Alasdair Ruadh MacIain MacDonald, 12th of Glencoe

Alexander the XII, Chief of the Glencoe MacDonalds, who was later the principal victim in ‘the Glencoe Massacre, which Macaulay characterizes as the foulest crime ever perpetrated by English officials. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massacre_of_Glencoe

He married a daughter of Archibald Macdonald of Keppoch. The records only mention two sons, John and Alexander, who escaped the massacre by flight through the valley and out by the South passage of the Glen.

Alasdair MacIain was killed while trying to rise from his bed by Lt Lindsay and Ensign Lundie but his sons escaped, as initially did his wife. In all, 38 men were murdered either in their homes or as they tried to flee the glen. Another 40 women and children died of exposure after their homes were burned. The first clansman to be killed was Duncan Rankin. He was shot down as he tried to escape by crossing the River Coe near the chief's house.[5] Elsewhere, various members of the two companies found ways of warning their hosts. Two lieutenants, Lt Francis Farquhar and Lt Gilbert Kennedy even broke their swords rather than carry out their orders. They were arrested and imprisoned, but were exonerated, released and later gave evidence for the prosecution against their superior officers.
