  • CHAPTER 3 Kenneth of the Nose, Chief 1338—1350. the Next Chief
    CHAPTER 3 Kenneth of the Nose, Chief 1338—1350. The next chief, after Ian Murdoch, was another Kenneth, Coinneach na Sroine, or Kenneth of the Nose, so called because of the large size of his nose. This Kenneth married Fionnaghal, a daughter of Torquil Macleod of Lewis and his wife Dorothea, who was a daughter of the Earl of Ross. If the Mackenzies had ever previously owned the lands of Kintail, by 1342 they were certainly, once again, back in the hands of the Earl of Ross, for William, the fifth earl, granted a charter of “the ten davachs of Kintail” to Reginald, son of Roderick of the Isles. This charter was confirmed by King David II in 1344. This also suggests that perhaps the Mackenzies had not always supported the king. Around this time the Mackenzies living in the western part of Ross became involved in a battle with the Earl of Ross who raided Kenlochewe, carrying off spoils. He was supported by clan Munro and the Dingwalls. Kenneth pursued the raiders recovering the spoils and killing some of the insurgents. The Earl was displeased by this affront to his dignity and power and set out to correct this matter once and for all by showing the populace who was boss. He successfully hunted down the luckless Kenneth and captured him. He further demonstrated his supreme power in the Western Highlands by having the Mackenzie chief executed at Inverness. So much for the descendant of King John! William followed up by granting the Mackenzie lands of Kenlochewe to Leod MacGilleandreis, who was instrumental in Kenneth's capture.
