Western Kingdom of the Levantines: Difference between revisions

Lorcan would suffer a massive military defeat against the Southern Levantine Kingdom in 970, forcing him to concede substantial areas of lands to the Southern Levantines. This military defeat greatly angered the Western Levantine Kingdom's {{wp|Scottish people|Carnish}} and {{wp|Gaels|Gaelic}} vassals, many of whom had grown tired of the rule of [[Conchobarian dynasty|Conchobar's descendants]] and wished to rule themselves once again. This led to [[Rebellion of 977|a coordinated revolt]] in 977 by the Western Levantine Kingdom's Carnish and Gaelic vassals, who demanded that Lorcan grant them their independence and dissolve the Western Kingdom of the Levantines. The rebellion ended in 978 when Lorcan was captured during a skirmish on the outskirts of [[Dunaird]]. In exchange for his freedom, Lorcan signed the [[Treaty of Colgar]], granting independence to his vassals and dissolving the Western Kingdom of the Levantines.
