Lion (warship)
''Lion'' was the name of five warships of the Royal Scottish Navy during the 16th century, some of which were prizes captured by, and from the English. The names of these ships reflect the Royal Arms of Scotland and its central motif of the Lion Rampant.
==The two ''Lion''s of James IV==
The ''Lion'' was commanded by brothers Sir Robert Barton and Sir Andrew Barton and captured by the English in 1511. The ship did not belong to the king but was fitted out for warfare by the Barton brothers. She was around 120 tons with a crew of forty, and probably the largest merchant ship used and hired by James IV of Scotland; small in comparison the king's ''Margaret'' and ''Great Michael''.〔Macdougall, Norman, ''James IV'', Tuckwell (1997), 235-6.〕 Robert Barton took James IV of Scotland to the Isle of May in the ''Lion'' in September 1506.〔''Accounts of the Lord High Treasurer of Scotland'', vol. 3, (1901), 204, 342.〕 Andrew Barton took the ''Lion'' and the small ''Jennet of Purwyn'', (which was a captured Danish ship) close to England in June 1511. He was acting with a royal ''Letter of Marque'', which was a license to plunder Portuguese ships. Both ships were captured by Sir Edward and Sir Thomas Howard and taken to Blackwall. Andrew Barton was killed during their capture.
Robert Barton provided a new larger replacement ''Lion'' of 300 tons.〔Macdougall, Norman, ''James IV'', Tuckwell, (1997), 240-242.〕 The new ''Lion'' was victualled at Honfleur on 24 August 1513 with supplies for 260 men. James IV had lent his ships to France in the months before Flodden.〔Hannay, Robert Kerr, ''Letters of James IV'', SHS, (1953), 316, no. 565.〕
