The incursion of Bonaparte's army into Italy in the spring of 1796 was primarily a diversion to relieve pressure on the Rhine front. However, its success quickly opened up new possibilities: French support and the activism of local patriots led to the establishment of sister republics. Over three years (1796-1799), known as the Triennio, the political landscape and institutions of the peninsula underwent significant changes. This period, marked by reforms and democratic achievements, as well as the involvement of individuals previously excluded from public affairs, is crucial for understanding how the Triennio influenced the attitudes of both elites and the general populace during and after the Napoleonic era.

However, the sister republics collapsed in the spring of 1799 in the face of the successes of the Austro-Russian armies of the Second Coalition and the armed uprisings of peasants incited by the clergy and angered by French abuses. Naples surrendered in June 1799, and the repression there was severe.

The political landscape of the peninsula was once again reshaped by France following the Second Italian Campaign, which began in 1800. The Cisalpine Republic, reinstated after the Battle of Marengo and expanded during the Peace of Lunéville, gave way to the Italian Republic in 1802, then became a kingdom in 1805. The kingdom's territory expanded to include Veneto and Istria (1805), the Marche region (1808), and South Tyrol (1810). Thanks to the Vice-President of the Italian Republic, Francesco Melzi d'Eril, the political efforts during these years resulted in the establishment of a modern state and significant reforms in administration, justice, and the military.

The Napoleonic experience helped to politically educate the Italian elites, providing them with a shared institutional and legal framework, as well as standardized administrative practices, which made the idea of unity feasible.

October 17th 1346 saw The Battle of Neville's Cross.

This was a disastrous one for us Scots, and another that we can put down to fulfilling our obligations of  The Auld Alliance. The French invoked it after they had been beaten by the English invaders at  The Battle of Crecy in August that year.

The first battle for a couple of weeks, I think with the weather turning there was less inclination for long marches south to fight the English, but the bold David II did this, perhaps to try and live up to his father, Robert’s legacy. I touched upon this battle on October 3rd when talking about the treaty of Berwick.

This was another case of the French invoking The Auld Alliance, Edward III was involved in the medieval English hobby of attacking the French and King Philip VI wanted to divert their resources and open up a second front, so David was asked to invade England.

Despite the desperate pleas of Philip in June 1346, when Edward was amassing his army in the south of England, David Bruce made no move until October, he adopted a policy of waiting until he believed most English troops were fighting in France and with winter approaching, he then invaded England.

On 7th October, David’s army crossed the border. After taking Liddle Strength, a pele tower on the border, they took Lanercost Priory, then crossing the Pennines they sacked Hexham Priory before advancing towards Durham. David’s army arrived at there on 16th October and camped at the Bishop of Durham’s great deer park at Beaurepaire, where they were offered £1,000 in protection money to be paid by 18th October.

With King Edward absent in France, the English forces in the north were commanded by Ralph Neville, 2nd Lord of Raby, Henry Percy and William Zouche, Archbishop of York. Unknown to David, an English army had been hastily mobilized at Auckland Park, approximately ten miles from the Scottish camp.

The Scots were taken unaware and only discovered the presence of the English army on the morning of the 17th when troops led by William Douglas encountered them in the early morning mist during a raid south of Durham when the English drove the Scots off resulting in heavy Scottish casualties.

On hearing the unforeseen news of the skirmish, David II led his army to the high ground at Neville’s Cross the site of an old Anglo-Saxon stone cross, on moorland just to the west of Durham, to prepare for battle. He deployed his army into three divisions, David led the centre, Douglas and the Earl of Moray had command of the right, and Robert Stewart the left. The English lined up along a narrow ridge west of Durham were their flanks were protected by deep valleys on either side. The English army was drawn up in three divisions, the centre was commanded by Ralph de Neville, while Henry Percy led the right wing and the Archbishop of York the left.

The Scots adopted a defensive stance, a stalemate lasted until the afternoon, when English longbowmen were sent to fire on the Scottish battle lines, which forced the Scots to attack. However, the Scots were disadvantaged by the uneven topography which broke their formations as they advanced, allowing the English to deal easily with the Scottish attack. The battle progressed badly for the Scots, their left division were separated from the English by a steep ravine and while attempting to attack across this obstacle were under heavy fire from the English archers, the division began to disintegrate into confusion and retreat. The Scot’s right division, however, caused the English to retreat, which then exposed their flank to the English reserves, and they then began to falter.

As their position grew more dangerous, David II’s nephew, Robert Stewart, his future successor as King of the Scots, panicked and fled the battlefield, but David displayed himself a true son of Robert the Bruce, fighting on with valour, despite having two arrows in his body.

David II initially managed to escape. However, legend records that while he was hiding under a bridge over the nearby River Browney, his reflection was spotted in the water by a English soldiers out searching for him. David was then taken prisoner by John de Coupland. King David was imprisoned at Odiham Castle in Hampshire from 1346 to 1357. After eleven years, he was released in return for a ransom of 100,000 marks as part of the aforementioned Treaty of Berwick.

It’s worth noting that Edward III did more than his fair share of meddling in Scottish affairs, like his grandfather he used the much maligned Balliol family during what is called The Second war of Scottish Independence.

Photos are a depiction of the battle, the remains of the medieval cross and remains of Oldham Castl where David spent the majority of his time in England.
