    Clan Gordon-Clan Lindsay feud
    The Battle of Arbroath was fought on 24 January 1445 (or by another version in 1446) at Arbroath in Scotland. It was between rivals claimants to the post of Baillie of the Regality.[1]


    Contents
    Background
    The conflict began after the monks of the Abbey of Aborath, appointed Alexander Lindsay, Alexander Lindsay, Master of Crawford as the "Bailie of the Regality", a position charged with dispensing justice throughout the domain of the monastery.[2]

    The monks soon regretted the appointment, as the Master of Crawford began quartering large numbers of his men in the abbey, whose behavior vile and cruel.[2]. The monks described the Master of Crawford as "uneasy to convent", and soon dismissed the Master of Crawford.[2] Afterwards the appointed Alexander Ogilvy, 2nd Baron of Inverquharity, as Bailie.[2] It should be noted that Alexander Ogilvy not only had the right of election, but also had hereditary claims to the office.[2] The Master of Crawford disputed the rights Ogilvy had to the position.[2] When unable to reconcile the dispute, he arbitrated with the sword.[2]

    The Master of Crawford, who would become the 4th Earl of Crawford, was the son of David Lindsay, 3rd Earl of Crawford, and son of Marjory Ogilvy, daughter of Alexander Ogilvie of Auchterhouse.[3]

    The battle
    On 24 January 1445, the Master of Crawford arrived at the gates of the abbey with over one thousand men, mostly Lindsays, including a group of Hamiltons from Clydesdale.[2] Alexander Ogilvy of Inverquharity, was fortunate that he was entertaining guests on the day of the attack; Alexander Gordon, 1st Earl of Huntly, Sir John Oliphant of Aberdagie, Maxwell of Tealing, Brucklay of Gartley, Forbes of Pitsligo, and Gordon of Borrowfield, were all in the Baron's company.[2] Though outnumbered, Ogilvy and his allies drew up the lines of battle.[2] Alexander Ogilvy's force was supported by men from Clan Oliphant, Clan Seton, Clan Gordon and Clan Forbes.[2]

    Meanwhile, the Earl of Crawford rode with great haste from Dundee in order to prevent hostilities.[2] The Earl rode across the field, between the two armies, to confer with Ogilvy.[2] but one of the men assembled under Ogilvy, mistook his approach for hostilities, threw a spear which struck the Earl in the mouth, killing him instantly.[2] Although an accident, this ended any chance for a peaceful resolution.[2] The battle began, both lines with spears at the ready.[2] It is said in an account of the battle by Buchanan, that the Lindsays cried out "Why do you bring those goads with you, as if you had to do with oxen? Pray, throw them away, and let us fight it out with out swords, hand to hand, by true valour, as becomes men."[2] As a result, both sides abandoned their spears, with the exception of a hundred of the Clydesdale men, who held the points of their spears in their hands behind them.[2] When they entered combat, the Clydesdale men held the spears out, creating a spear wall, which broke the ranks of the Ogilvy line.[2]

    The Ogilvy force retreated, and made a last desperate stand about three miles away, at the village of Leysmill, where they rallied and turned to face the pursuers.[2] This second battle raged into the night, and Ogilvy and Pitsligo fell.[2] The Lindsays, though victorious, suffered heavy casualties at Leysmill, and were unable to pursue the Ogilvys further when they fell back to Kinnell, the men carrying the bodies of Ogilvy and Pitsligo with them.[2] It was determined that the body of Ogilvy should be interred in the aisle of the church in Kinnell.[2] This couplet was engraved on the aisle where he was buried: "While the girss grows green and the water rins clear, Let nane but Ogilvys lie here".[2]

    Aftermath
    Though the battle ended in Clan Lindsay's favor, they lost a disproportionate number of men, and the Earl of Crawford.[2] Alexander Ogilvy, Forbes of Pitsligo, Brucklay of Gartley, Gordon of Borrowfield, and Sir John Oliphant of Aberdalgie perished.[2]

    Following the battle, the Master of Crawford, who would later be known as "The Tiger Earl of Crawford", unleashed what remained of his army upon the lands of his enemies: "and the flames of their castles, the slaughter of their vassals, the plunder of their property, and the captivity of their wives and children, instructed the remotest adherents of the Bailie of Aborath, how terrible was the vengeance which they had provoked."[2]

    From this time forward, clan Lindsay had an aversion to the color green, and from the battle originated the couplet: "An Ogilvy in Green, Should never be seen".[2] It appears to have become a curse to the Lindsays, who were later defeated at the Battle of Brechin against the Earl of Huntley.[2] The Earl of Crawford attributed this loss to the Lindsays being dressed primarily in green, much like the Ogilvys at Arborath.[2]

    The body of Alexander Ogilvy, 2nd Baron of Inverquharity, was uncovered at the Church of Kinnell in 1885, during a demolition. A local tale stated that for hundreds of years, the large boots and spurs of the Baron hung over the aisle.[2] The remains found were of a "gigantic" man, confirming the stories of the great stature of Ogilvy.[2] The spur, having been recovered, now sits in the vestibule of the present church at Kinnell.[2]


    John married Isabel Or Margaret OGILVY in Aberdalgie, Perth, Scotland. Isabel (daughter of Sir Walter Of Auchterhouse OGILVY and Isabel RAMSEY) was born about 1420 in Auchterhouse, Angusshire, Scotland; died after 1471. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Notes:

    William Hay of Erroll, succeeded to the estates in 1436, and had sasine of the lands of Inchira on 25 January 1443-44, on a precept from Joanna Beaufort, Queen of James I, and to him and Beatrix his wife on 30 January 1449-50, on his own resignation. He granted a charter of the lands of Achmore to Sir David Hay of Yester in 1452.

    According to Douglas, he was created EARL OF ERROLL 17 March 1452-53, but the Auchenleck Chronicle states that he was belted Earl in the Parliament held 12 June 1452. As Earl of Erroll, he resigned all his lands into the King's hands to be erected into the lordship of Erroll and regality of Slains respectively, on which resignation he had on 31 july 1452 two charters under the Great Seal, one of the lordship of Errol and the other of the regality of Slains, to himself and a long series of heirs. It was in virtue of these charters that the title and estates passed to the heir-male in 1541, and remained a male fief till the destination was changed in the time of Charles II.

    The Earl was alive on 15 November 1461, so that the date of his death in the Erroll Obits, 24 August 1460, must be wrong. The true date is probably October 1462.

    He married, before 17 March 1449-50, Beatrix Douglas, daughter of James, seventh Earl of Douglas, who survived him.

    William, first Earl, had issue:

    1. Nicholas, second Earl
    2. William, third Earl.
    3. Gilbert, a substitute in a charter of 1460 by his father of the lands of Meikle Arnage. He probably died young.
    4. Elizabeth, who was contracted in marriage ?with Sir Andrew Gray ?
    5. Margaret, married, first, about 1470 to Alexander Fraser, fourth of Philorth ?
    6. Isabel, married Laurence, first Lord Oliphant.

    From "Duncan the fat's descendants become Robertsons" by Joe Adair:

    http://www.adair.ca/Robertson/Robertson.html

    Duncan's son, Robert became second Lord of Struan about 1355. Through his second marriage, he acquired the lands of Stermont. However, his first marriage to the daughter of Sir John Sterling of Glenesk created some friction due to shared inheritance of the lands of Glenesk in Angus with her sister who married Sir Alexander Lindsay. The Lindsays had a son, Sir David Lindsay.

    The Lindsays were very powerful, owning 2/3 of Angus County and were overlords of the highland district of Strathnairn. The division of land to the two sisters may have annoyed our chief.

    Sir David Lindsay expected trouble from his aunt's family, and quite rightly so as it turned out. He arranged a meeting with Robert to discuss the matter. Robert did not attend. Sir David Lindsay sent a scout to find out what was going on. The scout never returned. Robert did not attend the meeting, instead secretly met with Sir Duncan Stewart who was backed by his men and the Roses from Strathnairn.

    Robert had 3 younger half brothers, through their father's second marriage. They were Patrick of Lude, Thomas of Strowan and Gibbon. These brothers led a small army of our clansmen and secretly joined with Sir Duncan Stewart and his men to form an army of over 300 in 1392. They marched into Angus to the east and killed many Lindsays and their Ogilvies allies and their homes were burnt. Three thousand head of Angus cattle were stolen and driven to Rannoch.

    The surviving enemy regrouped and caught up with our clan near Blairgowrie. At the battle of Glasclune, the Angus men were defeated, but we suffered heavy losses. The cattle were driven along the valley of Strathardle to our clan territory.

    Still the enemy was not content to let it stand. Sir Walter Ogilvie, hereditary Sheriff of Angus, got it in his head that our clan's action was on shaky legal ground. He and his possy joined the retreating Angus men previously defeated and caught up with our men at Glenbrierachan in western Strathardle, six miles northeast of Pitlochry. Sixty mounted knights and sundry others comprised the enemy.

    This steel armour and long lances were matched against our array of weapons:

    Claymore - large broadsword, sharp on both edges
    Targe - small, light shield which sacrifices defense to make offence easier
    Dirk - dagger that can be used while the enemy fends off your claymore
    We sent the Angus cattle ahead and positioned ourselves on rough ground, difficult for the enemy horses. Thus a charge by the knights with lances lowered would be difficult.

    The battle did not last long. Sir David Lindsay had pinned one of our men to the ground. Our clansman pulled himself up using Sir David's own lance and using his claymore, penetrated Sir David's stirrup and armour steel boot to nearly sever Sir David's foot off, having cut through to the bone. Unfortunately, our brave clansman died later of his wounds.

    In the quick defeat of the enemy and their subsequent panic, Sir Walter Ogilvie (the now late sheriff), his brother, nearly a dozen knights and about 60 others were killed by our clan. After so much harassment over this simple cattle transaction, our clan realized that
