• The Battle of Worcester which took place on 3rd September 1651 would prove to be the final action of the English Civil War
• Charles II, at head of a mainly Scottish army, was attempting to regain the throne that had been lost when his father Charles I was executed
• Support for the king was strongest in Scotland, and the Royalist commander David Leslie had gathered an army of some 14,000 Scotsmen to fight the cause
• Marching south through England the Scottish Royalist army were perceived as an invading foreign force and consequently failed to gather the support expected, so by the time they reached Worcester they were simply overwhelmed by the 28,000 strong New Model Army of Oliver Cromwell

• Clan MacNeil, also known in Scotland as Clan Niall, is a highland Scottish clan, particularly associated with the Outer Hebridean island of Barra. The early history of Clan MacNeil is obscure, however despite this the clan claims to descend from the legendary Irish King Niall of the nine hostages. The clan itself takes its name from a Niall who lived in the 13th or early 14th century, and who belonged to the same dynastic family of Cowal and Knapdale as the ancestors of the Lamonts, MacEwens of Otter, Maclachlans, and the MacSweens. While the clan is centred in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, there is a branch of the clan in Argyll (McNeill/MacNeill) that some historians have speculated was more senior in line, or possibly even unrelated. However, according to Scots law the current chief of Clan Macneil is the chief of all MacNeil(l)s.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_MacNeil
