Crinan or Grimus is also known as Albanach. He was Lay Abbot of Dunkeld and Governor of the Hebrides Islands of Scotland. His parents are not known, but he appears to be of Viking ancestry. Sir Anthony R. Wagner, Garter King of Arms ("English
Ancestry," Oxford Un. Press, 1961, p.16) states: "Though there is no genealogy of Crinan's ancestors, his hereditary abbacy of Dunkeld makes it likely that he was of the blood of St. Columba (d. 597), the apostle of Scotland, who was a great-grandson
of the Irish high king Niall of the Nine Hostages." "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W. H. Turton (Balt.: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968) gives Crinan's parents as Duncan and ____ "of the Isles." Le Bateman (LeBateman@NetZero.Net) offered via email 7/2001: "Maldred
mac Crinan or Grimus had son named Maldred also. The ancestry for Uhtred is in Henry B. Woolf's "Old Germanic Principles of Name Giving," and the Neville ancestry is in Volume IX of The Complete Peerage by George E. Cokayne. Maldred would be listed in
both. Also check Frederick Lewis Weis's Ancestral Roots 7th Ed. 1997. p. 247."
