The Rough Wooing, or Silver Darlings.

The Rough Wooing is a term that has been coined for Henry VIII’s warlike efforts to weaken Scotland and bring it under his control. He attempted to unite the Kingdoms by forcing his young son Edward upon Mary of Guise’s infant daughter Mary Queen of Scots – instead they fled to France. Henry VIII raided Scottish fishing grounds, razed the city of Edinburgh to the ground (apart from the castle), paid collaborators, and began a propaganda campaign designed to soften Scots up to the idea of union with England.
