  • THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY of Macdhubhsith
    THE MYTHOLOGY, TRADITIONS and HISTORY OF MacDHUBHSITH ― MacDUFFIE CLAN (McAfie, McDuffie, MacFie, MacPhee, Duffy, etc.) VOLUME 2 THE LANDS OF OUR FATHERS PART 2 Earle Douglas MacPhee (1894 - 1982) M.M., M.A., M.Educ., LL.D., D.U.C., D.C.L. Emeritus Dean University of British Columbia This 2009 electronic edition Volume 2 is a scan of the 1975 Volume VII. Dr. MacPhee created Volume VII when he added supplemental data and errata to the original 1792 Volume II. This electronic edition has been amended for the errata noted by Dr. MacPhee. - i - THE LIVES OF OUR FATHERS PREFACE TO VOLUME II In Volume I the author has established the surnames of most of our Clan and has proposed the sources of the peculiar name by which our Gaelic compatriots defined us. In this examination we have examined alternate progenitors of the family. Any reader of Scottish history realizes that Highlanders like to move and like to set up small groups of people in which they can become heads of families or chieftains. This was true in Colonsay and there were almost a dozen areas in Scotland where the clansman and his children regard one of these as 'home'. The writer has tried to define the nature of these homes, and to study their growth. It will take some years to organize comparative material and we have indicated in Chapter III the areas which should require research. In Chapter IV the writer has prepared a list of possible chiefs of the clan over a thousand years. The books on our Clan give very little information on these chiefs but the writer has recorded some probable comments on his chiefship.

Twelve years ago I published a paper in Icelandic1 where I pointed out that the one thing that everybody knows about Laxdæla Saga, Guðrún Ósvífursdóttir’s famous reply to her son “To him I was worst whom I loved most”, appears to echo a line of the well-known Irish poem sometimes known as Líadan’s Lament, an ro carus ro cráidius, ‘whom I loved I harmed.’ Its many Irish connections are a prominent feature of Laxdæla saga, but for some curious reason no one as far as I know had chanced on this correspondence before my essay.2,3 The Líadan poem has been dated as 9th century, and seems to have had some currency in Ireland;4 and there were, as we shall see, Irish speakers in Guðrún’s neighbourhood, so this is not as outrageous as it sounds. 1 The phonetically driven oxymoron Let us examine this correspondence before going any further. 1 Pétur Knútsson, „Þeim var ek verst: Líadan og Cuirithir í Laxdælu.“ Ritið. Timarit Hugvísindastofnunar Háskóla Íslands /2003, 153-162 2 Removed: As far as I know: but since Guðrún’s famous reply is perhaps the thing that everybody knows best about her, an Irish source would hardly have gone unnoticed if it had been found before.

  • Who Was Malcolm, King of the Cumbrians?
    MALCOLM, KING OF THE CUMBRIANS -193- WHO WAS MALCOLM, KING OF THE CUMBRIANS? A STUDY OF THE KINGS OF STRATHCLYDE AND CUMBRIA AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO KING DUBH’S DESCENDANTS IN THE WORK OF FORDUN AND THE EARLY CHRONICLES. By Michael Anne Guido 1 ABSTRACT John of Fordun has been cited as the source of errors on the descendants of King Dubh by supposedly creating Malcolm mac Dubh, his eldest son, stated to be King of the Cumbrians. Was this really a fabrication or a mistake? This article proposes a solution to some of the problems in Fordun’s work by showing that the tanists were actually governors of Strathclyde based on an analysis of the early chronicles. Foundations (2007) 2 (3): 193-213 © Copyright FMG and the author The kingdom of Strathclyde (Fig.1) originated in the 5th century with the rise of many smaller kingdoms after the withdrawal of the Romans from the island of Britain. The inhabitants of Strathclyde were probably descendants of the native people called Damnonii who were first recorded on Ptolemy’s map in the second century2 (MacQuarrie, 1993, p.2; Duncan, 1975, p.17). These Britons were akin to the Welsh3 (MacQuarrie, p.2) and known in the Welsh chronicles as Gwyr y Gogledd (Men of the North). The inhabitants of Strathclyde shared the same root language with Welsh as they spoke Cumbrian which was one of the four dialects of Brythonic Gaelic, the others being Cornish and Breton. These languages form a group called P-Celtic as opposed to Q-Celtic which is the Gaelic language cluster of Irish, Scottish and Manx.

  • 3. the Gaelic World and the Early Stewart Court, Stephen Boardman
    333 The Gaelic World and the Early Stewart Court STEPHEN BOARDMAN It has become something of a commonplace to assert that the mid- to late fourteenth century saw the ‘emergence of the Highlands’ in the sense of an increased awareness within Scotland of the division of the kingdom into distinct Highland and Lowland zones which were differentiated from each other in terms of geography, social structure, lifestyle and, above all, language. One of the most important (and certainly the most-quoted) pieces of evidence for this development is the description of Scotland provided by the historian John of Fordun, whose Chronicle can be dated to the mid-1380s.1 Fordun’s comments have been taken as one of the earliest indications of an increasingly hostile attitude on the part of the Lowland Scot toward the Gael; one of the significant milestones on a path leading toward entrenched cultural antagonism and, eventually, attempts at the systematic persecution of Gaelic society and language. An important assumption in attempts to outline the development of the ‘great ill-will of the lowlander’ is that, from the early twelfth century onward, Scottish monarchs identified themselves and their economic, social and political interests with the English-speaking Lowlands and therefore shared, or latterly even shaped, hostile attitudes toward Gaelic Scotland. This historical model of the Gaels and their language as the victims of deliberate and sustained establishment repression was developed in response to conditions in later periods, when an ambitious, wealthy and aggressive government could and did embark on programmes which were consciously designed to marginalise or extirpate the Gaelic language as a contributory factor to the supposed ‘barbarity’ and lawlessness of the Highlands.

  • Kingship, Lordship, and Resistance: a Study of Power in Eleventh- and Twelfth-Century Ireland
    Trinity College, Dublin School of Histories and Humanities Department of History Kingship, lordship, and resistance: a study of power in eleventh- and twelfth-century Ireland Ronan Joseph Mulhaire Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (2020) Declaration I declare that this thesis has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and it is entirely my own work. I agree to deposit this thesis in the University’s open access institutional repository or allow the Library to do so on my behalf, subject to Irish Copyright Legislation and Trinity College Library conditions of use and acknowledgement. _______________________ RONAN MULHAIRE 2 Summary This thesis starts from the premise that historians of medieval Ireland have interpreted ‘power’ in a very narrow way. As chapter one illustrates, through a review of the historiography of Irish kingship, the discussion of ‘power’ has, hitherto, amounted to a conversation about the ways in which the power of the greater Irish kings grew over the course of the eleventh and twelfth centuries (at the expense of the lesser kings). Engaging with the rich corpus of international literature on power, as is done in chapter one, reveals the sheer complexity and vicissitudes of ‘power’ as a concept. Many writers and thinkers on the subject have identified resistance as a means through which to view power relations, and it is along these lines that the rest of the thesis runs. Chapters three and four are concerned with the subject of resistance; with regicide and revolt, respectively. Both mine the Irish annals.
