Aberdeen, battle of, 1644. After his victory at Tippermuir on 1 September 1644, Montrose advanced upon Aberdeen with fewer than 2,000 men against a superior covenanting force under Lord Balfour. After heavy fighting on the 13th, Montrose's troops entered the city. Incensed by the murder of a drummer-boy while negotiations were in progress, Montrose gave Aberdeen over to sack and pillage.
