    NOTES:
    a. Also called Grimus, he was lay abbot of Dunkeld.

    b. Sixth and youngest son of Malcolm III, he became Earl of Huntingdon by his marriage in 1113 to Maud, daughter of Earl Waltheof. That same year he founded an Abbey at Suffolk, and founded another Abbey at Jedworth in 1118. He succeeded his brother, Alexander I, as King of Scotland 25 Apr 1124. Having retained his English lands, he joined in 1127 in the Baron's recognition of the right the Empress Maud to succeed her father to the throne of England. Thus, when Stephen seized the crown, David took arms against him, but a peace was reached about Mar 1136. David resigned the earldom of Huntingdon in favor of his son, Henry, who did homage to Stephen. When war broke out again, David was defeated at the battle of the Standard 12 Aug 1138. He died at Carlisle in 1153.

    c. During the wars between his father and King Stephen, he fought on the Scottish side at the battle of the Standard. He succeeded to the earldom of Huntingdon upon his father's resignation in 1136, and became a favorite of King Stephen, spending much time with him in England. He made grants to St. Andrew's at Northants, and in 1150 founded the Abbey of Holmcultram in Cumberland. He died v.p., probably being in his late thirties.

    d. In his minority he succeeded his grandfather, David I, King of Scotland, to the earldom of Huntingdon, upon the death of William's father in 1152. While Henry II recognized him as Earl of Huntingdon, he refused him the earldom of Northumberland, (William's elder brother, Malcolm IV, as King of Scotland, had surrendered the earldom to Henry II in 1157). Thus, William became an enemy of the English King. Having joined Prince Henry in rebellion against his father, he invaded England, but was defeated and taken prisoner at Alnwick 12 Jul 1174, and then deprived of the earldom of Huntingdon. In 1185, he obtained a regrant of the earldom of Huntingdon, but then immediately resigned it to his brother, David.

    e. Younger brother of Kings William the Lion and Malcolm IV, he was knighted by Henry II on 31 May 1170. Upon his brother William's return from imprisonment in England in 1174, he received from him the district of Garioch in Aberdeenshire and the earldom of Lennox. He was a hostage for Scotland upon the confirmation of the Convention of Falaise, terms of which were proclaimed before both Kings, and the Scots earls doing fealty to Henry and his son. By his brother, William's, resignation of the earldom, he became Earl of Huntingdon in 1185. He founded the Abbey of Lindores in Fife in 1191, and was a benefactor to St. Andrew's and to Holy Trinity London. He and his brother-in-law, the Earl of Chester, besieged the castle of Nottingham in 1194, when it was held by adherents of John, the King's brother. His English honors were confirmed to him in May 1205 and Mar 1215, but he was deprived in 1215/1216, but were again restored in Mar 1218. He and wife Maud had three sons and three daughters: (1) Robert, who died young; (2) Henry, who died unmarried; (3) John "the Scot", who became Earl of Huntingdon and Chester, who died s.p.; (4) Margaret, married Alan, Lord of Galloway; (5) Isabel, married Robert Brus, Lord of Annandale; and (6) Ada, married Henry de Hastings. There was likely another son, David, who is called "David, my son" and named as deceased in a charter.

    f. Lord of Allerdale and Carlisle, he was born between 1040 and 1048. He probably visited Rome in 1061 in company with Tostig. He joined the Danes in an invasion of northern England, and after making peace with William I, he was entrusted with the government of Northumberland at Christmas 1067. In 1071, by order of William I, he escorted Walcher, recently consecrated Bishop, from York to Durham. However, he was deprived of his Northumberland post in Oct/Nov 1072, whence he fled to Scotland, where Malcolm III granted him Dunbar with the adjacent lands in Lothian. He is presumed to have died not long after, in about 1075. He appears to have left three sons, Gospatric, Waltheof, and Dolfin. The Complete Peerage identifies his wife as "sister of Edmund", the identity of said Edmund having baffled genealogists for centuries.

    g. Lord of Allerdale, and an elder brother of Gospatric, he had two sons, Alan, who was living 16 Aug 1139 and died s.p.m., and Gospatric, possibly illegitimate, who was living about 1156.

    h. Younger brother of Dolfin (who was expelled in 1092 from Carlisle), and Waltheof, he was one of the nine signatories to the charter of Scone, about 1115. He appears to have held the title of Earl, although there is no record which gives proof of this, nor any record that he was ever called such during his lifetime. But a charter, confirmed after his death, to the monks at Durham, styles him as "Gospatricus Comes". He is doubtless the leader of the men of Lothian who was slain at the battle of the Standard 22 Aug 1138.

    i. Her identification as Isabel de Dunbar and identical to Isabel, wife of Roger Fitz John of Warkworth is a recent (Oct-Nov 2004) discovery. Follow the link to her husband for further information of her identification and ancestry posted on society.genealogy.medieval.
