| 701 | Known to be a descendant from Gilleoin of Aird The name MacKenzie (MacCoinneach in Gaelic) means literally Son of Kenneth. The original Kenneth lived in the 13th Century and was descended from Gilleon Og, a younger son of Gilleon nah-airde (Gill eon of the Aird). From this Gilleon the once powerful Earls of Ross can be traced. This Kenneth that the MacKenzies claim descent from was known as Murdo Fillius Kennethde Kintail who was granted charter by King David II in 1362. Prior to the en d of the 15th century, the Mackenzies were followers of the MacDonalds, Lord of the Isles. However, after the forfeiture of the Lordship in 1493, the Mackenzies increased their power, gaining large possessions in Ross-shire.

| 702 | Labhraidh is said to have had the ears of a horse. So much was his embarrassment that he had his hair cut only once a year and immediately slew the barber lest his secret became known. One year he selected a youth to cut his hair, who so entreat ed the king not to kill him that Labhraidh spared his life on condition that he never reveal the secret. The stress of keeping the king's secret so troubled the boy that he fell ill. His mother sent for a druid whose wisdom was such that he wa s able to determine that the cause of the illness was a terrible secret that could not be told. He told the boy to go to a deep wood and whisper the secret to a tree in order to relieve himself of the burdon. This the boy did and immediately fel t better. Some time later, a famous harper felled the tree to create a new harp for himself. Summoned to court, when asked to play a tune for the king, instead of notes, the harp sang "King Labhraidh has horses' ears" and the secret was out. | King of Ireland Labraid Longsech (I4395)
