13h 19min, mar 28, 1164 y - Battle of Renfrew
Description:
Upon the death of his father and elder step brother Dougall inherited his father's mainland kingdom from Morvern in the north to part of Knapdale in the south, along with the islands of Jura, Coll, Mull, Tiree, Kerrera, and the surrounding smaller isles.
This became the territory of Ergadia which Dougall’s successor chiefs would hold for another hundred and fifty years until 1308.
Dougall also inherited the winter residence at Ardtornish, and the ancient forts at Dunstaffnage and Dunollie which would later be rebuilt or updated by the clan.
At the time most of the Hebrides Isles belonged to Norway and the mainland belonged to Scotland. This meant that MacDougall Chiefs were then feudal vassals of two overlord Kings who did not always remain at peace with one another. Dougall inherited these two kingships.
