Massacre of Monzievaird : ウィキペディア英語版 | Massacre of Monzievaird
The Massacre of Monzievaird took place on 21 October 1490, the result of a violent blood feud between the Murray and Drummond families of Monzievaird in the Scottish Highlands. Feuding, murdering kin, and marrying enemies were commonplace for Highlanders at the time, but the massacre was nevertheless notorious and sensational in its day. ==Background== William Murray of Tullibardine lost the stewardship of Strathearn, which he had held for over fifty years, to Lord Drummond. Despite their marital links, the Drummonds evicted the Murrays and set about creating difficulties for George Murray, the abbot of Inchaffray Abbey. When the abbey subsequently ran short of funds Murray sought to assess the teinds of the Drummond lands of Monzievaird. The abbot charged the Murrays of Ochtertyre with the task, which they eagerly undertook with such brutality that the Drummonds were provoked into violent retaliation.
