John MacDonald - First Lord of the Isles

'Angling' for independence

Your past relations with Balliol and David II lend you weight within the English political community. You want complete independence. Change your loyalties, turn to Edward III of England. You promise him armies if he joins you in double-crossing David II.

intro and mission

Go it alone

Opt out of any alliances. You're fed up pleasing other monarchs and leaders. Part of your mission is to achieve independence and liberate Gaelic culture. Break any bonds and form your own kingdom in the west.

Taming the west

You marry Robert's daughter Margaret. This is a strategic political alliance. Robert is a follower of his grandfather Robert the Bruce's cause. He recognises the importance of the Gaelic community. This alliance could be beneficial in the future.

Your people are dissatisfied. What can you do to re-affirm your position and regain their trust?
