	Musselburgh Field [Child 172] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sep 10, 1547 - Battle of Pinkie (Pinkie Cleuch, Musselburgh).
		Pinkie was the final major ballad of the Anglo-Scottish border wars; by the time the Scots were fully recovered, Elizabeth was Queen of England and the Scottish monarchs were her heirs; James VI, in particular, was very careful not to offend Elizabeth.
		Pinkie was the final battle of a long campaign between the English and Scots over the fate of the infant Queen Mary, who came to the throne at the age of eight days (1542) and instantly found herself a pawn in the contest between England and France.
