Biography[]
Lochlann was born in Galloway, Scotland in 1164, the son of Uhtred of Galloway and the nephew of Gille Brigte of Galloway. He succeeded his father as Lord of Galloway in 1174, and, after the death of his uncle in 1185, he seized the land of Gille Brigte's heirs. This disinherited Gille Brigte's son Donnchadh, who was a captive of King Henry II of England, making him a worthless hostage and enraging Henry. Henry proceeded to lead an army to the Scottish border and intimidated Lochlann into giving Donnchadh control of Carrick. Lochlann became Constable of the Kingdom of Scotland, and he defeated the MacWilliam clan at Mam Garvia, near Dingwall, after they rebelled against King William the Lion. He welcomed French and English colonization of his eastern lands, and he died on 12 December 1200.
