Personal Info
He appears in the Book of Deer as a granter of lands to that Abbey. He is said to have been expelled in 1087, while his mother, his best men, and his treasure and cattle fell into the hands of King Malcolm, and Melsnechtai escaped with difficulty. He then retired from public life, probably into a monastery, as he is recorded to have 'ended his life happily' in 1085, a euphemism for monkhood.3
