Well, this is relevant. I found that my Y chromosome and my male-line relatives are from the McDonald clan of Scotland. The explanation is that I am probably descended from some McDonald who moved from Scotland to Ireland more than 500 years ago to fight as a mercenary for a local Irish "king". There was a whole class of Scots who did that and are known as Galloglass.

Shakespeare mentions gallowglasses in his play Macbeth:

The merciless Macdonwald,
Worthy to be a rebel, for to that
The multiplying villainies of nature
Do swarm upon him, from the Western isles
Of kerns and gallowglasses is supplied

Lucky you, Patrick. That ancestor Lad of yours not only survived, but was horny as hell to procreate.

It's a fun idea. I'm not sure about the gallowglass thing, only that I have the same Y chromosome as most McDonald men, and that they did volunteer.
