They claim Angus MacRory was a son of Somerled. Some sources say he was just called MacRory which doesn't make much sense. T There isn't much to go on. The Chronicle of Mann has: "In the year 1210, Angus, son of Somerled, was killed, with his three sons. In the same year, John, King of Eng land, with a fleet of 50 ships, went to Ireland and subdued it. He sent a part of the army, with an earl of the name of Fulke, to Man. This force in fifteen days devastated nearly the whole island, and receiving hostages returned home. King Reginald, however, and his nobles were absent from Man at the time." John
