    "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."

  2. 9.  Elizabeth (daughter of Henry, King of England I).

    "The Lineage and Ancestry of HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales," I:11-12,
    lists 20 `natural' children of King Henry I; among the youngest is Isabel
    (a form of Elizabeth), born of Isabel, daughter of Robert de Beaumont, Earl
    of Leicester, and wife of Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Pembroke.

    perhaps not married
