 1488, James III of Scotland was faced with a large rebellion, led by Archibald Douglas,
earl of Angus, and supported by the heir to the throne, the 15-year-old Prince James. The king gathered supporters from the north and east and advanced through Stirling to the site of Bannockburn. On 11 June his army was routed and he was killed, possibly while in flight.
