	MacFarlane Clan - History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		These ancient Celtic earls of the Lennox, the remote forefathers of the MacFarlanes, were themselves Gaels in origin, although they sometimes bore old Anglo-Saxon names because of their descent from an heiress of the line of the great Northumbrian thegn Arkil Ecgfrith's-sin, who fled to Scotland from William the Conqueror in 1070.
		genealogies, these mormaers or earls of the Lennox spring from the ancient royal house of Munster (though several generations are omitted), and this is certainly supported by the family's continued use of the Munster royal family names Muireadhach, Maelduin and Corc as late as the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
		But the earldom of Lennox was later regranted to the Stuarts of Darnley, descended from Earl Duncan's youngest daughter; and we are told that MacFarlane opposition to them was overcome by the marriage of then chief, Andrew MacFarlane of Arrochar, to a daughter of the new earl.
