Bataille de Yeavering
La bataille de Yeavering (ou bataille de Geteryne) oppose le royaume d'Angleterre et le royaume d'Écosse le 22 juillet 1415. Une grande armée écossaise qui menait un raid dans le Northumberland est battue par les troupes du comte de Westmorland Ralph Neville. La victoire des Anglais est assurée par la présence d'archers, efficacité stratégique qui sera à nouveau démontrée lors de la bataille d'Azincourt la même année.

Yeavering
Yeavering () is a hamlet in the north-east corner of the civil parish of Kirknewton in the English county of Northumberland. It is located on the River Glen at the northern edge of the Cheviot Hills. It is noteworthy as the site of a large Anglo-Saxon period settlement that archaeologists have interpreted as being one of the seats of royal power held by the kings of Bernicia in the 7th century AD.
Evidence for human activity in the vicinity has been found from the Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, although the first significant settlement at Yeavering occurred in the Iron Age. In this period, a heavily inhabited hillfort was constructed on Yeavering Bell which appears to have been a major settlement centre at the time.
According to Book 2 Chapter 14 of the Ecclesiastical History of the Venerable Bede (673–735), in the year 627 Bishop Paulinus of York accompanied the Northumbrian king Edwin and his queen Æthelburg to their royal vill (the Latin term is villa regia), Adgefrin, where Paulinus spent 36 days preaching and baptising converts in the river Glen.

Battle of Yeavering

A small English force consisting of 440 men led by the Earl of Westmoreland defeated 4000 Scots. Fought in the same year as the Battle of Agincourt, which famously demonstrated the efficacy of the longbow against cavalry, it is notable that the English side at Yeavering consisted mostly of archers.
The site is marked by a battle stone, probably originally a Bronze Age standing stone.
