  • The Battle of Corrichie, also known as the Battle of Corrichy was a battle fought near Meikle Tap, near Aberdeen, Scotland, on 28 October 1562. It was fought between the forces of George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly, chief of Clan Gordon, against the forces of Mary, Queen of Scots, under James Stewart, 1st Earl of Moray. Huntly had defeated the English twenty years earlier at the Battle of Haddon Rig; however, at Corrichie he was defeated by Queen Mary's forces, and apparently he died of apoplexy after his capture. Mary had come in person to the north of Scotland intent on confronting the power of the Gordons. At Corrichie, the Gordon's tactic of charging with swords was defeated by Moray's pike drill. (en)
  • La battaglia di Corrichie (nota anche come battaglia di Corrichy) fu una battaglia combattuta nei pressi di Meikle Tap, nei pressi di Aberdeen, in Scozia, il 28 ottobre 1562. Venne combattuta tra le forze di George Gordon, IV conte di Huntly, comandante del Clan Gordon, contro le forze di Maria Stuarda, comandate da James Stewart, I conte di Moray. Huntly aveva già sconfitto gli inglesi vent'anni prima nella battaglia di Haddon Rig, ma a Corrichie venne sconfitto dalle forze di Maria di Scozia, morendo poi di apoplessia dopo la sua cattura. La regina Maria si era portata personalmente nella Scozia settentrionale per far valere i propri diritti sullo strapotere esercitato in loco dal clan Gordon. A Corrichie, la tattica della carica alla spada utilizzata dagli uomini del clan Gordon si dimostrò disastrosa di fronte alla squadra di picchieri di Moray. (it)
