Talk:Battle of Cromdale

Does this make sense?
Before the song lyrics this says: Nevertheless, Jacobite propagandists declared the action a victory for the royalist forces Shouldn't that be defeat?--JBellis (talk) 20:56, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

"Two battles squashed into one"?
This is claimed by Roy Williamson here. Here, in the comments section, some theorize that the other battle may have been the battle of Auldearn. It doesn't make the lyrics much less fanciful, but it helps to explain why they seem to differ from the reality so wildly. 195.187.108.4 (talk) 17:26, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

The article is badly written and confusing. "The Royalists"? There were two kings fighting for the throne: James who was deposed after running away and William who was joint monarch with James daughter Mary. If one must quote the song lyrics, one should also point out tha Cromwell was long dead by this time. Acorn897 (talk) 02:16, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
