A later account of the battle, preserved by the fifteenth-century "Scotichronicon", confusingly identifies 'Donald of the Isles' as leader of the Gallovidian forces, but then includes a verse about the clash in which a 'Donald of Islay' is identified as an ally of Edward Bruce. As such, there is reason to suspect that the Bruce-aligned 'Donald' mentioned by this source is identical to Donald of Islay, and that the Gallovidian-aligned 'Donald' is identical to Donald MacCann, a Gallovidian who consistently supported the English against the Bruces, and who disappears from record at about this point in history. The account of Edward Bruce's campaigning against the Gallovidians, given by the "Chronicle of Lanercost", states that his forces were partly composed of men from the Isles. The evidence of Donald of Islay in league with pro-Bruce forces could indicate that "Gesta Annalia II" was erroneous in placing him and the Islesmen against Edward Bruce's forces. One possibility is that the account given by "Chronicle of Lanercost" influenced "Gesta Annalia II" in its identification of Edward Bruce's foe as from the Isles. Having been forced from Scotland, Dungal received an order of protection from the English Crown in August 1308, presumably in the context of an attempt to regain his lands. Nevertheless, Dungal's venture appears to have been unsuccessful, and months later he was granted an English manor in compensation. Specifically, in April 1309, Dungal received a royal grant of the Yorkshire manor of Temple-Cowton to sustain himself and his family. The record of his grant is the first time that Dungal is attested as a knight. It was probably an English elevation. Certainly, Dungal is stated to have been "hated by the enemy" for his actions in Scotland. Prior to 1308, the manor was a possession of the Knights Templar. On 8 February 1311/1312, the manor—then recently taken into royal possession—was ordered by the king to be delivered into the hands of Dungal's wife, Matilda, until Dungal was able to receive it himself. Whilst serving the king in 1310/1311, Dungal was made constable of Dumfries Castle, and as such served as Sheriff of Dumfries. On 7 February 1312, Dungal was compelled to surrender the castle to Robert's forces.
