68 THE HIGHLANDERS [part i of it as far as the Mounth, that that conquest must have com- prehended only the eastern and less mountainous parts of these districts. Thorstein retained possession of his conquered territories for six years, and during this period it might be expected that the native tribes inhabiting these districts would be almost driven out—those whose possessions included mountain districts would take refuge there in order to escape the invader, but it is scarcely to be expected that any tribe whose .sole possessions were on the coast would escape almost total annihilation. When the unconquered tribes, however, succeeded in driving the Norwegians out of the country, those who had taken refuge in their mountain recesses would regain possession of that part of their territories which they had lost, while the districts which had belonged to any tribe that had been totally crushed and overwhelmed by the Norwegians, would probably become the possession of the nearest tribe. Now the Loiigai was almost the only tribe whose possessions were confined to the coast, and in the numerous Norse accounts of Thorstein's kingdom, we find traces of the extinction of the family of but one of the many Scottish larls who opposed him. The Landnamabok mentions the slaughter of Meldun, a Scottish larl, and the slavery of his whole family, who did not recover their freedom even on the reconquest of the northern districts by the native chiefs. There can be little doubt from this that the tribe inhabiting the coast of Sutherland had been almost entirely annihilated by the conquest of Thorstein, and that the tribe inhabiting the interior of this district had, on the extinction of the Norwegian kingdom, obtained possession of the whole. The changes which had taken place in the relative situation of the northern tribes in the second and in the eleventh century, will be more easily understood from the following Table :— Names of the districts of the Names of the Tribes inhabiting loth century; thetn ; from the Norse Sagas. from Ptolemy.
