    family of Dunbar. He was Lord of Carlisle and Allendale. He and Ealdgith
    are given as parents of Gospatrick by "The Prescott Family of America,"
    Doris Cline Ward (2nd Ed., 1977). See "The Scots Peerage," James Balfour
    Paul (Edinburg: David Douglas, 1906), pp. 240-41. He was Regent of

    is not certain that this is another wife, or if this is indeed the mother of

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  Crinan, Grimus was born in 978; died in 1045.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    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."

    Grimus married Bethoc about 1005. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Occupation: Heiress of Scone

    Children:
    1. 4. Maldred died in 1045.
    2. MacCrinan, King of Scots Duncan I died on 14 Aug 1040 in Elgin.

  3. 12.  Uchtred Earl of Northumberland was born about 965 (son of Waltheof, Earl I Northumberland); died in 1016.

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Uchtred was granted the Earldom of Northumberland while his father, also
    Earl, was still alive - due to his bravery against the Scots. He married:
    (1) Egfrida, dau. of Bp. Aldwin of Durham; (2) Sigen, dau. of Styr; (3)
    ____; and (4) Elgiva, dau. of King Ethelred II of England. There is some
    doubt as to whether Cospatrick (ID2148) is his son or his grandson.

    + Ecgfrid. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 13.  Ecgfrid (daughter of Ealdhun Bishop of Durham).

    Notes:

    [dunbar_tree.FTW]

    Identified as daughter of Ealdhun, Bishop of Durham (d. 1018) and wife of Uchtred the Bold - W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Baltimore: Gen. Pub. Co., 1968), p. 141. Le Bateman (LeBateman@NetZero.Net) reported via email, July, 2001: "'Old
    Germanic Principles of Name Giving' by Woolf has Egfrid's name spelled Ecgthryth. Actually for the name to make the dg as in Ridge or Edge Sweord. Ecg, cg would have to be present. And Aldwin as Aeldhun. Also though you should I know Uhtred and his
    first wife had a son named Thored. There was another son, but cannot recall his name. Uhtred's grandfather was Ealdred and his greatgrandfather Ealdulf also spelled Ealdwulf. Was wondering who Styr Wulf's son was. Ealdwulf is supposedly descended
    from Ida the Flame Bearer."

    Notes:

    Married:
    his first wife
