Life

[edit]

It states that: Iain Ciar was struck by an arrow. His son, William Cleireach managed to rally his clan and fend off the attackers. Iain Ciar's wife, her illegitimate children, and other women, fled the hostilities in a galley; however, they were blown out to sea and dashed against the rocks which the manuscript describes as being called "the Maidens". Since it WAS his wife, wouldn't her children be legitimate? Any way we can clarify this? Allyson Stephenson (talk) 16:32, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh, I messed this bit up. The manuscript describes them as "his natural daughters". So they were actually his illegitimate children. I'll fix it. Thanks for pointing this out.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 07:56, 28 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maidens

[edit]

Congratulations on the DYK. "Macleod's Maidens" are off the coast of Duirinish and in about the right place for a shipwreck. Haswell-Smith (pp. 176-77) states "They were named to commemorate the drowning of the wife of a a MacLeod chief" - although he declines to say which one. Seems to be confirmed by the arguably less reliable gael.net. Ben MacDui 19:22, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
