of Bronnach, or swag-bellied, on account of his corpulency."

"He did not possess the same war-like character that
distinguished his father. He appears neither to have sought

BIOGRAPHY
6th Chief of the MacLeans
"A History of the Clan MacLean" by J. P. MacLean, page 40.
"He early distinguished himself by daring exploits, and was noted asbeing one of the best swordsmen of his time. He became so celebrated as aswordsman, that many knights who had gained for themselves renown camefrom distant parts to
measure weapons with him."


From Doug Hickling "WARRIORS AND PRIESTS: THE
HISTORY OF THE CLAN MACLEAN 1300-1570, by Nicholas MacLean-Bristol. The depth of the author's research is almost astounding. He shows that Hector Rufus MacLean married Mor--a shortened form of Marion or Mariota(the Latin form)--Campbell. He says that Hector Rufus, or as he callshim Hector Ruadh, was "probably the Hector Macgilleon who on 30 May 1393 obtained papal dispensation to marry Mor, daughter of 'Colin Cambel',despite being within the 3rd and 4th degrees of consanguinity." I think that "Colin Cambel" refers to Sir Colin Campbell of Luchow who married Margaret or Mor or Mariota Campbell. Their daughter Mor would have been named after her mother, her grandmother, and hergreat-grandmother all of whom were named Mor or Mariota or Marion. This Sir Colin would also be about the right age to have a daughter whomatched Hector. I have long thought it unlikely that Hector would havemarried a daughter of Archibald Tyneman 4th Earl of Douglas, because the Earl, having been born about 1370, was a few years younger than Hector,who was born about 1367, so any daughter of the Earl's would have been a full generation younger than Hector. I recommend that you drop the Earl's daughter as the spouse of Hector. With that change, your current gedcom listings for the MacLeans of Duart would be very close to the author's conclusions, at least through Lachlan Og (or Oig, or Org), 5th of Duart, 8th Chief of MacLean. The author's revisions are much more extensive when dealing with the cadet families, but I will let you decide how many of his revisions you want to incorporate and I will understand that you will want to see the book, itself."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lachlan's son, Hector, called Eachann Ruadh nan Cath, that is, Red Hector of the Battles, commanded as lieutenant-general under his uncle, Donald, at the battle of Harlaw in 1411, when he and Sir Alexander Irving of Drum, seeking out each other by their amorial bearings, encountered hand to hand and slew each other; in commemoration of which circumstance, we are told, the Dowart and Drum families were long accustomed to exchange swords. Red Hector of the Battles married a daughter of the Earl of Douglas. His eldest son was taken prisoner at the battle of Harlaw, and detained in captivity a long time by the Earl of Mar. His brother John, at the head of the Macleans, was in the expedition of Donald Balloch, cousin of the Lord of the Isles, in 1431, when the Islesmen ravaged Lochaber, and were encountered at Inverlochy, near Fort William, by the royal forces under the Earls of Caithness and Mar, whom they defeated. In the dissensions which arose between John, the last Lord of the Isles, and his turbulent son, Angus, who, with the island chiefs descended from the original family, complained that his father had made improvident grants of lands to the Macleans and other tribes, Hector Maclean, chief of the clan, and great-grandson of Red Hector of the Battles, took part with the former, and commanded his fleet at the battle of Bloody Bay in 1480, where he was taken prisoner. This Hector was chief of his tribe at the date of the forfeiture of the Lordship of the Isles in 1493, when the clan Gillean, or Clan Lean as it came to be called, was divided into four independent branches, viz, the Macleans of Dowart, the Macleans of Lochbuy, the Macleans of Coll, and the Macleans of Ardgour. Lachlan Maclean was chief of Dowart in 1502, and he and his kinsman, Maclean of Lochbuy, were among the leading men of the Western Isles whom that energetic monarch, James IV, entered into correspondence with, for the purpose of breaking up the confederacy of the Islanders. Nevertheless, on the breaking out of the insurrection under Donald Dubh, in 1503, they were both implicated in it. Lachlan Maclean was forfeited with Cameron of Lochiel, while Maclean of Lochbuy and several others were summoned before parliament, to answer for their treasonable support given to the rebels. In 1505 Maclean of Dowart abandoned the cause of Donald Dubh and submitted to the government; his example was followed by Maclean of Lochbuy and other chiefs; and this had the effect, soon after, of putting an end to the rebellion.
Lachlan Maclean of Dowart was killed at Flodden.

Hector married Marrion \Mariotta Or Mor (of Luchow) Campbell after 30 May 1393. Marrion (daughter of Colin (Sir) Iongantach (of Luchow) Campbell and Mariota\Margaret Campbell) and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

BIOGRAPHY
G. Ross MacKinnon lists him as the 5th Chief of MacLean. J.
P. MacLean "A History of the Clan MacLean" calls him the
1St MacLean of Duard.
See note on brother.
"History of the Western Highlands and Isles of Scotland", by
Donald Gregory, page 69.
"From John and his successor, Donald, as Lords of the Isles, Lauchlan,and his son, Hector, received extensive possessions, both in the Islesand on the mainland."

History of the Clan MacLean by J.P. MacLean - page 39
"This period, which may be denominated the second, probably
begins with the marriage of Lachlan Lubanach with the Lady
Margaret MacDonald, for at that time it is known he came
into possession of territory belonging to the First Lord of
the Isles. Perhaps a clearer and happier choice would fix
it in 1390, when the charter from Donald was secured."
page 38 "There must have been a close relationshiup existing
between the two families prior to this marriage, for Lachlan
was forced to obtain a dispensation for marriage with
Margaret from the Pope."
G. Ross MacKinnon gives 1357 as the date of the marriage.
citing "History of Clan MacLean 1300-1570 Warriors &
Priests" pages 14 and 164.
