Lachlann Mac Ruaidhrí
Lachlann Mac Ruaidhrí (fl. 1297 – 1307/1308) was a Scottish magnate and chief of Clann Ruaidhrí. He was a free-booting participant in the First War of Scottish Independence, who remarkably took up arms against figures such as John, King of Scotland, Edward I, King of England, the Guardians of Scotland, and his near rival William II, Earl of Ross. Lachlann disappears from record in 1307/1308, and appears to have been succeeded by his brother, Ruaidhrí, as chief of Clann
of this Scottish family settled in Ulster as gallowglass commanders in the Middle Ages, and are last recorded acting as such in the fourteenth century. A family bearing forms of the name produced herenachs for the parish of Ballynascreen.
