Everything about Niall Earl Of Carrick totally explained
Níall of Carrick was the second man to bear the title
Mormaer, or
Earl, of
Carrick. He married
Margaret, daughter of
Walter fils de Alan.
Níall made a grant which assured that his nephew, Lachlan and successors would have all the powers in respect to the
ceann ceneóil (head of kin). This grant was confirmed by King
Alexander III. It ensured that the structure of Carrick's Gaelic society would remain pretty undisturbed in the event that no male heir was allowed to succeed him.
As things transpired, this is indeed what happened. Níall left no sons, and was succeeded by his daughter
Marjory. The latter passed the mormaerdom on to her son
Roibert a Briuis, the great man who became King
Robert I of Scotland.
