Viscount Dundee 1649-1689. Scottish soldier. Appointed by Charles II to suppress the Covenanters from 1677, he was routed at Drumclog 1679, but three weeks later won the battle of Bothwell Bridge, by which the rebellion was crushed. Until 1688 he was engaged in continued persecution and became known as `Bloody Clavers', regarded by the Scottish people as a figure of evil. Then his army joined the first Jacobite rebellion and defeated the loyalist forces in the pass of Killiecrankie, where he was mortally wounded.
