The Battle of Corrichie took place on October 28, 1562, in Scotland. It was a conflict between the forces of the Crown led by Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Clan Gordon, who opposed her rule. The battle was part of the larger struggle for power among Scottish clans during this turbulent period. The Crown's forces, numbering around 1,500, faced off against the Gordons, who were significantly outnumbered. Despite their disadvantage, the Gordons fought fiercely but ultimately lost the battle. This defeat weakened the Clan Gordon's influence and solidified the Crown's authority in the region.
