I've just had a few discussions with the authors of the new transcript of MS. 1467 and someone (I don't know who) pointed out that the last name in the Lamont pedigree may be Nial glundubh. The author admits the possibility, indeed, even likelihood, since the manuscript is notoriously difficult to read. I of course threw in my two cents worth and came up with a comparison of the two pedigrees as follows: Anradan---------------------------------------------Anradan Aedha athlamhain------------------------------- Flaithbertaigh an trostain--------------------Flaitbertag mc Constantine? Muircertaigh mhidhigh------------------------Muirdaigh Domhnaill arda macha -----------------------Domnaill mic Gillacrist Muircertaigh na ccocal ccroicenn--------Murachaidh ie Gilladubh Nial glundubh------------------------------------Nial guirm The only item possibly missing here is Aodh Athlaman who appears in all other versions of the pedigree including Ballymote and Lecan. The correct reading is still under investigation by the author and others but it appears the Nial guirm Abbot of Iona reference may be yet another bad reading. I tried reading the text myself and got nowhere with it. If anyone wants to take a stab at it themselves have at it. If this turns out to be correct (and I think it will be verified or at least agreed on shortly) then we are back to the same old Anradan kindred business of prior years (except I will lose one argument against it). That doesn't both me because there are many others. John
