Notes:
Also called Donald of Ile, Yle, Islay. Lord of the Isles. Earl of Ross.
"As Lord of the Isles he dealt as a sovereign power with England, and was reckoned an ally by both England and France. In right of his wife he claimed the Earldom of Ross. The details of his claim are not known; nor is it known whether, in his expedition in 1411, he was invading Scotland as a foreign enemy, or as claimant to the Earldom. When he set out from Inverness in that year, his force was composed of men of the Isles and of Ross (the latter returned to his obedience); and he was undoubtedly in possession of Dingwall Castle, the chief seat of the Earldom. He was defeated at Harlaw in the Garioch, 24 July 1411, in one of Scotland's bloodiest battles. Donald ?ed; the Regent took possession of Dingwall, and in the following year exacted hostages at Polgylbe (Lochgilp) for the keeping of the peace."
