Gille Críst, Earl Of Mar
Gille Críst of Mar is the fourth-known Mormaer of Mar, from 1183 to 1203. His relationship to the previous Mormaer, Morggán, is not totally clear, but Gille Críst was not the son of Morggán, and so his succession could probably be explained by operations of Gaelic succession, but scholars know almost nothing about the internal functions of Mar in this period. He had two sons, Máel Coluim and Eoin. He also had a daughter, whose name is unknown. Her importance though is high, because she married Máel Coluim of Lundie, and their son Thomas Durward eventually contested the inheritance of Mar by the line of Morggán. His wife was Orabilis, a daughter of Ness fitzWilliam, Lord of Leuchars. Her marriage to Gille was her third. She had previously been married to Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster, and, secondly, Adam, the son of Duncan I, Earl of Fife.{{Cite web, title=Ness, son of William, lord of Leuchars (d.1178×83), url=https://www.poms.ac.uk/record/person/4, url-stat ...

Mormaer
In early Middle Ages, medieval Kingdom of Scotland, Scotland, a mormaer was the Scottish Gaelic, Gaelic name for a regional or provincial ruler, theoretically second only to the Kings of Scots, King of Scots, and the senior of a ''Toísech'' (chieftain). Mormaers were equivalent to English earls or Continental counts, and the term is often translated into English as 'earl'. Name ''Mormaer'' (pl. ''mormaír'') and ''earl'' were respectively the Goidelic languages, Gaelic and Scots language, Scots words used for the position also referred to in Latin as ''comes'' (pl. ''comites''), which originally meant "companion". That the words ''mormaer'' and ''comes'' were equivalent can be seen in the case of Ruadrí, Earl of Mar, who is described as ''mormaer'' when listed as a witness in a document recorded in the Gaelic language in 1130 or 1131, and as ''comes'' in a charter recorded in Latin between 1127 and 1131. The word ''earl'' was increasingly used in place of ''mormaer'' as Scots ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Marr
Marr (Scottish Gaelic: ''Màrr'') is one of six committee areas in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. It has a population of 34,038 (2001 Census). Someone from Marr is called a ''Màrnach'' in Scottish Gaelic. Etymology The genesis of the name ''Marr'' is uncertain. ''Mar'', a Brittonic personal name, may be involved. Further possibilities include a connection with the ethnic names ''Marsi'' and ''Marsigni'' of Italy and Bohemia, or a derivation from Old Norse ''marr'' meaning "sea, marsh, fen". American academic Thomas Clancy has noted cautiously the similarity between the territory names ''Buchan'' and ''Marr'' to those of the Welsh commotes ''Cantref Bychan'' and ''Cantref Mawr'', meaning "large-" and "small-commote", respectively. Linguist Guto Rhys adjudged the proposal "appealing" but "questionable", on the basis that the form ''Marr'' conflicts with the expected development of ''mawr''.

Morggán, Earl Of Mar
Morggán of Mar is the first Mormaer or Earl of Mar to appear in history as "more than a characterless name in a witness-list.".Oram, "The Earls and Earldom of Mar", p. 47 He is often known as ''Morgrund'' or ''Morgan''. His father was Gille Chlerig. It is possible that Morggán participated in the so-called Revolt of the Earls, a protest by some of the native Scottish nobility during King Máel Coluim IV's trip to France as a vassal of King Henry II of England. It is also possible that he became estranged from the French-speaking king William I, because Morggán's name does not appear in royal acts of the latter king's reign. He married Agnes, a patroness of churches. Agnes was probably related to the ''de Warenne'' family - the family who married Ada de Warenne to Henry of Scotland - and who was mother of Kings Malcolm IV and William the Lion. Morggán and Agnes had at least one son, Donnchad, who eventually succeeded to become a Mormaer of Mar. Morggán had a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thomas Durward
Thomas de Lundin, often referred to as Thomas l'Ussier or Thomas Durward ( gd, Tomhas Dorsair), was a 13th-century Scottish nobleman. Thomas takes his name from the villa of Lundie in Angus (not to be confused with Lundie in Fife), and was one of two known sons of Máel Coluim of Lundie (the other was Eóghan). His father had married a daughter of Gille Críst, Earl of Mar. It was for this reason that, after the death of Gille Críst, Thomas challenged the right of his successor Donnchad. The dispute resulted in a division of the Earldom. Although Donnchad kept the title and most of the territory, Thomas and his family received much of the lowland part of the earldom in compensation. Thomas was the hostarius of King Alexander II of Scotland until his own death. It was for this reason that his descendants took the surname "Hostarius" (or Durward). He married a daughter, whose name is not known, of Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl, and by her he sired at least two sons, Alan Alan ...

Mormaer Of Mar
There are currently two earldoms of Mar in the Peerage of Scotland, and the title has been created seven times. The first creation of the earldom is currently held by Margaret of Mar, 31st Countess of Mar, who is also clan chief of Clan Mar. The seventh creation is currently held by James Erskine, 14th Earl of Mar and 16th Earl of Kellie, who is also clan chief of Clan Erskine. The earldom is an ancient one. The first named earl is Ruadrí, who is known to have been alive in 1128, though an unnamed earl is mentioned as being present at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. In 1435 the earldom was seized by King James II, and was then granted to several royal children who produced no heirs. The sixth creation was for James Stewart, illegitimate son of King James V, who was stripped of the title after a rebellion in 1565. The title was then granted to John Erskine, a descendant of the original earls. In 1866 the then-earl died childless, and it was unclear whether the earldom should pa ...

Donnchadh, Earl Of Mar
Donnchadh of Mar (Anglicized as Duncan) is the fifth known Mormaer of Mar or Earl of Mar, 1203–1244. Donnchadh was the son of Morggán and Agnes. Donnchadh benefited from the introduction of feudal primogeniture as a custom, as it enabled him and his kin to exclude the descendants of Gille Críst, whose contemporary leader was Thomas de Lundin, from the succession. Perhaps in gratitude, he named his oldest son William after King William I William I; ang, WillelmI (Bates ''William the Conqueror'' p. 33– 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard, was the first Norman king of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087 ..., the probable source of the innovation in Mar's inheritance custom. He married Orabillis of Nessius, by whom he fathered William, and died in 1244.

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Aberdeenshire
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
