After the crooked armourer had killed his man, as already related from Bower, it is said that he either sat down or drew aside, which being observed by the leader of Cluny’s band, he asked his reason for thus stopping; on which Wynd said, “Because I have fulfilled my bargain, and earned my wages.”--“The man,” exclaimed the other, “who keeps no reckoning of his good deeds, without reckoning shall be repaid,” an observation which tempted the armourer to earn, in the multiplied deaths of his opponents, a sum exceeding by as many times the original stipulation. This speech of the leader has been formed into the Gaelic adage, “_Am fear nach cunntadh rium_ _Cha chunntainn ris_,” which Macintosh thus renders, “The man that reckons not with me I will not reckon with him.” Victory at last declared for the Macphersons, but not until 29 of the Davidsons had fallen prostrate in the arms of death. Nineteen of Cluny’s men also bit the dust, and the remaining 11, with the exception of Henry Wynd, who by his excellence as a swordsman had mainly contributed to gain the day, were all grievously wounded. The survivor of the clan Davidson escaped unhurt. Mackintosh following Buchanan, relates that this man, after all his companions had fallen, threw himself into the Tay, and making the opposite bank, escaped; but this is most likely a new version of Bower’s account of the affrighted champion before the commencement of the action. The leader of the clan Kay or Davidsons is called by Bower _Schea-beg_, and by Wyntoun, _Scha-Ferquharis son_, Boece calls him _Strat-berge_. Who _Christi-Mac-Iain_, or _Christi-Jonson_ was genealogically, we are not informed; but one thing is pretty clear, that he, not _Schea-beg_, or _Shaw Oig_,--for these are obviously one and the same,--commanded the clan Chattan, or “_Clann-a-Chait_.”[140] Both the principals seem to have been absent, or spectators merely of the battle; and as few of the leading men of the clan, it is believed, were parties in the combat, the savage policy of the government, which, it is said, had taken this method to rid itself of the chief men of the clan, by making them destroy one another, was completely defeated. This affair seems to have produced a good effect, as the Highlanders remained quiet for a considerable time thereafter. [Illustration: Effigy of “the Wolf of Badenoch” in Dunkeld Cathedral.]
