The sieges of Haddington were a series of sieges staged at the Royal Burgh of Haddington, East Lothian, Scotland, as part of the War of the Rough Wooing, one of the last Anglo-Scottish Wars. Following Regent Arran's defeat at the battle of Pinkie Cleugh on Saturday 10 September 1547, he took Haddington, with 5000 troops including French mercenaries and troops sent by Henry II of France to bolster the Auld Alliance. Afterwards, Francis Talbot, 5th Earl of Shrewsbury took it with nearly 15,000. The English forces built artillery fortifications and were able to withstand an assault by the besieging French and Scots troops supported by heavy cannon in July 1548. Although the siege was scaled down after this unsuccessful attempt, the English garrison abandoned the town on 19 September 1549, aft

  • Gli assedi di Haddington furono una serie di assedi che ebbero luogo presso la città di Haddington, in Scozia, come parte del "brutale corteggiamento", una delle ultime guerre anglo-scozzesi. Dopo la sconfitta del conte di Arran nella battaglia di Pinkie il 10 settembre 1547, fu in grado di conquistare la città di Haddington con 5 000 uomini tra cui diversi mercenari francesi e truppe inviate da Enrico II di Francia nell'ambito dell'Auld Alliance. Successivamente, Francis Talbot, V conte di Shrewsbury, giunse con 15 000 uomini al suo seguito. Le forze inglesi costruirono delle fortificazioni d'artiglieria e furono in grado di resistere all'assalto degli assedianti franco-scozzesi nel luglio del 1548. La guarnigione inglese abbandonò infine la città il 19 settembre 1549, sia a causa di una serie di raids notturni degli scozzesi, della malattia sviluppatasi all'interno degli uomini della guarnigione e per il cambiamento delle circostanze politiche.
