!SOURCE: George Crawfurd, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1716, p. 229ff. This AEngus, as his Father and Grand-father had done, entred himself a Brother in the Convent of Paisley, for which he gave the House Dimidiam Marcam argenti de Domo sua propria & de singulis domibus per omnes terras suas de quibus sumus exit unum denarium singulis Annis in perpetuum in puram Eleemosynam. Moreover, he gave to the same Monastery the Patronage of the Church of Kilkeran in Kintyre, Pro salute animae Domini sui Alexandri illustris Regis Scotiae & Alexandri filii ejus, etiam pro salute sua propria & haeredum suorum (Charta Mortif. AEngusii filii Dovenaldi Ecclesiae de Kelkeran Abbati & Conventui de Paslet in Chartulario Dicti Monasterii in mea Custodia per favorem Nobilissimi Comitis Joannis Comitis de Dundonald. During the reign of Alexander III this great Person deported himself very loyall y and dutifully to the Crown, and when that King came to settle the Succession of his Grandchild Margaret of Norway. He was one of the Primores Regni, Prime Nobles, who swore that htey would faithfully adhere to and defend her Title, to which he set his Seal in a solemn Assembly held in the Year 1284 for that effect. He died not long after this, leaving two Sons, Alexander, and John of whom the Clan Ean of Ardnamurchan and its Branches are sprung.

!BIOGRAPHY: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, Bart., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Vol. 2, Second Edition, John Philip Wood, Esq., Editor, Edinburgh, 1813, p. 6. IV. Angus, the eldest son, was the first of his race who acknowledged himself a subject of the Kings of Scotland. He made a donation to the convent of Paisley, of half a mark of silver de domo suo proprio, et de singulis domibus per omnes terras suas de quibus fumum exit unum denarium, singulis annis in perpetuum, in puram elemosynam. Moreover, he gave to the same monastery the patronage of the church of Kilkerran, in Kintyre, pro salute animae DOMINI SUI Alexandri Regis Scoticae illustris, et Alexandri, filii ejus, etiam pro salute sua propria et heredum suorum. AEngus, filius Dovenaldi, was one of the scotish nobles who, in 1284, became bound to support the title of Margaret of Norway to the throne of Scotland, in the event of the demise of King Alexander III. A letter was addressed, in 1292, to Anegus, the son of Dovenald of the Isles, and Alexander, his eldest son, respecting their comporting themselves well and faithfully towards the King of England. Angus died soon afterwards, leaving three sons.
