"The election of Henry of Falkirk as Provost or Mayor of Stirling in 1553 over incumbant John Craigengelt of that Ilk resulted in a feud between the two families and their supporters. Hostilities erupted on 21 August 1555, culminating in Craigengelt's losing his left arm and his son Robert's left arm being cut off by Henry and his sons William and Thomas."[2]
