  • Mac Scelling (fl. 1154 – 1173/1174), also known as Mac Scilling, was a prominent twelfth-century military commander engaged in conflicts throughout Ireland. He is first recorded in 1154 commanding the maritime forces of Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn, king of the Cenél nEógain, in a bloody encounter against Toirrdelbach Ua Conchobair, king of Connacht. Muirchertach's naval forces were drawn from the western peripheries of Scotland and the Isles. He next appears on record in 1173/1174, supporting the cause of Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, king of Connacht against the English colonisation of Mide. An early modern Scottish source claims that a man of the same name was a bastard son of Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, king of the Isles. If Mac Scelling was indeed related to Somairle, this relationship could cast light on the latter's conflict with the subsequent king, Guðrøðr Óláfsson, a man who appears to have opposed Muirchertach at some point in his career. Although not termed so in contemporary sources, Mac Scelling may be regarded as an early archetype of later gallowglasses, heavily-armed Scottish mercenaries recruited by Irish rulers in centuries that followed.

  • Mac Scelling (fl. 1154 – 1173/1174), también conocido como Mac Scilling, fue un destacado jefe militar del siglo XII que luchó en numerosos conflictos en Irlanda. Aparece por primera vez en 1154 mandando las fuerzas marítimas de Muirchertach Mac Lochlainn, Rey de Cenél nEógain en un sangriento encuentro contra Toirrdelbach Ua Conchobair, Rey de Connacht. Las fuerzas de Muirchertach habían sido reclutadas en las periferias occidentales de Escocia y las Islas. Luego aparece oficialmente en 1173/1174, apoyando la causa de Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, Rey de Connacht contra la colonización inglesa de Mide. Una fuente escocesa moderna afirma que un hombre del mismo nombre era hijo de bastardo de Somairle mac Gilla Brigte, Rey de las Islas. Si Mac Scelling estaba de hecho emparentado con Somairle, esto podría ayudar a explicar el conflicto de este último con Guðrøðr Óláfsson, Rey de las Islas, un hombre que parece haberse enfrentado a Muirchertach en algún punto en su carrera. Aunque no es llamado así en fuentes contemporáneas, Mac Scelling podría ser considerado como un temprano arquetipo temprano de los posteriores gallowglasses, mercenarios escoceses fuertemente armados reclutados por los gobernantes irlandeses en los siglos posteriores.
