"The Scots Peerage," ed. by Sir James Balfour Paul, 4:135: "The first Lord
or Prince of Galloway on record is Fergus, styled `of Galloway', who
appears as a witness to a charter by King David I, granting land to the
Church of Glasgow on 7 July 1136 when that church was dedicated.... Little
is known of his personal history, but like King David I...he gave liberally
to the church, and was the founder of several abbeys in his own district.
...Towards the close of his life, and after King David's death, Fergus
appears to have been drawn by the claims of relationship to take part in
the insurrection of Donald MacBeth, or at least to afford him shelter in his
territories. There Donald was pursued by King Malcolm IV, who succeeded in
1160 in reducing the rebellious district to submission, and Fergus, perhaps
because of advancing age, took the cowl, and became a monk in the then new
Abbey of Holyrood, where he died in 1161. He is said to have married
Elizabeth, the youngest natural daughter of Henry I of England, but the
authorities quoted by Chalmers, who makes the statement, do not bear out
his assertion. However, Hovendon (who knew the Galloway chiefs personally)
and Benedict Abbas both refer to Uchtred, eldest son of Fergus, as cousin
of Henry II. This epithet is NOT applied to Gilbert, and he may be a son
by a second wife."

son of Maldred, Lord of Carlisle and Allerdale, who was slain in battle in 1045 and whose wife is Edith of England - Maldred is son of Crinan the Thane and Bethoc. Created Earl by William the Conqueror, he was soon deprived of the earldom and fled to
Scotland where King Malcolm Canmore gave him Dunbar and adjoining lands. Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages" (London, 1883) reports "The monks of Durham celebrated 15 December, 1069, the death of this Cospatricius, Earl and Monk; and, in 1821, a
stone coffin inscribed on its lid, `+ Cospatricius Comes,' was found in the monks' burial ground at Durham."
"The Scots Peerage," James Balfour Paul (Edinburg: David Douglas, 1906), pp. 241-3, also gives Maldred (or Malcolm, ID 3257) as his father. Cospatric I visited Rome in 1061; his wife was a sister of Edmund per "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992), 34-22.
Dunbar = Lothian. The LDS Church's unverified Ancestral File gives Cospatrick's wife as Aethelreda, Princess of England. In 2001 there is a Dunbar Clan site on the Internet at: http://www.tartans.com/clans/Dunbar/dunbar.html
