| Summary | "History of the Mackenzies, with Genealogies of the Principal Families" by Alexander Mackenzie is a historical account that revisits its subject in a new and expanded edition during the late 19th century. This work offers a detailed examination of the Clan Mackenzie, delving into its genealogical roots and significant historical narratives that shaped its legacy in the Scottish Highlands. The opening portion of the text introduces readers to the author's motivations for producing this revised work, explaining the inadequacies of the previous edition that was well-received but deemed incomplete. It highlights the controversy surrounding the clan's origins, particularly the disputed descent from the Fitzgerald family versus a native Celtic lineage descending from a local chief. Early genealogical details are discussed, including significant familial connections, noteworthy figures in the clan’s history, and their key roles in the historical events that impacted the Highlands, particularly in relation to their standing among other noble families. The account sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the rich heritage and elaborate lineage of the Mackenzies to follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
