Notes

!SOURCE: George Crawfurd, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1716, p. 229ff. Reginald always design'd filius Sorleti, and promiscously Dominus de Ergyle & Inchegal (Charta fundationis Monasterii de Sandal in publicis Archivis & Chartulario Monasterii Pasletensis.) He was a prodigious Benefactor to the Church, when the Faith of the Age was, That whatever was given to the Church and the Clergy, did not a little Merit with God Almighty, for he founded the Abbey of Sandale within his own Territory of Kntyre for Cistertian Monks (Monasticon Scoticanum penes me MS.), and mortified thereunto the Lands of Glassaddill and Baltebean, together with the Lands of Casken in the Island of Arran (Charta Confirmationis in Rotulis Jacobi IV Davidi Episcopo Lismoren. Abbaciae de Sandal annexatum Episcopatui fuo Anno 1507.): and to the Monastery of Paisly he gave very great and ample Donations that he and Fonia his Wife be entitul'd to all the Privileges of Brotherhood in that Convetn, ando f the whole Rights and Order of Cluny (Chartula Pasletensis penes Comitem de Dundonald.), when or where he passed from this to another Life, does not appear to me; but he left a Son behind him to inherit his Estates, Dovenald.

!SOURCE: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1764?, p. 358ff. II. Reginald, son of Somerled, was also designed king of the Isles; but it does

not appear from our histories, that he gave any disturbance to king William, who succeeded Malcolm, anno 1165, yet he never acknowledged him to be his superior, but entered into a league with the king of England against his country, as an independent prince. He was very liberal in his donations to the religious. He founded and endowed the abbay of Sandale in Kintyre, and is then designed Reginaldus filius Somerledi, insularum rex, &c. He made several other donations to the monastery of Paisley, under the same designation, with the addition of domius de Ergyle et Inchgall. He got a safe conduct from king John, Reginaldo regi insularum, veniendi in Angliam, et ab Anglia redeundi, &c. anno 1206. He afterwards became a liegeman, and subject of the king England, pro toto tempore vitae fuae, anno 1212. By Fonia, his wife, he left issue two sons. 1. Dovenald 2. Roderick, to whom he gave the lands of Kintyre, and in a donation to the abbacy of Sandale, he is designed Rodericus de Kintyre, filius Reginaldi, &c. which is confirmed by a charter under the great seal, anno 1507. He had a son Alan, who was one of the Scotch nobles that bound themselves to stand by, and receive for their queen and sovereign, Margaret, daughter of the king of Norway, failing male issue of king Alexander, &c. anno 1284, and is then designed Alanus filius Rotherici, &c. Reginald was succeeded by his elders son.

!SOURCE: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, Bart., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Vol. 2, Second Edition, John Philip Wood, Esq., Editor, Edinburgh, 1813, p. 5. II. Reginald, son and successor of Somerled, was designed King of Man and the Isles. Reginald, King of Man, was received under the protection of John, King of England, 8th February 1205. John granted a safe conduct to Reginald, King of the Isles, cognato nostro, to come into England, 8th February 1206. Reginald, King of the Isles, became liegeman to King John, against all mortals, and took the oath of fidelity, 16th May 1212. A safe conduct was granted to the King of the Isles, 16th January 1218, to come into England to do homage to King Henry III., and to repair the excesses committed against Henry's subjects, both in England and in Ireland. He founded the Abbey of Sadale, or Sandale, in Kintyre, for monks of the Cistertian order. A charter was granted to the Bishop of Lismore, 1st Janury 1507, confirming two evidents made by Reginald, (the son of Somerled, qui se Regem Insularum nominavit,) Lord of Ergyle and of Kintyre, founder of the monastery of Sagadull, of the lands of Glensagadull, and twelve marks of the lands of Ballebeain, in the Lordship of Kintyre, and of twenty marks of lands of Cosken, in Arran, to the said abbey. He made very ample donations to the monastery of Paisley, that he, dn Fonia his wife, might be entitled to all the privileges of brotherhood in the convent. He had, it is presumed, three sons, 1. Olavus, or Olaus, King of Man and the Isles. A safe conduct was granted to Olavus, King of Man and the Isles, to come into England, 12th April 1228. 2. Dovenald. 3. Roderick, to whom his father gave the lands of Kintyre. The before-mentioned charter to the Bishop of Lismore, in 1507, confirms an evident made by Roderick, son of the said Reginald, Lord of Argyll and Kintyre, to the monastery of Sadale, of the lands of Glentersadull and Ugladull, in the lordship of Kintyre. Alang, filius Rotherici, his son, ws one of the Scotish nobles who, in 1284, bound themselves to acknowledge Margaret of Norway for their sovereign, in the event of the demise of King Alexander III. A charter of the lands of Kintail wias granted to Reginald, son of Roderick de Insulis, by William, Earl of Ross, confirmed 4th July 1342. Reginald, son of Roderic de Insulis, had a charter from King David II. of the island of Ywest, Barre, Egghe, Roumme, and the lands of Mudeworth, Mordhower, Aresayg, and Cundeworth, 12th June 1344.
