Berwick, on hearing of the fight, marched on Norham, expecting it to be under siege. March, Douglas, and Thomas Stewart, 2nd Earl of Angus, aided by the French knights, counter-attacked and captured Berwick. Unable to take the Castle, March ordered Berwick set ablaze. The Scots retreated following news of a large army advancing under Edward III of England, who then proceeded into Scotland and laid waste to Lothian, killing and burning as he went, in an episode that would be remembered as the Burnt Candlemas.
