~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

. He fought at Bannockburn in 1314. Angus Og's grandson, Donald, the 8th Lord of the Isles, married the heiress of the Earldom of Ross and in 1411 fought the Battle of Harlaw to keep his wife's inheritance from being usurped by the Regent Duke of Albany. His army of 10,000 men included the forces of almost every clan of the Highlands and Isles. All these clans were willing vassals of the Lord of the Isles. They regarded the MacDonald Chiefs as the heads of the ancient "Race of Conn," and lineal heirs of the ancient Kings of the Dalriadic Scots,going back to the 6th century and beyond.

On a small island just off the coastline of the Isle of Skye, and near Castle Uisdean, lie the bodies of three Crusader Knights. What a strange and foreign place to bury Knights who fought predominately in the Middle East, unless of course they were Templar Knights living out their final days in the land of Angus Og McDonald. The theory then, is that Robert the Bruce, the Clan Donald of Angus Og, and the Knights Templar joined forces in driving out the English at Bannockburn. The Knights had spent years studying battle and passed this knowledge on to the troops at Bannockburn most of which were under Angus Og. Were the Templars, in fact, the source of the name "young foreign warriors"?

From Wikipedia.com

Angus Og of Islay (d. c. 1316) was a significant figure in the Wars of Scottish Independence.

He was Lord of Islay, head of Clan Donald (or MacDonald), son of Angus Mor (the elder - Og means younger) Macdonald and a grandson of the Donald who gave his name to the clan, who was a grandson of Somerled.

He supported King Robert I of Scotland, and fought at the Battle of Bannockburn. The king gave him lands, an important step in the rise of Clan Donald at the expense of Clan MacDougall.

Biography

Angus Og Macdonald, Aonghais Og Mac Dhòmhanaill, was the son of Angus Mòr, Lord of Islay. He succeeded his brother Alexander in 1308 as chief of the Clan Donald also known as Clan Colla.

At the start of the War of Independence Angus Og supported the English interest, but before long he came to follow Robert the Bruce. Angus Og fought at the battle of Bannockburn [1], June 24, 1314. He and his men, numbering 5000+ were under the direct command of the king and were held in reserve until the appropriate moment.

Angus previously controlled Islay and Kintyre and, for his service and support, the Bruce additionally bestowed the islands of Mull, Jura, Coll and Tiree, and the districts of Glencoe and Morvern. Lochaber, which was in the possession of the Comyns was forfeited and divided between Angus Og and Roderick MacRuari. Angus Og remained a stalwart supporter of King Robert.

He was married to Agnes, daughter of Guy O'Cahan of Ulster, by whom he had John, known as "the good John of Isla", his successor.

He had another son, John, known as Iain Fraoch, progenitor of the family of Glenco, and who is alleged by the seanachies to have been illegitimate. The mother of this John was a daughter of Dougall MacHenry, a leading man in Glenco.[1] [2]

Angus Og MacDonald, Lord of the Isles d 1329-30 The MacDonalds fought with Robert the Bruce at the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314. It was Donald's great grandson, Angus Og of Islay who was the 6th Lord of the Isles who sheltered King Robert the Bruce. Angus led a small band of Islesmen at the Battle of Bannockburn. In recognition of Clan Donalds support King Robert the Bruce proclaimed that Clan Donald would always occupy the honored position on the right wing of the Scottish army.

Notes ◦1 - Angus was the younger son of Angus Mor. After the death of his less loyal elder brother he had been awarded Morvern and Ardnamurchan, the islands of Mull, Coll, Tiree and part of the former Comyn lands in Lochaber being at the same time confirmed in the possession of Islay, Jura, Gigha and Colonsay. Angus Og fought for Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn and thus gained the Lordship of Lorne from MacDougall, including Glencoe .

His bastard-son Iain Og nan Fraoch (Young John of the Heather), also called Iain Brach (John of Lochaber), was progenitor of the MacIains , the Macdonalds of Glencoe . His daughter Fingola married John Stewart.

Angus did not marry the daughter of Dugall MacEanruig (the chief man of Glencoe) but had a natural son by her.

2 - Angus had two sons, Alexander and Angus Og (ie, the younger). Alexander joined the Lord of Lorn in his opposition to the claims of Robert Bruce, suffered with his defeat and was obliged to surrender to the king. His whole possessions were forfeited, and given to his brother, Angus Og, who had attached himself to the party of Bruce. It was he who sheltered the Bruce at the lowest ebb of his career. Later, leading a small band of Islemen, Angus Og was instrumental in Bruce's defeat of the English at Bannockburn. This battle won independence for Scotland. In recognition of Clan Donald's part in the victory, Robert the Bruce proclaimed that Clan Donald would forever occupy the honored position on the right wing of the Scottish Army. The Bruce bestowed upon Angus the lordship of Lochaber, which had belonged to the Comyns, together with the lands of Durrour and Glencoe, and the islands of Mull, Tyree, &c., which had formed part of the possessions of the family of Lorn. Angus erected a castle or fort at Tarbat in Kintyre, a condition of the grants allowed. He died early in the fourteenth century, leaving two sons, John his successor, and John Og, the ancestor of the Macdonalds of Glencoe.

Notes: Discovering Deep Forgotten Wisdom Aengus Óg Overview: Aengus Og son of the Daghda and Bionn (Goddess of the River Boyne) is the love god of Irish Mythology. Aengus means ‘true vigour’. Aengus Og, God of Love: Four bright birds hovered over his head. The birds represented his kisses. He brought love singing into the hearts of any a maiden and youth. Stories of Aengus Og: A spell cast by the Daghda caused Aengus Og to be both conceived and born on the same day, hence he is known as the archetypal youth. According to the myth of Diarmuid and Grainne, Aengus Og was Diarmuid’s guardian from the Tuatha. He offered the safety of his protective cloak to both Diarmuid and Grainne in their attempt to escape Finn and his men. He advised them on which path to follow on their journey and also presented Diarmuid with a gift of a sword. Aengus fell in love with awoman he had seen in a dream. He asked Bionn and the Daghda for help. The Daghda called for aid from Bov the Red (from the Children of Lir). Bov undertook a search that lasted one year and declared that he found her by the Lake of the Dragons Mouth. When they went to the lake they saw one hundred and fifty maidens tied in pairs with gold chains. But Aengus knew his lady because she was taller than the rest. Her name was Caer, daughter of Ethel. But Ethel would not let his daughter go. Aengus lamented that he was not strong enough to carry her off. Bov sought the help of Meadbh and Ailill of Connaught, but Ethel refused again. However with the combined powers Ailill and the Daghda they took Ethel prisoner. When they demanded Caer again he confessed that he did not comply for ‘she is more powerful than I’. He explained that she lived alternatively in the form of a maiden and a swan ‘and on the first day of November next she will be seen with a hundred and fifty other swans at the Lake of the Dragons Mouth’. Aengus went to the Lake and told Caer of his love for her. He was transformed in to a swan and the lovers flew to the palace on the Boyne accompanied by a music so divine that it lulled many hearers to sleep for three days and three nights. Conclusion: Aengus Og is a patron of young lovers. He helps them to get over the obstacles in front of them. Source: http://www.bardmythologies.com

Angus Og appears at the outset of the War of Independence as attached to the English interest, but before long became a strenuous supporter of the Bruce, and did yeoman service in the final struggle at Bannockburn.
He married Agnes, daughter of Guy O'Cahan of Ulster, by whom he had:
1. John, his successor.

He had another son, John, known as Iain Fraoch, progenitor of the family of Glenco, and who is alleged by the seanachies to have been illegitimate. The mother of this John was a daughter of Dougall MacHenry, a leading man in Glenco.
