| He was kept in close confinement by the family of Argyll almost all his life. On two occasions he escaped from their custody, and assuming the titles of Earl of Ross and Lord of the Isles, made an attempt in 1503, and again in 1545, supported on both occasions by the vassals of the Isles, to obtain the restoration of the family dignities and inheritance, but without success. He died at Drogheda in 1545, leaving a son, of whom no more is heard.4 | ||
