' Eogan moir mic Donchadh mic Dubhgaill micSomairli ' [ Ewen mor son of Duncan son of Dougall son of Somerled ] - Genealach Mac Dubhgaill,
from the Senchus Fer nAlban[38].³ Ewen mac Dougall 3rd of Dunollie, Lord of Argyll, King of the Isles was also known as Ewen mac Dubhgaill.³ He was King of the Isles, [Ashley, pp. 435-436] EWEN MAC DOUGALL lord of Argyll and king of the Isles, c1248-66. Ewen was the son of DUNCAN and great-grandson of SOMERLED. He inherited the lordship of Argyll sometime around the year 1248. At that time the king of Norway, Haakon IV, allowed the use of the title king of the Isles. Although Ewen and his second cousins DUGALD MAC RUARI, Alan Mac Ruari and ANGUS MOR all held lordships within the Hebrides and may have regarded themselves as kinglets, they did not exercise overall authority. That was vested more in the king of Man, HARALD (I). In the year 1248 Ewen and Dugald visited the court of Haakon to apply for the title of king. Haakon vested it in Ewen. Soon after Harald of Man was shipwrecked and drowned, and Ewen was given authority to govern the full territory of Man and the Isles. Ewen returned to the Hebrides in 1249 where the Scottish king ALEXANDER II was preparing to commence hostilities against the western lords. The king caught a fever and died in July 1249, and Ewen and his cousins were safe for a while. However, Ewen was unable to convince the Manxmen to accept him as their king. How much he became involved in the intrigue between HARALD II and IVAR is not known, but when he returned to Haakon's court in 1252 to seek reinforcement of his title it was overturned in favour of MAGNUS, son of OLAF THE BLACK. Ewen stayed on a few years at Haakon's court as a mercenary sea captain but in 1255 returned to Scotland. He visited the court of the young Scottish king, ALEXANDER III who welcomed him and allowed him to retain his lordship of Argyll in return for a retainer of 60 merks (MO) a year. The English king HENRY III even interceded on his behalf. Thereafter Ewen remained loyal to Alexander. There is no doubt that Ewen was a loyal and sensible lord prepared to accept his position. His cousin, Dugald, on the other hand refused to become a Scot and remained staunchly loyal to Norway to the bitter end. He spent the period from 1253-62 patrolling the Isles as a robber baron, harassing the English, Scots and Irish fleets, and still claiming the title of king. During these years Alexander III sought to acquire the Isles from Norway without success. In 1263 Haakon sent his own fleet to teach the Scots a lesson and restake his claim to the isles. It was not successful. Ewen refused to fight and resigned his title in his island territories. After the Norse defeat at the battle of Largs in October 1263, Haakon retreated to Orkney, where he died of a fever. In the ensuing negotiations the Hebrides and Man passed from Norwegian control to Scotland. Ewen was granted the lordship of Lorn and remained a loyal subject of King Alexander. His exact date of death is not known but it was probably in the 1270s. between 1248 and 1266.¹ He was living between 1249 and 1263.²

Scotland was thrust into the War of Independence. Alexander remained loyal to Balliol and thus to the English king EDWARD I, who vested Alexander with the office of administrator of the Western Isles. He was soon opposed by his fellow Islanders, including his brother ANGUS OG, and Alexander was driven out of the islands in 1299. His fate is uncertain though the Irish Annals suggest that he was killed in the battle. Others have suggested that he forfeited all his possessions and was imprisoned in Dundonald Castle, where he died around 1308. The former fate is the more likely. between 1296 and 1299.¹

He was a strong supporter of ROBERT the Bruce and gave the king refuge during his flight from the English forces in 1306. Once Robert was established as king he confirmed Angus in his title as king of the Isles and gave him domain over all the southern Hebrides, a superior title to his cousins, the Clan MacDougall, who had supported the cause of Balliol. It was the start of the MacDonalds' almost total domination of the western Highlands. between 1299 and 1330.⁶

     Sigurd I Riki "the Mighty" (?) 2nd Earl of Orkney died in 892.¹
     He was 2nd Earl of Orkney [Ashley, p. 440-441] SIGURD (I) RIKI (THE MIGHTY) earl of Orkney, c875-92. He was the brother of RAGNALD (I), who was first granted the Isles but then gave them to Sigurd. Sigurd set out to establish himself a kingdom. In league with THORSTEIN THE RED, the son of OLAF THE WHITE, Sigurd began a systematic conquest of northern Scotland. Their conquests became the substance of many Norse sagas, all of which agree that these were the two mightiest warriors of their day. Between them they conquered the Picts of northern Britain, extending the border of their combined kingdom down through Caithness and Sutherland and into parts of Moray and Ross. Sigurd probably also laid claim to the northern Hebrides. The Scottish kings were too absorbed to the south in establishing their united kingdom and it is not even clear that DONALD II or his predecessors became involved in combatting the Norse conquests. This was left to the mórmaers, the earls of the Picts and the Scots. One of these was inadvertently the cause of Sigurd's death. Sigurd apparently flew into a temper when he was unable to negotiate terms with Máelbrigte, who was probably the mórmaer of Moray (and thereby an ancestor of MACBETH). He slew the mórmaer and hung his severed head from his saddle as a trophy. However the teeth of the head grazed against Sigurd's leg and gave him blood poisoning from which he died. He was buried at Sydero on the shores of the Dornoch Firth. He was succeeded by his son GUTHORM. between 875 and 892.¹

     Guthorm (?) Earl of Orkney died in 893.¹
     He was Earl of Orkney: [Ashley, p. 441] GUTHORM earl of Orkney, c892-3. Guthorm seems to have been the only surviving legitimate son of SIGURD THE MIGHTY and inherited the earldom on his father's death. He ruled for less than a year, however, and may have died as a result of an exceptionally harsh winter. He was succeeded by his cousin, HALLAD. between 892 and 893.¹

     Hallad (?) Earl of Orkney died after 894.¹
     He was Earl of Orkney: [Ashley, p. 441] HALLAD earl of Orkney, c893-4. Hallad was the eldest of the illegitimate sons of RAGNALD (I) and was granted the earldom of Orkney upon the sudden death of his cousin GUTHORM. Hallad was unable to control the raiding from Danish pirates or settle the complaints of farmers who came to Hallad to seek resolution. He abdicated his earldom and returned to Norway in ignominy. He was succeeded by his brother EINAR (I). between 893 and 894.¹

     Einar I (Turf-Einar) (?) Jarl of Orkney died circa 920.¹
     GAV-28. Einar I (Turf-Einar) (?) Jarl of Orkney was also known as Turf-Einar (?) Earl of Orkney.² He was Earl of Orkney: [Ashley, pp. 441-442] EINAR (I) earl of Orkney c894-?920. He was known as Torf-Einar because he introduced turf as a fuel to the islanders. He was the brother of the disgraced HALLAD who had been unable to control the Danish pirates in the western seas. Einar pleaded with his father to let him have the responsibility. He was given one longship and crew. He sailed first to the Shetlands to recruit more men and then advanced on the leaders of the Danish Vikings, Thori Treebeard and Kalf Skurfa, whom he killed, regaining control of the Orkneys. Soon after the Orkneys were invaded by Halfdan Haaleg, the son of the Norwegian king. Halfdan had already killed Einar's father, RAGNALD, and seemed intent on wiping out Ragnald's family. Einar escaped but conducted a surprise raid and captured Halfdan, whom he killed by carving an eagle shape out of his body in revenge for the death of his father. He sacrificed the remains to Odin. Harald Finehair brought his fleet to the Orkneys and exacted compensation from Einar for the death of his son, but he allowed him to retain his title as earl of Orkney. Although Einar is described as ugly, with one blind eye, he was remembered as a strong leader who protected his islanders, though in return confiscated their independent tenure and treated them as tenants. He apparently ruled much of the territory conquered by SIGURD and THORSTEIN, which included Caithness and Sutherland and parts of Ross. The date of his death is not recorded, though the sagas note that he ruled for a long time and died of a sickness. Allowing for the ages of his sons to succeed him he must have ruled to at least the year 920 or even later. between 894 and 920.¹
