Ewen Cameron of Lochiel (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Sir Ewen Cameron of Lochiel (Scottish Gaelic: Eòghain Camshròn Mac Dhòmhnaill Dubh; February 1629 – 12 June 1719) was a Scottish highland chief, soldier and courtier. He was the Lord of Clan Cameron – the 17th Lochiel, and was renowned for his role in the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (1650–1654) as a Cavalier and in the 1689 Jacobite Rebellion. Lord Macaulay described Sir Ewen as the 'Ulysses of the Highlands", being a man of enormous strength and size; indeed, he is regarded as one of the most formidable Scottish chiefs of all time. An incident showing his strength and ferocity in single combat, when he bit out the throat of an enemy is used by Sir Walter Scott in Lady of the Lake (canto v.). In 1680 he was said to have killed the last wolf in Scotland. (en)
