Note 244 — THE BOOK OF THE DEAN OF LISMORE. (continued 2)

In 1480, William Macleod of Dunvegan was killed at the battle of the Bloody Bay, and was succeeded by his son Alexander, usually called “Alastair Crotach,” or hump-backed (Greg. High. p. 74). The charters give no information as to John, if a son of this William Macleod. But William’s father was John, whose father was also in all likelihood a William; and this John, whose floreat was early in the fifteenth century, might be the person here meant.
