Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kings of Carrick, Vol. 2: A Historical Romance of the Kennedys of Ayrshire The history of the Carrick division of Ayrshire during the last six hundred years is largely that of the Kennedy family. The present Marquis of Ailsa is the seventeenth in direct lineal male descent from a certain John de Kennedy, who, so far back as 1357-8, was confirmed by David II. in all the lands belonging to him. And that this John de Kennedy was descended from the more remote De Carricks, hardly admits of any doubt. It goes without saying that a family that can look back across five or six centuries of continuity must necessarily have a story that is worth the telling. Vastly important centuries in the history of Scotland, they necessarily evolved men meet for the × and inasmuch as Ayrshire during all that long period shared largely in the alternating fortunes of the centuries, it is beyond any reasonable doubt that its sons were men of character and of intrepidity. It was a Kennedy who stormed the grey Keep of Dunure, and drove thence a Norse baron who had long held it in his safe keeping.
