Note: @NI269@ King of Argyll. His father was a thane of Argyll,expelled from his possessions and forced to conceal himself in Morven. Somerled led the men of Morven to resist a band of Norse pirates and Somerled`s success led to his father regaining his possessions and gave him control of a large part of Argyll. Malcolm IV became jealous of Somerled`s power and demanded Somerled to resign his possessions to him. Somerled declined and war was declared in 1164,when Somerled sailed with 160 galleys up the Clyde river and landed near Renfrew. Battled ensured and Somerled and one son were killed and his forces defeated.
