Research Notes:
4th Lord Borthwick, of Barony cr 1452 [Ref: CP II p222]

a Lord Borthwick is said to have been slain at Flodden 9 Sep 1513, but this is unlikely; probably the 4th Lord fought and was wounded at that battle [Ref: CP II p221(d)]

may have fallen at Flodden [Ref: SP VIII p432]

the fact of the death of a Lord Borthwick at Flodden has, rightly or wrongly, been hitherto accepted by the historians generally. The poem of Flodden Field, 1664, has it that he "upon the bent did breathless bide," but he may have recovered. On the assumption of the death of a Lord Borthwick in 1513, his successor was William, fifth Lord Borthwick, to whom was intrusted, after the battle of Flodden, the castle of Stirling, with the custody of the infant monarch, James V [WTM: no other children given of the 4th Lord, and the children of the 5th Lord in SP matches that of the 4th in CP] [Ref: SP II p108]
