Col Ciotach Mac Domhnaill ((英語:Left-handed Col Macdonald)) (1570–1647) was a Scottish adventurer and mercenary of Clan Donald, who became Laird of Colonsay in 1623, by treachery. His name, which means ''left-handed'', was anglicised as Colkitto (Collkitto), and he became a figure of legend. He died aged 77 at Dunyvaig Castle.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dunyvaig Castle )〕 ==Family== He is often confused with his son Alasdair MacColla, who was prominent in the fighting in Western Scotland in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, on the Royalist side. Col Ciotach, a Highland Catholic by birth, but born in Ireland, was able to recruit troops for that war in Ireland; his birthplace is given as Loughlynch, which is in the parish of Billy, County Antrim, mother's name as a local O'Quinn or O'Cahan (O'Kane). He married Mary MacDonald of Sanda; those MacDonalds were also caught up in related fighting from the 1630s onwards, and lost their position as a result of the Dunaverty Massacre. His father's name was Gillespick,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ballycastle Travel Guide )〕 a nephew of Sorley Boy MacDonnell. This family is alluded to in a sonnet of John Milton (Sonnet XI) which has a line referring to three generations: :''()Colkitto or Macdonnel or Galasp.'' Galasp stands in for Gillespie (anglicised name). Properly Col Ciotach can be called ''Coll Mac Gillespick MacDonald'', ''Coll Keitache MacGillespick M'Donald''.〔Variants are numerous: Col-Kitto, Col Ciottoch, Colla Ciotach, Coll Kittogh, Col Kittoch, Colla Ciotach, Coll Kiotach, Coll Keitach, Coll Kittagh.〕 From his marriage with Mary MacDonald of Sanda, they had issue: *Gilleasbuig (Archibald), killed at Dunaverty Castle in 1647. *Aonghus (Angus), killed at Dunaverty Castle in 1647. *Alastair (Alexander), married Elizabeth MacAlister, died at Battle of Knocknanauss in 1647. *Seamus (James) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Col Ciotach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
