by 10 september, however, edward turned to alexander stewart, earl of menteith, who was appointed authority over an expansive territory stretching from ross to rutherglen. the earl was ordered to take into custody the property of alasdair mac dubhghaill and eóin mac dubhghaill; his was given authority over specific magnates such as the steward, (the keeper of ross) william hay, john comyn ii, and niall caimbéal; as well as the burghs of ayr, renfrew, dumbarton; and given authority over the men of argyll and ross. it is unknown what prompted the king to turn towards the earl. the latter had been captured following the scottish defeat at dunbar in april, and had been released from custody in june. one possibility is that the english crown sought to rely upon a power that was less personally involved in the politics of the region. it is also possible that the english orchestrated this delegation of authority in the context of adopting a divide-and-rule policy in the region as a way to offset alasdair óg's influence.
