Succession
The succession of the war at its beginning was not in dispute, as the throne clearly passed to the oldest son of Ruaridh II, Caerls. However, after his early death in the war, the throne was claimed by Clyde Barheln, a choice supported by Protestant lords who were willing to overlook Caerls' cousin, Rhys Wydd-Màrtainn, in favor of Clyde, a fellow Protestant.
