To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
-^ Ibid. X Introduction Aíac Donnells came to Ireland about the same period, namely, the middle of the thirteenth century; second, the two families came from the same region, the district of Argyll and the western isles of Scotland; third, both followed the profession of soldiering, being constables or captains of gallóglaig, or ' Norse warriors. ' Mac Neill has shown ^^ from the Scandinavian sagas that the Mac Donnells were of Norse descent, and it seems deducible from the facts just stated th...at the Mac Sweeney s derived from a similar origin. This is all the more likely as other families, like the Mac CabeS' and the Mac Leods of Harris, who came to Ireland later in the same capacity, claimed descent from Scandinavian peoples. ^5 The Mac Donnells were subsequently linked up in awkward and unconvincing fashion with the Oriel or native family of the same name, and the Mac Sweeneys. Were provided with an Irish pedigree by con- necting- them wnth the O Néills. § 2. Mac SuibJine Fánad.
