The present story turns upon the private adventures of a fictitious character, but is called a Tale of Flodden Field, because the hero's fate is connected with that memorable defeat and the causes which led to it.... The poem opens about the commencement of August, and concludes with the defeat of Flodden, 9th September, 1513.--Original Preface.
Marmion was first published in 1818. This edition has many notes by Mr. Rolfe.
