He had been released by Edward I of England after seven years as a prisoner?of?war in the Tower of London, and presumably had no wish hopelessly to renew the experience.
But as soon as possible, he was reconciled in 1307 to king Robert (who gave his sister Lady Maud in marriage to the chief's son Hugh) and he led the men of the North for Bruce at Bannockburn.
Hugh, 4th Earl of Ross, was killed wearing St. Duthac's shirt in battle against the English and King Edward Balliol at Halidon Hill in 1333.

 McLaughlin Crest   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
They were not hereditary in any sense, since the chief of sept was elected by the ancient Irish custom of derbhfine, under which any man whose grandfather had been chief was himself eligible for the chieftainry.
Some years ago, Edward McLysaght and others in Ireland came up with the concept of sept arms, in which they decided it was permissible for anyone bearing the McLaughlin surname to display these arms as his own.
I personally agree with McLysaght that these are sept arms, and that anyone who can trace his ancestry to Donegal, Londonderry, or Tyrone, and thus is probably a descendant of the McLaughlin of Tirconnell sept should be entitled to display these clan arms as he or she wishes.

Each family was at liberty to adopt a sirname from some particular ancestor, and generally, took their names from some chief of their tribe who was celebrated for his valour, wisdom, peity, or some other great qualities.
Edward McLysaght writes in his book Irish Surnames the following: Prior to Brian Boru there was no such thing as a "Proper" last name.
If there was a name that was found in every generation (example John, William, Edward, Charles, etc), then somewhere in their children you would surely find these names.

 History of The Grogan Name
The O prefix of this name - Ó Gruagáin in Irish - was dropped in the seventeenth century and does not appear to have been resumed at all in recent times.
Of this family was Cornelius Grogan (1738 - 1798) of the County Wexford gentry who joined the United Irishmen: he was executed for his prominent part in the Insurrection; his brother Thomas, who fought on the other side, was killed in action.
Sir Edward Grogan, Bart., (1802 - 1891), who was M.P. for Dublin City for 25 years, was also of this family.

 Surname Discussion, ©Jane Lyons
If their ancestors said they came from Ireland, then to my mind, those people must have been born in Ireland regardless of where their parents or grandparents came from.
Edward McLysaght gives the origin of some Irish surnames, where they may have been found in Ireland, where they were most common, some being found only in one county.
He lists some variations, some synonyms, he tells where a name may have been changed to something which seems totally unlike the original between one county and another.

 Four Courts Press   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
Jaski approaches a daunting subject with circumspection, and strips away the accretion of mythology and misinformation that has plagued the subject, particularly in light of the 'courtesy recognition' afforded modern Irish chiefs since the 1940s, based on primogeniture descent from the last inaugurated chief, as recommended by the first Chief Herald, Edward McLysaght.
One is forced to conclude, after reading the book, that McLysaght was perhaps applying the only Brehon Law successional principal possible after some chiefships had been dormant for three centuries or more.
The reader should not be misled by the book title's reference to "kingship." While this is certainly covered in depth, there is considerable discussion of the succession of the headship of smaller kinship groups, from the gelfine to the iarfine, again citing both theoretical principles and actual examples.
