Gilhemoire ''(born approximately 1207-8 AD)'' is the progenitor of the Scottish Clan Morrison, and half-brother to Leod, the progenitor of the Scottish Clan Macleod, according to Clan traditions. == Life and family == Gilhemoire ''(alternatively written as; Gillemorrie, Gillemhuire, or Gillemhoire)'' was a natural ''(yet illegitimate — born out of wedlock)'' son of Olaf the Black and Lauon, a kintyre noblewoman. Olaf and Lauon's marriage was not considered legitimate due to their kinship ''(cousins)''. Eventually the marriage was nullified by Bishop Reginald of the Isles, and Gilhemoire was declared illegitimate ''(concerning possible ascension to the Throne of the Isle of Man)''.〔Clan Morrison Society of Australia - ''Clan History'' - http://www.clanmorrison.com.au/clan-history〕 This account is sourced from the Bannatyne Manuscript,〔The Bannatyne Manuscript — http://books.google.com/ebooks?id=f_QKAAAAYAAJ&dq=The%20Bannatyne%20Manuscript&as_brr=5&ei=CAqmTtz2IpvQkASVl7HwCA&source=webstore_bookcard〕 and is verified by the oral traditions of the Clans Morrison and MacLeod. Olaf the Black sired two sons in the Hebrides ''(in addition to at least 3 other sons in Norway)''. The sons were Leod and Gilhemoire, who became the progenitors of the Clans MacLeod and Morrison.〔Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland — The MacLeods (Mac Leoid) - http://www.electricscotland.com/webclans/cairney/130.htm〕 Gilhemoire and Leod were half-brothers, Leod having been born of Christiana ''(daughter of Ferquhar, Earl of Ross)'', Olaf's third wife.〔 : ''"The Morrisons, or Clann Mac Giolla Mhoire, descend from Gillemoire, illegitimate brother of Leod, thirteenth century ancestor of the MacLeods. Their territory lay in the extreme north of Lewis, the Morrrisons being hereditary brieves, or brehon judges, for the whole island."''〔Clans and Families of Ireland and Scotland — The MacLeods (Mac Leoid) - (Electric Scotland )〕 Gilhemoire is noted by the Morrisons of Ness and Harris 〔Origins of Morrison, Morrison Clan History, Scotweb ''(active as of: 10/21/2011)''- http://www.scotweb.co.uk/info/morrison/〕 ''(to the present day)'' as the first of the Morrison Clan, ''(Gaelic: MacGilleMhoire)'' His place of birth has not been established, although most of the line believe Gilhemoire to have been born in The Isle of Lewis ''(The Lewes)''. Gilhemoire married the last heiress ''(unnamed)'' of the Clan Igaa ''(Clan Gow, or Clan Harris)'', thereby acquiring the Castle Phabbay on the Island of Phabbay ''(which borders Harris)''. There was a split in the Clan Morrison, and some of Gilhemoire's descendants remain in this area of Scotland in modern times ''(The Morrisons of Harris)''.〔 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「Gilhemoire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
