Bruce. He was among the first who did engage himself with the Royal Party,
and raised a Body of two thousand Men, and on the Head of them chargedat
teh Battle of Bannockburn agianst the English, with as much Courage and
Gallantry as Man could do, which the venerable Mr. Barber has recorded as
follows.
Angus of Isles, and Boot alswa,
And of the plain Lands, he had mae
Of armed Men a noble Rout,
His Battle stalward was and Stout,
He said the Rear guard he would maw,
And even before him should ga
The Van-Guard, and on either hand
The other Battle should be gang and,
Behind one side a little space,
And the King that behind them was
Should see, whair there was maist miste?
And then relive them with his Banner.
As this illustrious Person had not little share in the Honour of that glorious
Victory, so he continued in his Princes Service with singular Loyalty and
Constancy to the End with all the Disadvantages it was liable to, only out of
Conscience to the justice of the Cause, and Compassion to his bleeding
Country, whcih has derived his Name down to Posterity, as a noble and most
worthy Patriot. By ..... Daughter of ..... his Wife, he had Issue, AEngus Lord
of the Isles, his Son....

VI. Angus, Lord of the Isles, who, after King Robert Bruce was defeated
by the English, hospitably received his Majesty into his castle of
Dunavarty, in August 1306. He fought under the standard of Robert at the
battle of Bannockburn, 1314, when the men of the isles were under the
command of "Syr anguss of Ile and But." Angus de Lyle had charters from
that monarch of Kinbaldein, Arndamurchan, Lochabre, Unrowis, and
Glenogweris. Angus of the Isles had a charter from King David II. of the
isle of Ila, Kintyre, the isle of Gythy, the isle of Dewre, the isle of
Coluynsay, and the twenty-four mark land of Moror, near the lands of
Mule. He had a daughter called Fyngole, as appears from a papal dispensation,
permitting John Stewart, and Fyngole, filia nobilis viri
Angusii de Insulis, to marry, notwithstanding their being within the
fourth degree of consanguinity, dated 19 kal. Februarii 1342; and a son.
