The Lords of the Isles.
In 1346, the dominion of most of the Hebrides became
consolidated under John, son of Ronald or Angus Oig, of Islay,
and he assumed the title of "Lord of the Isles." The Lords of
the Isles became substantially independent of the Scottish
crown until the battle of Harlaw, in 1411 (see HARLAW, BATTLE
OF). The lordship was extinguished in 1504 (see SCOTLAND: A.
D. 1502-1504).
