Source: p7, WAR - 143 Galloglass 1250-1600, Gaelic Mercenary Warrior by Fergus Cannan:
Inauguration of the chief of the O'Neills at Tullaghoge in an English map of c.1600. A two-handed axe, held aloft on the left, indicates the presence of O'Neill's MacDonnell constable of galloglass at the ceremony. Mac Domhnaill (MacDonnell) and Mac Sithigh (MacSheehy) galloglass were descended from the MacDonalds, a preeminent power in the Western Isles. Already deeply involved in Irish affairs by the time of the Bruce invasion, many joined with the Scots assault on Ireland. Other MacDonalds opposed the Bruce brothers but seem also to have been on bad terms with the anti-Bruce MacDougalls. These MacDonalds probably found themselves in reduced circumstances and became galloglass in Ireland.
