Raghnall Mac Ruaidhrí (died October 1346) was an eminent Scottish magnate and chief of Clann Ruaidhrí.[note 2] Raghnall's father, Ruaidhrí Mac Ruaidhrí, appears to have been slain in 1318, at a time when Raghnall may have been under age. Ruaidhrí himself appears to have faced resistance over the Clann Ruaidhrí lordship from his sister, Cairistíona, wife Donnchadh, son of the Earl of Mar. Following Ruaidhrí's demise, there is evidence indicating that Cairistíona and her powerful confederates also posed a threat to the young Raghnall. Nevertheless, Raghnall eventually succeeded to his father, and first appears on record in 1337.

Raghnall's possession of his family's expansive ancestral territories in the Hebrides and West Highlands put him in conflict with the neighbouring magnate William III, Earl of Ross, and contention between the two probably contributed to Raghnall's assassination at the hands of the earl's adherents in 1346. Following his death, the Clann Ruaidhrí territories passed through his sister, Áine, into the possession of her husband, the chief of Clann Domhnaill, Eóin Mac Domhnaill, resulting in the latter's consolidation of power in the Hebrides as Lord of the Isles.

Locations relating to the life and times of Raghnall.

Raghnall was an illegitimate son of Ruaidhrí Mac Ruaidhrí (died 1318?),[9] grandson of the eponymous ancestor of Clann Ruaidhrí.[10] The identity of Raghnall's mother is unknown.[9] Raghnall's father controlled a provincial lordship which encompassed the mainland territories of Moidart, Arisaig, Morar, and Knoydart; and the island territories of Rhum, Eigg, Barra, St Kilda, and Uist.[9] This dominion, like the great lordships of Annandale and Galloway, was comparable to the kingdom's thirteen earldoms.[11] There is reason to suspect that the rights to the family's territories were contested after Ruaidhrí's death.[12] In fact, Ruaidhrí himself was illegitimate, and only gained formal control of the lordship after his legitimate half-sister, Cairistíona (fl. 1290–1318), resigned her rights to him at some point during the reign of Robert I, King of Scotland (died 1329).[13][note 3]

Raghnall's father appears to be identical to the Clann Ruaidhrí dynast, styled "King of the Hebrides", who lost his life in the service of the Bruce campaign in Ireland in 1318.[17] At the time, Raghnall may well have been under age, and it is apparent that Cairistíona and her confederates again attempted to seize control of the inheritance.[18] Although she is recorded to have resigned her claimed rights to a certain Artúr Caimbéal at some point after Ruaidhrí's death,[19] it is clear that Raghnall succeeded in securing the region, and was regarded as the chief of Clann Ruaidhrí by most of his kin.[20]

File:Robert I, King of Scotland (seal).png
Seal of Robert I, King of Scotland,[21] a monarch who partly owed his survival to efforts of Raghnall's aunt, Cairistíona Nic Ruaidhrí. The king may have forfeited Raghnall in 1325 after Cairistíona attempted to deny Raghnall his inheritance.

In 1325, a certain "Roderici de Ylay" suffered the forfeiture of his possessions by Robert I.[22] Although this record could refer to a member of Clann Ruaidhrí, and evidence the contrast of relations between Clann Ruaidhrí and the Scottish Crown in the 1320s and 1330s,[23] another possibility is that the individual actually refers to a member of Clann Domhnaill.[24] If this indeed refers to a member of the former family, the man in question may well have been Raghnall himself. If so, it is conceivable that his forfeiture is related to Cairistíona's aforesaid attempt to alienate the Clann Ruaidhrí estate from her nephew and transfer it into the clutches of the Caimbéalaigh kindred.[25] Alternately, the forfeiture could have been ratified in response to undesirable Clann Ruaidhrí expansion into certain neighbouring regions, such as the former territories of the disinherited Clann Dubhghaill.[26]

Although Cairistíona's charter is undated,[27] it may well date to just before the forfeiture.[28][note 4] The list of witnesses who attested this grant is remarkable, and may well reveal that the charter had royal approval.[30] The witnesses include: John Menteith, Domhnall Caimbéal, Alasdair Mac Neachdainn, Eóghan Mac Ìomhair, Donnchadh Caimbéal (son of Tomás Caimbéal), Niall Mac Gille Eóin, and (the latter's brother) Domhnall Mac Gille Eóin. These men all seem to have been close adherents of Robert I against Clann Dubhghaill, and all represented families of power along the western seaboard. An alliance of such men may well have been an intimidating prospect to the Clann Ruaidhrí leadership.[31] In fact, the forfeiture may well have been personally reinforced by Robert I, as the king seems to have travelled to Tarbert Castle—a royal stronghold in Kintyre—within the same year.[32][note 5]

Unlike the First War of Scottish Independence, in which Clann Ruaidhrí participated, Raghnall and his family are not known to have taken part in the second war (from 1332–41).[35] In fact, Raghnall certainly appears on record by 1337,[36] when he aided his third cousin, Eóin Mac Domhnaill, Lord of the Isles (died c. 1387), in the latter's efforts to receive a papal dispensation to marry Raghnall's sister, Áine (fl. 1318–50), in 1337.[37][note 6] At the time, Raghnall and Eóin were apparently supporters of Edward Balliol (died 1364),[39] a claimant to the Scottish throne who held power in the realm from 1332 to 1336.[40] By June 1343, however, both Raghnall and Eóin were reconciled with Edward's rival, the reigning son of Robert I, David II, King of Scotland (died 1371),[41] and Raghnall himself was confirmed in the Clann Ruaidhrí lordship by the king.[42][note 7]

At about this time, Raghnall received the rights to Kintail from William III, Earl of Ross (died 1372), a transaction which was confirmed by the king that July.[48] There is reason to suspect that the king's recognition of this grant may have been intended as a regional counterbalance of sorts, since he also diverted the rights to Skye from Eóin to William III.[49] It is also possible that Clann Ruaidhrí power had expanded into the coastal region of Kintail at some point after the death of William III's father in 1333, during a period when William III himself may have been either a minor or exiled from the country. Whatever the case, the earl seems to have had little choice but to relinquish his rights to Kintail to Raghnall.[50] In fact, bitterness between these two magnates appears to be evidenced in dramatic fashion by the assassination of Raghnall and several of his followers, at Elcho Priory in October 1346, at the hands of the earl's adherents.[51] At the time Raghnall had been obeying the king's muster nearby at Perth, in preparation for the Scots' imminent invasion of England. Following the deed, the earl deserted the royal host, and fled to the safety of his domain.[52] What is known of William III's comital career reveals that it was local, rather than national issues, that laid behind the earl's actions. The murder of Raghnall and the earl's desertion—a flight which likely left his king with a substantially smaller fighting-force—is one such example.[53] Although William III was later to pay dearly for this act of disloyalty,[54] the episode itself evidences the earl's determination to deal with the threat of encroachment of Clann Ruaidhrí power into what he regarded as his own domain.[55] Despite this dramatic removal of William III's main rival, the most immediate beneficiary of the killing was Eóin,[56] the aforesaid chief of Clann Domhnaill, a man who was also William III's brother-in-law.[57]

The extent of the Clann Domhnaill Lordship of the Isles in 1343 (yellow). The Clann Ruaidhrí territories (red) were absorbed within this lordship after Raghnall's death in 1346.[58]

Following Raghnall's death, control of the Clann Ruaidhrí estate passed to Eóin by right of his aforesaid wife.[59] Although Áine appears to have been either dead or divorced from Eóin by 1350, the Clann Ruaidhrí territories evidently remained in Eóin's possession after his subsequent marriage to Margaret, daughter of Robert Stewart, Steward of Scotland (died 1390).[60][note 8] David himself died in 1371, and was succeeded by his uncle, the aforesaid Robert Stewart.[64] In 1372, the recently-crowned king confirmed Eóin's rights to the former Clann Ruaidhrí territories.[65] The year after that, Robert II confirmed Eóin's grant of these lands to Raghnall Mac Domhnaill (died 1386)—Eóin and Áine's eldest surviving son[66]—a man apparently named after Raghnall himself.[12][note 9]

Raghnall seems to have had a brother, Eóghan, who received a grant to the thanage of Glen Tilt from the Steward.[69] The transaction appears to date to before 1346,[70] at about the time members of Clann Ruaidhrí were operating as gallowglasses in Ireland.[71] This could in turn indicate that the Steward was using the kindred in a military capacity to extend his own power eastwards into Atholl,[72] where he appears to have also made use of connections with Clann Donnchaidh.[73][note 10] If certain fifteenth-century pedigrees are two be believed, Raghnall had at least one illegitimate son, and his descendants continued to act as leaders of Clann Ruaidhrí.[12][note 11]

Notes

  1. The island the fortress sits upon is first recorded in a charter of Raghnall's aunt, Cairistíona Nic Ruaidhrí. Following Raghnall's death, the site passed to Clann Domhnaill through his sister, Áine (fl. 1318–50), and came to be held by descendants of her son, Raghnall Mac Domhnaill (died 1386), for about four hundred years.[2]
  2. Since the 1980s, academics have accorded Raghnall various patronymic names in English secondary sources: Raghnall Mac Ruaidhri,[3] Ranald MacRuairi,[4] Ranald MacRuari,[5] Ranald Macruairi,[6] Ranald MacRuarie,[7] Ranald MacRuaridh.[8]
  3. Cairistíona's claims to the Clann Ruaidhrí inheritance apparently posed a potential threat to Ruaidhrí and Raghnall. For example, Cairistíona was the wife of Donnchadh, son of Domhnall I, Earl of Mar (died ×1297). The latter's daughter, Iseabail, was in turn the first wife of Robert I; and Domhnall I's son and comital successor, Gartnait (died c. 1302), was the husband of a sister of Robert I. Furthermore, Cairistíona and Donnchadh had a son, Ruaidhrí, who potentially could have sought royal assistance in pursuance of his mother's claims.[14] The fact that the latter was named Ruaidhrí could indicate that he was not only named after his maternal grandfather, but that he was regarded as a potential successor to the Clann Ruaidhrí lordship.[15] Certainly, Cairistíona resigned her claims with the condition that if her aforesaid brother died without a male heir, her like-named son would secure the inheritance.[16]
  4. The fact that she is called a widow, and is not named "of Mar", appears to be evidence that it dates to after her husband's death.[29]
  5. The aforesaid brothers, Niall Mac Gille Eóin and Domhnall Mac Gille Eóin, along with another brother, Eóin Mac Gille Eóin, are associated with the castle at about this time.[33]
  6. Early modern tradition preserved by the History of the MacDonalds, claims that Raghnall's sister (described as "Algive", daughter of "Allan, son of Roderick Macdougall") cohabited with Eóin for nine or ten years.[38]
  7. Although the expansive Clann Ruaidhrí territories are often regarded as a single "Lordship of Garmoran", this title is a modern construct, and the region of Garmoran was actually just one of several mainland territories ruled by the kindred.[43] In fact, the notice of the king's grant of lands to Raghnall in 1343 preserves the earliest instance of the place name ("Garw Morwarne").[44] In 1336, Edward granted Eóin a large swathe of territory in Argyll and the Hebrides for undertaking to oppose Edward's enemies. Specifically, the grant included the islands of Colonsay, Gigha, Islay, (half of) Jura, Lewis and Harris, Mull, Skye, and the mainland territories of Ardnamurchan, Kintyre, Knapdale, and Morvern. This allotment, therefore, included regions formerly held by apparent supporters of David II, Clann Dubhghaill and Clann Ruaidhrí.[45] Whatever the case, the subsequent eclipse of the Balliol regime, and the return of David II to the throne, rendered Eóin's extensive grant redundant.[46]
  8. Negotiations concerning the marriage between Eóin and Margaret may have commenced not long after Raghnall's demise,[61] and could have involved the Steward's recognition of Eóin's continued possession of the Clann Ruaidhrí lands.[62] According to the History of the MacDonalds, Eóin abandoned Áine "by the consent of his council and familiar friends".[63]
  9. The grant of the former Clann Ruaidhrí territories to Raghnall Mac Domhnaill may well have been in compensation for his exclusion from the chiefship of Clann Domhnaill, which fell to the eldest son of Eóin and Margaret, Robert II's aforesaid daughter.[67] Raghnall Mac Domhnaill went on to become the eponymous ancestor of the Clann Raghnaill branch of Clann Domhnaill.[68]
  10. In the Steward's charter, the said Eóghan is merely identified as a brother of Raghnall "of the Isles". Although it is possible that this Eóghan represents yet another son of Eóin, and that this Raghnall represents the aforesaid Raghnall Mac Domhnaill, that fact that the latter was probably only a teenager at the time, coupled with the fact Eóghan is not described as a son of Eóin, suggests that the charter does not concern Clann Domhnaill at all. Certainly, leading members of Clann Ruaidhrí are known to have styled themselves de Insulis.[74] A particular Gaelic ballad concerning the legendary Diarmaid Ó Duibhne may further cast light on Clann Ruaidhrí following Raghnall's death. The poem itself appears to have been composed around Glen Shee in about 1400 by a certain Ailéan Mac Ruaidhrí, a man who could have been a descendant of Eóghan.[75] The Irish version of the poem is centred in Sligo, a region where Clann Ruaidhrí gallowglasses are known to have settled in the fourteenth century.[76]
  11. The fact that Clann Ruaidhrí continued on into later centuries is evidenced by the fifteenth-century executions of Alasdair Mac Ruaidhrí (died 1428) and Eóin Mac Artair (died 1428), chieftains said to have commanded one thousand men apiece.[77] These two may have been continuing a feud that stemmed from Cairistíona's aforesaid contested inheritance and connections with the Caimbéalaigh.[78] The Artúr Caimbéal whom Cairistíona granted the Clann Ruaidhrí lordship was himself the son of another Artúr Caimbéal, a man closely aligned with Robert I.[79]
