Battle of Glasgow (1544)
The Battle of Glasgow was fought on 16 March 1544,〔 gives the date as 16 March 1543–4. See Old Style and New Style dates〕 between Matthew Stewart, 4th Earl of Lennox and the Scottish Regent James Hamilton, 2nd Earl of Arran, and their adherents, during the minority of Mary, Queen of Scots. There was a second battle at Glasgow Muir in May 1544 between Arran and the Earl of Glencairn.〔Also known as Battle of Glasgow Field, and the Battle of Glasgow Muir (or Battle of Glasgow Moor).〕
==Prelude==
The Earl of Lennox and William Cunningham, Earl of Glencairn continued to show support for the marriage of Prince Edward to Mary, Queen of Scots after the Parliament of Scotland had rejected this English marriage proposal. The rejection, a breach of the Treaty of Greenwich, resulted in the declaration of war, the war now called the Rough Wooing.〔Merriman, Marcus, ''The Rough Wooings'', Tuckwell (2000), 134-142.〕 Lennox and Glencairn were thus caught offside and technically traitors. Lennox wrote to Mary of Guise on 7 March 1544 hoping to buy time by offering his innocence to be tried before a convention of his peers. He wrote that it was heavily murmured by the Governor and his council;"that I am the principell man that causis division and braik be in this realme and makis daily insurrectionis and disobeance contrar the authority." However Arran had already ordered an attack on Glasgow.〔Cameron, Annie I., ''Scottish Correspondence of Mary of Lorraine'', STS (1927), 67.〕 Artillery and hand guns were sent from Edinburgh Castle.〔Merriman, Marcus, ''The Rough Wooings'', Tuckwell (2000), 141: ''Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland'', vol. 8, 271-76, 282-285, 293-294.〕 Bothwell Castle was taken first on 8 March.〔''Letters and Papers Henry VIII'', vol. 19 part 1, (1903), no. 181.〕 Lennox's men took up position at the Castle and Cathedral, but he himself stayed at his stronghold, Dumbarton Castle.
