== Biography ==
Lachlan was born before 1367. Lachlan MacLean ... He passed away after 1390. [[Macdonald-91|John de Yle "Lord of the Isles"]] gave Lachlan the constabulary of Duart Castle on the Isle of Mull.
Mandate to absolve from excommunication Lachlan, son of John 'M'Guilleon' and Mary, daughter of John of the Isles, and to grant a Dispensation for their marriage. 13th May 1367. (Urb. v. De Lid. et Com. An. v.)
(Arch. Vat. Reg. Vat., 256 fol. 71.)
The compilers of the official ''Calendar of Entncs in the Papal Registers relating to Great Britain and h-eland—Papal Letters'', vol. iv. p. Q3—thus summarise the terms of this document: 'To the Bishop of Sodor. Mandate, if the facts are as stated, to absolve Lochlan (''Lacolannus'') Johannis called "Maguilleon" (Maclean) donsel and Mary de Insulis, daughter of John^ Lord of the Isles, from the excommunication which they have incurred by marrying without banns, and to grant them a dispensation to remain in the marriage so contracted, declaring their past and future offspring
legitimate.'
They thus omit to state that Lachlan and Mary de Insulis were within the forbidden degrees—a fact of which he is said to have been aware��and that the marriage between them was thus not merely irregular, but also invalid.
The effect of the papal letter was therefore not merely to relieve the parties of the ecclesiastical penalties incurred by contracting an irregular marriage, but also, ''ex post facto'', to validate the marriage and legitimate the offspring already born.
