Battle of Clynetradwell
The Battle of Clynetradwell〔Mackay, Angus. (1906). ''The Book of Mackay''. (St Andrews University). Printed by William Rae, Wick. pp. 286 - 287.〕 was a Scottish clan battle that took place in 1590 in the county of Sutherland between the forces of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland (chief of Clan Sutherland) and George Sinclair, 5th Earl of Caithness (chief of Clan Sinclair).〔Gordon, Sir Robert. ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''. Originally written between 1615 and 1630, published in 1813. pp. 202-203.〕〔
==Background==
The Earl of Sutherland and Earl of Caithness had long been at feud.〔〔Gordon, Sir Robert. ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''. Originally written between 1615 and 1630. Re-published in 1813. pp. 193 - 194.〕 In 1587 the Earl of Caithness’s forces had killed George Gordon of Marle, a relative of Alexander Gordon, 12th Earl of Sutherland.〔 An ally of the Earl of Caithness, John Sutherland, was also killed.〔〔
In 1590 Sinclair, Earl of Caithness gathered all of his forces and invaded Sutherland.〔 He was in fact supported by the Sutherland Laird of Forse who was seated at Forse Castle,〔 and who descended from the original line of Earls of Sutherland who had been ousted and replaced by the Gordons in the early 16th century,〔Gordon, Sir Robert. ''A Genealogical History of the Earldom of Sutherland''. Originally written between 1615 and 1630. Re-published in 1813. pp. 75 – 106〕 and the hamlet of Forse was in the county of Caithness. The Earl of Caithness was also supported by Donald Balloch Mackay of Scourie who was a half-brother of Huistean Du Mackay, 14th of Strathnaver, chief of the Clan Mackay. Huistean Du Mackay actually supported the Earl of Sutherland in 1590 but he and his half-brother Donald had long been disunited owing to a disputed chieftainship: Donald Balloch was actually the elder of the two but his parents having been first cousins meant that their marriage was an irregular one under canon law and so he could not succeed as clan chief.〔Mackay, Angus. (1906). ''The Book of Mackay''. (St Andrews University). Printed by William Rae, Wick. pp. 108.〕 Also Donald Balloch Mackay had been banished out of Strathnaver and Sutherland for killing James Mackroy and therefore retired himself to the Earl of Caithness.〔
