• Notes

  Gille Domnan has been elsewhere shown as Gille Adomnan = "servant of Adam". Stirnet.com wrongly corrupts his name to be "Orila Dumnan" -- probably a transcription error. Gille Domnan succeeded Marcus as King of the Isles, but it is not certain that he was actually the son of Marcus. Marcus was defeated by the Scandinavians and was expelled to Ireland where he is believed to have died. His grandson, Somerled, reclaimed the Isles in 1140 and founded the dynasty of the Lords of the Isles.
