Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod, (27 July 1839 – 5 November 1929) was the 26th chief of ''Clan MacLeod''. ==Biography== Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norman Magnus MACLEOD (XXVI Chief) )〕 was born on 27 July 1839. He was the eldest son of Norman MacLeod of MacLeod (1812–1898), 25th chief of Clan MacLeod and his wife Louisa Barbara St John (1818–1880), only daughter of the 14th Baron St John of Bletso. He was educated at Harrow and in 1858, at the age of 19, was commissioned into the 74th Highlanders, immediately joining the regiment in India. He served as aide de camp to General Sir Hope Grant, Commander in Chief in the Presidency of Madras from 1862 to 1865. He retired from the 74th Highlanders as a Captain in 1872. In 1878, MacLeod of MacLeod was appointed as Political Agent on the Transvaal border at the outbreak of the Zulu War. In 1879, he commanded a Swazi army of, reportedly, 8,000, plus an undetermined number of British officers and (presumably) NCOs, against the Pedis. The Swazi army decisively defeated the Pedis at the Battle of Wulu. MacLeod of MacLeod returned home in 1880 and, upon the death of his father in 1885, succeeded as the 26th Chief of MacLeod.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Norman Magnus MacLeod, Soldier and Chief) )〕 In 1881, MacLeod of MacLeod married Emily Caroline, daughter of Sir Charles Isham, 10th Baronet. They had two daughters, Margaret Louisa and Emily Pauline. He died on 5 November 1929. The MacLeod #4 tartan, commonly known as Macleod hunting tartan, was approved by MacLeod of Macleod in 1910.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tartan Details )〕 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「Norman Magnus MacLeod of MacLeod」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
