Margaret travels to Scotland to negotiate for Scottish assistance.

Mary of Gueldres, Queen Consort to James II of Scotland, agrees to give Margaret an army on condition that she cede the town of Berwick to Scotland and Mary's daughter be betrothed to Prince Edward.

Margaret agrees, although she has no funds to pay her army and can only promise booty from the riches of southern England, as long as no looting takes place north of the River Trent.

She takes her army to Hull, recruiting more men as she goes.
