  === Life Sketch ===
  XXII. Aodh, or Hugh, undoubtedly was forced to pay tribute to, and to recognize the "superiority" of, the Norse Governor of the Hebrides, in company with other western clans of that time.
  
  It is doubtful if Godred ever acknowledged Norway's sovereignty, and in 1093 Magnus Bareleg fitted out an expedition and came to enforce his claims. He was highly successful, and Godred passed from history's page. As soon as Magnus had departed, however, the northern Hebrides threw off the Danish yoke, and in 1097, he had to send out a governor and armed forces. He selected Ingemund, who apparently made; a most unworthy governor.
  
  Ingemund immediately summoned all the Chiefs of the Isles to appear and acknowledge their allegiance to Magnus. The Chiefs responded, but were so badly treated that they banded together and in the middle of the night surrounded the houses containing the governor and his men and fired them. The Norse all perished, either by flame or sword.
  
  Magnus, upon hearing of this treatment of his representative, at once set out on a punitive expedition consisting of sixty ships; he landed at Lewis, devastated the whole island by fire, and also went over into North Uist.
  
  He passed the winter of 1098 in the southern Hebrides and fell under the charm of the native Highland costume, which he adopted and from which ·he gained the name of Magnus Bareleg. Upon his return to Norway he set the fashion and the "Garb of Old Gaul" is said to have flourished at that Court for many years. He made a third expedition in 1103, when he met his death, but this was mainly against Ireland, and the Hebrides were not molested. Upon his death, Lagman, son of Godred, assumed the sovereignty and was cruel and despotic. In 1114 he was succeeded by his brother Olave, who made a very good ruler and reigned for forty years, when he was murdered.
  
  During these years Aodh had been succeeded in the Chiefship of the Clan by his son, XXIII. DONAL.
