Notes

!SOURCE: George Crawfurd, Esq., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Edinburgh, 1716, p. 229ff. Alexander Lord of the Isles (I find this Alexander designed Filius & haeres AEngusii Donaldi de Insulis, in a Confirmation by him to the Monks of Paisley, of the Patronage of the Church of St. Querran, recorded in the Register of that Abbey.), whom I have found entitul'd Alexander de Insulis Scotiae filius AEngusii filii Dovenaldi, in a Commission directed to him for keeping the Peace within his Bounds of the Isles, after the Death of Queen Margaret, Anno Dom. 1292 (Mr. Rymer's Foedera Angliae.), and was one of the Loyal Barons who declared he would own the Title of whatever Person should be abjudged to have the nearest Right in Blood to the deceast Alexander III. Accordingly, when the Crown was decreed to John de Baliol, he owned his Title, submitted to his Authority, and stood by him as long as that unworthy Prince could think any honest Scots Man was bound to adhere to him. As he was a most loyal, so he seems to have been a very Devout Man, according to the Piety of the Time, for he ratified to the Monks of Sandal the Donations and Concessions of his Ancestors, adding also several more of his own to that Convent for the ordinary Performances that Gifts were then given to the Church for; (Memorial of the Mackdonalds, in the hands of Sir Donald Mackdonald of Slate.) and to the Abbacy of Paisly he ratified his Father's Grant of the Church of Kilkeran, t o which he appends his own Seal, together with the Seals of Laurence Bishop of Argyle, and Robert Bruce Earl of Carrick, for the more sure Verification of his Deed (Register of the Abbey of Paisly.). He made his Exit out of this Life in the 1303, and was succeeded by AEngus More, his Son.

!BIOGRAPHY: Sir Robert Douglas of Glenbervie, Bart., THE PEERAGE OF SCOTLAND, Vol. 2, Second Edition, John Philip Wood, Esq., Editor, Edinburgh, 1813, p. 6. V. Alexander, Lord of the Isles, the eldest son, is designed Alexander de Insulis Scotiae, filius Angusii, filius Dovenaldi, in a letter directed to him for keeping the peace within his bounds of the Isles, till the meeting of the parliament of Scotland on the day of St Thomas the Martyr, 1292. He is also designed in the same manner in a confirmation of the donation of the church of Kilkerran to the monastery of Paisley, to which Robert, Earl of Carrick, and Robert Bruce, his son and heir, were witnesses. He died 1303, leaving a son.
