The article currently states: "Ruaidhri's ancestors held Garmoran and much of the north-west Scottish coast until the early 14th century, when the MacRuaidhri heiress Christiana married Eoin of Islay, who took Christiana's lands and became the first MacDonald Lord of the Isles.(cited to McDonald, Kingdom of the Isles, p. 189.) I do not have this source, but every one I do have makes Amie mac Ruari John of Islay's first wife and calls her aunt "Christina" rather than "Christiana". Ben MacDui 14:07, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Christiana and Christina are the same names (and its unlikely she ever went by either); variants come from Latin sources which do not have consistent spellings. Yes, two the heiresses have been mixed up here. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 14:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks - I was concerned, given the varying views on Clann Somhairle descent, that I might have had the ill-luck to come upon a minority viewpoint. Ben MacDui 14:36, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
