An t-seachdain sa chaidh, bha mi ag innse dhuibh mun bhanais aig Alasdair III, R矛gh na h-Alba, ann an d脿 cheud deug, caogad 始s a h-aon (1251). Cha robh e ach deich bliadhna a dh鈥檃ois.聽

Bha Eanraig III, R矛gh Shasainn, a鈥� feuchainn ri buaidh a thoirt air riaghladh na h-Alba 鈥� a bha fo th脿naisteachd, no comhairle riaghlaidh. Nuair a bha Alasdair ceithir-deug, dh鈥檃ontaich e ri ballrachd na comhairle a bha a鈥� s脿sachadh Eanraig. Bhiodh an t-aonta sin a鈥� ruith airson seachd bliadhna, gus an robh Alasdair na inbheach aig aois bliadhna air fhichead.

Mus do r脿inig e an aois sin, ge-t脿, chaidh Alasdair agus a bhean, Mairead, air turas a Shasainn airson tadhal air a鈥� ch霉irt r矛oghail. Bhiodh cothrom aig Mairead cuideachd tadhal air a p脿rantan 鈥� an R矛gh agus a鈥� Bhanrigh 鈥� ann am Windsor. Bha Mairead an d霉il leanabh mus do dh鈥檉h脿g i Alba. Sgr矛obh Eanraig litir gu Alasdair, a鈥� gealltainn gum biodh iad uile, agus an leanabh, saor a dhol dhachaigh an d猫idh an turais. Eadhon nam faigheadh Alasdair b脿s, bhiodh an leanabh saor a dhol a dh鈥橝lba.

Dh鈥檉halbh Alasdair dhachaigh, a鈥� f脿gail a mhn脿 ann am Windsor. Rugadh leanabh-nighinne an sin air an ochdamh latha fichead dhen Ghearran, d脿 cheud deug, seasgad 始s a h-aon (1261). Chuireadh Mairead oirre mar ainm.聽

Nuair a r脿inig Alasdair aois bliadhna air fhichead, thuirt e gun robh e a鈥� dol a leantainn air obair athar ann a bhith a鈥� toirt nan Eilean Siar air ais fo smachd C霉irt R矛oghail na h-Alba. Na aghaidh bha R矛gh Nirribhidh, H谩kon IV, a bha airson na h-Eileanan Siar a chumail fo a smachd fh猫in 鈥� a bharrachd air Eilean Mhanainn agus d霉thchannan eile ann an ceann an iar-thuath na h-Alba.

Bha H谩kon am measg nan r矛ghrean a bu chumhachdaiche a bha riamh aig Nirribhidh. Bha e air a bhith air an r矛gh-chathair airson c貌rr is ceathrad bliadhna. Bha cabhlach m貌r, cumhachdach aige. Bha e e貌lach air a鈥� Ph脿p agus air 脤mpire Naomh na R貌imhe, a bharrachd air r矛ghrean is ceannardan air feadh na Roinn E貌rpa.

Ach cha robh Alasdair gann de mhisneachd. Chuir e fios gu H谩kon gun robh e ag iarraidh eileanan taobh siar na h-Alba a bhith fo smachd R矛gh na h-Alba. Dhi霉lt H谩kon an tagradh. Thug Iarla Rois ionnsaigh mharbhtach air coimhearsnachd anns an Eilean Sgitheanach. Bha e ag obair 脿s leth R矛gh Alasdair. Chaidh aithris mun ch霉is gu ruige H谩kon ann am Bergen.

Bha feadhainn eile ag obair 脿s leth Alasdair ann an Earra-Gh脿idheal cuideachd. Dh鈥檉heuch Eanraig, R矛gh Shasainn, ris an d脿 thaobh a thoirt gu r猫ite. Sgr矛obh e gu H谩kon agus Alasdair, ag iarraidh orra gun a dhol gu cogadh.

Ge-t脿, bha a鈥� ch霉is air a dhol ro fhada. Chan e a-mh脿in gun robh Alba a鈥� toirt d霉bhlan do Nirribhidh, aig 脿m nuair a bha an r矛oghachd Lochlannach aig 脿irde a cumhachd, ach bha Alasdair a鈥� toirt d霉bhlan pearsanta do H谩kon cuideachd. Dh鈥櫭瞨daich H谩kon gum biodh cabhlach m貌r, cumhachdach air a chur ri ch猫ile airson ionnsaigh a thoirt air cabhlach na h-Alba.

Thairis air a鈥� gheamhradh ann an d脿 cheud deug, seasgad 始s a dh脿, agus seasgad 始s a tr矛 (1262-3), chaidh an cabhlach Lochlannach a chur ri ch猫ile. Bhiodh e a鈥� coinneachadh ri cabhlach na h-Alba an ceann grunn mh矛osan faisg air an Leargaidh Ghallda.聽

Puing-ch脿nain na Litreach: a鈥� f脿gail a mhn脿 ann am Windsor: leaving his wife in Windsor. The possessive article a works like a definite article (a鈥�) grammatically so the rule of a noun commanded by a verbal noun (a鈥� f脿gail) going into the genitive case fully applies. The genitive singular of bean 鈥�wife鈥� is 尘苍脿 (the word declines irregularly). It is lenited by the possessive masculine third person possessive article (pronoun).

Gn脿thas-cainnt na Litreach: aig aois bliadhna air fhichead: at the age of 21 years.
