QUOD verò Makintoshii filius (ut scribit Lesleus) propter
tenellam ætatem, ad subditos paulo ferociores, metû pœnâque

In revenge of this parricide, Donald Mackintosh (alias Glas),
nephew of Mackintosh by his brother William, and Donald
Mackintosh (alias MacWilliam vic Allan), his kinsman, with the
help of the laird of MacGregor, who had married the sister of
the murdered man, about three months after, apprehended John
Malcolmson, near Anakelt, and put him bound in chains on the
island of Rothemurchus, where he should be detained until the
Earl of Moray, Regent of Scotland (and brother-in-law of the slain
man) came to the north, in whose presence he was beheaded on
1st May 1531. But the rest of the Mackintoshes so fiercely pur-
sued the murderer, that they soon after punished him and the
other associates of his wickedness by death as they deserved.
Leslie, book 9, De Gestis Scotorum. In like manner, Milmor, with
his brother and the residue of their companions in crime, were
taken, and suffered merited punishments, and their hands were
stuck upon a pole where they had murdered their chief.

Because, as Leslie writes, the son of Mackintosh seemed unfit,
by reason of his tender age, to govern by fear and punishment
subjects somewhat unruly, his kinsman, Hector Mackintosh, was
by common consent elected chief, until the youth, his kinsman,
should by maturity of age be able to hold the government of his
clan. So Leslie.
