More on Tam Dalyell of the Binns
Description from Wikipedia:
General Tam (Thomas) Dalyell ( Dalziell, Dalziel or Dalzell) (1615 – 1685) was a Scottish Royalist General. Also known by the soubriquets, Bluidy Tam and the Muscovite de'il.
Dalyell was born in Linlithgowshire; the son of Thomas Dalyell of the House of the Binns, Linlithgowshire; head of a cadet branch of the family of the Earls of Carnwath, and of Janet, daughter of the 1st Lord Bruce of Kinloss, Master of the Rolls in England.
He appears to have accompanied Charles I's expedition to La Rochelle in 1628 at the age of 13. Latterly as a colonel, served under General Robert Munro and General Leslie in Ulster.
Hearing of the execution of Charles I on 30 January 1649 it is said that he refused to shave his beard as a penance for the behaviour of his fellow countrymen. He was taken prisoner at the capitulation of Carrickfergus in August 1650, but was given a free pass, and having been banished from Scotland, remained in Ireland.
He was present at the Battle of Worcester (3 September 1651), where his men surrendered, and he himself was captured and imprisoned in the Tower of London. In May he escaped abroad, and in 1654 took part in the Highland rebellion and was exempted from Oliver Cromwell's act of grace, a reward of 200 guineas being offered for his capture, dead or alive.
Dalziel evaded capture and fled to Russia. There he entered the service of the Tsar, Alexei Mikhailovich, and distinguished himself as general in the wars against the Turks and Tatars.
