At the Battle of Killiecrankie the Williamite forces of the British Government under the command of General Hugh McKay were defeated (crushed actually) by the Jacobite army under the command of John Graham of Claverhouse, 1st Vicount of Dundee.
But the man known as Bonnie Dundee or Bluidy Clavers, depending on which side you were on, would not live to see the moment of his great triumph as he was killed in the battle.
Without Dundee to lead them Jacobean Highlanders rebellion against King William and Queen Mary in support of the deposed King James fell apart and left King James alone in Ireland fighting for the Jacobite cause.
So what if Bonnie Dundee lived to fight another day? What impact would his survival have on the course of things?
