| Notes |
- John, the son of Angus Og, is generally considered the first official Lord of the Isles although this has been shown to be only a matter of semantics. All 7 generations before him considered themselves rulers of the Isles as descendants of the kings of Dalriada.
John was known as Good King John of Islay. He was married first to Amie McRauri who was a distant cousin. With this marriage he reclaimed the lands given to Reginald's only other son, Rauri. He later divorced her and married Margaret, the daughter of Robert II of Scotland whose father had been a Steward or Stewart and whose mother was the daughter of Robert the Bruce. The son of John and Margaret was Donald who now was not only the son of (and a future) Lord of the Isles but was also the grandson of the King of Scotland.
