CLESS'AMMOR, son of Thaddu and brother of Morna (Fingal's mother). He married Moina, daughter of Reutha'mir (the principal man of Balclutha, on the Clyde). It so happened that Moina was beloved by a Briton named Reuda, who came with an army to carry her off. Reuda was slain by Clessammor; but Clessammor, being closely pressed by the Britons, fled, and never again saw his bride. In due time a son was born, called Carthon; but the mother died. While Carthon was still an infant, Fingal's father attacked Balclutha, and slew Reuthama (Carthon's grandfather). While the boy grew to manhood, he determined on vengeance; accordingly he invaded Morven, the kingdom of Fingal, where Clessammor, not knowing who he was, engaged him in single combat, and slew him. When he discovered that it was his son, three days he mourned for him, and on the fourth he died.--Ossian, _Carthon_.

Scott in _Peveril of the Peak_. _Cleve'land_ (Captain Clement), alias Vaughan [_Vawn_], "the pirate," son of Norna of the Fitful Head.

Knowles, _The Hunchback_ (1831). _Clifford, (Mr.)_, the heir of Sir William Charlton in right of his mother, and in love with Lady Emily Gayville. The scrivener Alscrip had fraudulently got possession of the deeds of the Charlton estates, which he had given to his daughter called "the heiress," and which amounted to £2000 a year; but Rightly, the lawyer, discovered the fraud, and "the heiress" was compelled to relinquish this part of her fortune. Clifford then proposed to Lady Emily, and was accepted.--General Burgoyne, _The Heiress_. (1781). _Clifford (Paul)_, a highwayman, reformed by the power of love.--Lord Lytton, _Paul Clifford_ (1830). _Clifford (Rosamond)_, usually called "The Fair Rosamond," the favorite mistress of Henry II.; daughter of Walter Lord Clifford.
