The Capture of Berwick was a siege that took place in 1482 during the Anglo-Scottish Wars. The future Richard III led an army to take Berwick-Upon-Tweed. He was successful, and it never fell out of English hands again. He afterwards advanced to Edinburgh, were James III of Scotland had been imprisoned. He did not have the siege capability to take it, and withdrew to England
