 哈罗之战

受盖尔-维京文化影响的该国西部沿海地区效忠于诸岛之主,而东北部地区传统上是古代皮克特王国的一部分。 可以说,西海岸的部族并不总是与东北部的部族眉来眼去。

最近的争斗涉及群岛领主唐纳德,他在为控制苏格兰北部大片地区的罗斯而战后,现在计划与他的一万名族人一起向东南方的摩雷岛进攻,前往阿伯丁。

在得知唐纳德要来的消息后,马尔伯爵亚历山大-斯图尔特(Alexander Stewart)匆忙地从当地部族中召集了一支部队,包括欧文(Irvings)、莱斯利(Lesleys)、洛夫尔(Lovels)、莫尔斯(Maules)、莫雷(Morays)和斯特林(Stirlings)。 据说马尔的部队人数只有1500人左右,但实际上可能要多得多,包括大量装备精良的骑兵骑士。

1411年7月24日上午,马尔将他的骑士作为骑兵预备队,将他的长矛手组织成战斗队形,在因韦鲁里镇附近面对前进的岛民。

岛民们对马尔的长矛手的密集队伍发起了一次又一次的冲锋,但未能打破他们的队伍。 同时,马尔带领他的骑兵进入了唐纳德军队的主力,岛民们将他们的长矛插入马匹柔软的腹部,在骑士们倒下时刺伤他们。

夜幕降临时,战场上尸横遍野。 疲惫不堪的马尔和他的军队的幸存者们休息,等待第二天早上继续战斗。 随着黎明的到来,他们发现唐纳德已经离开了战场,撤退到了群岛上。

双方遭受的重大损失意味着任何一方都不能称其为胜利者;然而,马尔成功地保卫了阿伯丁。
