CORRECTING THE MISINFORMATION. FORTHCOMING PAPER BY COUNCILLOR IAN MACDONNELL TO HIGH COUNCIL - 2022.

Alaxandair Og was not mentioned in the 1314 Parliament of Cambuskenneth relating to the “statute of disinheritance on those who had died or lived outside the faith and peace of the king." Because he unequivocally never did.

Never has a shred of primary or even credible secondary evidence been produced that shows Alaxandair Og was deposed and forfeited by King Robert I.

The Clan Donald Chief Alaxandair Og, son of Angus Mor, son of Donald was killed in 1299. The "account" of his capture by Edward Bruce and dying in a dungeon is simply untrue. The story of his deposition in 1308 is a falsehood. Alaxandair Og was not killed at Faughart with Edward Bruce in 1318. That was Angus Og. All the sons of Alaxandair Og did not settle in Ireland. That the MacAlisters of Loup, Kintyre, also descend from Alaxandair Og "is certainly correct." The pivotal Clan Donald MacAlasandair Abbots of Iona and Saddell abbeys are the first identifiable MacAlisters descended from Chief Alaxandair Og (not uncle Alaster Mor).

This paper argues that:

1. The Clan Donald Chief Alaxandair Og, son of Angus Mor, son of Donald was killed in 1299.

2. The "account" of his capture by Edward Bruce and dying in a dungeon in 1308 is simply untrue.

3. The story of his deposition in 1308 is a falsehood.

4. Alaxandair Og was not killed at Faughart with Edward Bruce in 1318.

5. All the sons of Alaxandair Og did not settle in Ireland.

6. MacAlisters of Loup, Kintyre, also descend from Alaxandair Og "is certainly correct."

7. The pivotal Clan Donald MacAlasandair Abbots of Iona and Saddell abbeys are the first identifiable MacAlisters descended from Chief Alaxandair Og (not uncle Alaster Mor). One of the paper's aims is to secure and protect this lineage from being usurped for any other pedigree.

8. "Clann Alaxandair (Og)" is an armigerous branch of Clan Donald and can be matriculated in Scotland.

The paper provides additional facts, new analysis and opinions relating to the above eight statements.

It attempts to nullify more than a century of inaccurate history of the type above, written by two highly regarded churchmen and respected authors, which has been reworked and repeated countless times making it all seem undeniable fact. And there is a proliferation of amateur websites that regurgitate (copy/paste) the same story. This cannot be done with a few words or lines. It can only be done with academic discipline, extensive "best evidence" proving what are the primary sources and the ultimate facts, setting forth extensive, fully referenced analysis with clear, unequivocal explanations.

These issues have been a bone of contention for historians for centuries and specifically numbers six to eight for the Court of Lord Lyon since 1846/7.

They are complex, difficult to disentangle, disputed, contested and have been made worse by the long passage of time. All of the issues above have not been fully addressed before as an integrated whole with only individual parts mentioned briefly in works covering much longer periods (understandably).
