Kenneth Mackenzie, tenth Baron of Kintail, who died in 1568

---

Kenneth Mackenzie (died 6 June 1568), traditionally reckoned 10th of Kintail and nicknamed Coinneach na Cuirc (or “Kenneth of the Whittle”), was a Highland chief, head of the Clan Mackenzie, who flourished in the turbulent Scottish politics of the mid-16th century.

Kenneth was the only son of John Mackenzie, 9th of Kintail (d.1561) and Elizabeth, the daughter of John Grant of Grant. The Mackenzies were a clan from Ross-shire that had risen to prominence in the 15th century during the disintegration of the Lordship of the Isles. In 1539 he was tenant of Little Skattil and Bawblair and, by a charter dated 24 April 1543, his father resigned to him and his wife part of the lordship of Kintail and the lands of Mekill Braan.

Kenneth Mackenzie, 10th of Kintail From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kenneth Mackenzie (died 6 June 1568), was the 10th laird of Kintail and he was nicknamed Coinneach na Cuirc in Scottish Gaelic (or “Kenneth of the Whittle”), was a Highland chief, head of the Clan Mackenzie, who flourished in the turbulent Scottish politics of the mid-16th century.

Origins[edit]

Kenneth was the only son of John Mackenzie, 9th of Kintail (d.1561) and Elizabeth, the daughter of John Grant of Grant. The Mackenzies were a clan from Ross-shire that had risen to prominence in the 15th century during the disintegration of the Lordship of the Isles. In 1539 he was tenant of Little Skattil and Bawblair and, by a charter dated 24 April 1543, his father resigned to him and his wife part of the lordship of Kintail and the lands of Mekill Braan.[1]

Disputes with the Earl of Huntly[edit]

In 1544, Kenneth was commanded by the Earl of Huntly, who held a commission as Lieutenant of the North from the Queen Regent, Mary of Guise, to raise his vassals and lead an expedition against Donald Glas Macdonald of Moidart. Kenneth declined, with the result that the Earl of Huntly ordered his entire army of 3,000 to proceed against both men. Huntly was however unsuccessful and was eventually obliged to retire from the West without achieving any significant victory. Some years later, Kenneth again embarrassed Huntly at a skirmish known as “the affair of Dingwall Bridge”.

A follower of Queen Mary[edit] Having succeeded his father in 1561, Kenneth was one of the Highland Chiefs who met Mary, Queen of Scots, at Inverness in 1562 and helped her to obtain possession of Inverness Castle, from which she had been excluded by Alexander Gordon, the governor. Thereafter, he appears to have retired from public life. An Act of the Privy Council of 21 May 1562 records that Kenneth delivered up to the Queen Mary Macleod, the heiress of Harris and Dunvegan, who had somehow found herself in his custody. The Act held him harmless against any proceedings by James Macdonald of Dunnyveg and the Glens, the legal guardian of Mary Macleod, who had previously demanded her return.

Family[edit] With his father, Kenneth received a remission in 1551 for the imprisonment of his cousin John Glassich Mackenzie (the son and heir of Hector Roy Mackenzie of Gairloch), who had died in mysterious circumstances in Eilean Donan Castle. It was said that John Glassich had intended to renew his father’s claim to ancestral Mackenzie homelands in Kintail. Kenneth married in 1538 Lady Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of John Stewart, 2nd Earl of Atholl, by Lady Janet Campbell, daughter of the Archibald Campbell, 2nd Earl of Argyll. His own children also made very advantageous marriages:[1]

Colin Cam Mackenzie, who succeeded him, married Barbara Grant, daughter of John Grant of Grant. Roderick Mackenze of Redcastle married Florence, daughter of Robert Mor Munro, 15th Baron of Foulis Janet married, first, Aeneas Macdonald of Glengarry and, secondly, Alexander Chisholm of Chisholm. Catherine married Alexander Ross of Balnagown and died on 12 April 1592. Agnes married (contract 11 May 1567) Lachlan Mor Mackintosh of Mackintosh. Margaret married (contract 24 November 1556) Walter Innes, son and heir of John Innes of Inverbreckie, and died in June 1570. Elizabeth married Walter Urquhart of Cromarty. Marjory married (contract 30 May 1574) Robert Munro, son and heir of Robert Munro of Foulis. Death and burial[edit] Kenneth died at Killin on 6 June 1568 and was buried at Beauly Priory.
