}[[Category:Lord of the Isles]]
== Biography ==
Ragnall is the son of [[Macgillibride-1|Somerled Macgillibride]] and [[Olafsdatter-41|Ragnhilda Olafsdatter]].
=== Variation of Name ===
Ragnall, Raghnall, Ragnvald son of Somerled, Rognvald, Reginaldi filii Sorleti, Reginald or RanaldPoMS, no. 6562 (http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/6562; accessed 5 March 2017)
=== Titles ===
''King of the Isles,'' ''lord of Kintyre,'' ''lord of Argyll,'' ''Lord of the Isles,'' ''dominus de Inchegal,'' ''lord of Innse Gall,'' PoMS, no. 6562 (http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/6562; accessed 5 March 2017)
=== Birth ===The time of Ragnall's birth is not known. He was probably born in Argyll but this is not certain. His father, [[Macgillebride-1|Somerled Macgillebride]], (killed in battle in 1164), is first mentioned in records in 1153, then styled 'regulus' of Argyll, when he rebelled against King Malcolm IV. PoMS, no. 337 (http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/337/#; accessed 5 March 2017) As Somerled had already established himself as king by 1153 it is likely that his children were already born prior to that time.
=== Death === Ragnall was defeated by his brother Angus in 1192.FMG, [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTTISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc359672006 Lords of the Isles] From then on he seems to all but disappear from the records. Some reference to 'circa 1207' is givenPoMS, no. 337 (http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/337/#; accessed 5 March 2017) but he may have lived well beyond that point.

Reg., 125 (http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/source/2685; accessed 5 March 2017) While it is claimed here that Fonia was of the house of Moray there is no evidence to corroborate this.
