Family history Clan Chief of Glencoe

Clan Chief of Glencoe

Die MacDonalds von Glencoe sind auf Gälisch als Clann Iain Abrach oder MacIains bekannt. Ihre Geschichte führt zu Iain Fraoch, „John von der Heide“, einem jüngeren Sohn Angus Óg MacDonalds von Islay. Angus unterstützte Robert the Bruce und kämpfte 1314 bei Bannockburn. Im frühen 14. Jahrhundert erhielt Iain Glencoe; seine Nachkommen führten dort über viele Generationen den Clan.

Das schmale, von hohen Bergen umgebene Tal prägte ihre Gemeinschaft. Die MacIains lebten in kleinen Siedlungen, hielten schwarze Rinder, bewirtschafteten die Hänge und pflegten die gälische Sprache. Der Chief war nicht nur Heerführer, sondern auch Vermittler, Gastgeber und Beschützer. Als Zweig des Clan Donald wahrten die Glencoe-MacDonalds zugleich eine ausgeprägte Eigenständigkeit. Bündnisse, Fehden und Viehzüge gehörten zur Welt der westlichen Highlands.

Im späten 17. Jahrhundert hielt Chief Alasdair Ruadh MacIain zu König Jakob VII. Nach dessen Absetzung sollte er Wilhelm III. bis Neujahr 1692 Treue schwören. Wegen schwieriger Winterreisen und einer Fahrt zum falschen Amt nahm der zuständige Sheriff seinen Eid erst am 6. Januar entgegen. Obwohl MacIain damit seine Bereitschaft gezeigt hatte, nutzten Regierungsbeamte die Verspätung als Vorwand.

Am 13. Februar 1692 griffen Soldaten, die fast zwei Wochen als Gäste im Tal gelebt hatten, ihre Gastgeber an. Chief Alasdair, seine Frau und zahlreiche Angehörige der Gemeinschaft verloren ihr Leben; viele Menschen konnten in die Berge entkommen. Eine parlamentarische Untersuchung bezeichnete das Geschehen später als „murder under trust“, als Mord unter gebrochenem Gastrecht.

Die Familie und ihre Nachkommen bewahrten dennoch Namen, Überlieferung und Zugehörigkeit zu Clan Donald. Das 1883 errichtete Denkmal in Glencoe erinnert an Chief MacIain und die Bewohner des Tals. Archäologische Forschungen, eine rekonstruierte Torfhütte und weltweite Clanverbindungen erzählen heute auch vom Alltag, der Kultur und der Widerstandskraft des Clann Iain Abrach.

Family coat of arms Clan Chief of Glencoe

Das Wappen folgt der westhochschottischen Heraldik der MacIains von Glencoe als Zweig des Clan Donald.

Geviert: eins in Silber ein roter Löwe; zwei in Gold eine rote Hand mit rotem Kreuzsteckkreuz; drei in Gold eine schwarze Hochlandgaleere; vier in Grün ein silberner Lachs. Über dem Helm eine gerüstete Hand mit schwarzem Sgian Dubh innerhalb eines offenen grünen Lorbeerkranzes.

Die MacIains waren der Glencoe-Zweig des Clan Donald. Galeere und Kreuzhand verweisen auf die Lords of the Isles; die Dolchhand ist als Glencoe-Helmzier überliefert.
