Early Life

Marriage to Cailean Suthar-Màrtainn

Contested Election and Second Princes' War

- claims throne on behalf of wife's line (granddaughter of Sear Martainn), was elected by literally himself and one other Vicar's forged signature

- still managed to beat the hell out of other Vicars and get support for his cause, particularly from the remaining Wydd-Martainn relations who were pissed about their family's deaths and the Ardceriterinn (?) unlanded professional soldiers, who he made into a well-paid and respected standing military elite
