Who was Aonghas Mór?
Aonghas Mór, also known as Aonghas a Íle and Aonghas mac Domhnaill, was the son of Domhnall mac Raghnaill, eponymous progenitor of Clan Donald.
Aonghas Mór has been called "the first MacDonald" by one historian, namely because he was the first of the dynasty created by his father to rule Islay. Islay was the centre of the lordship of both Aonghas and his father; and according to a contemporary praise-poem, the realm Aonghas inherited from Domhnall included "every house from Mull to Kintyre".
