"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."

Cospatrick was Earl of Northumberland (1067-72), first Earl of Dunbar (1072-75), Lord of Carlisle and Allerdale. He m. a sister of Edmund.{-Carr P. Collins, "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons" (Dallas, 1959, p. 229)} One lineage states that he is
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

Malcolm III Canmore became king after the defeat of Macbeth at Lumphanan.
He had spent fifteen years in his youth at the court of Edward the
Confessor and after the Conquest gave asylum to Edgar the Aetheling and his
sisters, marrying one of them in 1070. {-see Encyclopedia Britannica,1956
Ed.,14:723,20:146:} "The kingdom of which Malcolm III took possession was a
Celtic kingdom, though one of its provinces was peopled by Angles. Local
and tribal custom prevailed alike in Scotland proper (the district north of
the Forth and Clyde) and in Galloway; the speech was Celtic; the court and
administrative system, so far as the latter can be said to have existed,
were Celtic. The church still retained, to a large extent, the structure
and customs of Irish Christianity, although in the beginning of the 8th
century a powerful Pictish monarch had ordered his people to keep the Roman
date for Easter.... The disorganized state of the Scottish church, and
some peculiar customs which marked its ritual, shocked the conscience of
Malcolm's wife, an English princess, Margaret, who after the Norman
Conquest, sought refuge in Scotland along with her brother, Edgar the Athel
ing. ...Margaret was a woman of saintly life - she was canonized a century
and a half after her death - and her own desire was to be a nun. [She
tried but failed to bring the Scottish church into full compliance with
Rome and its systems.] ...Her most important personal achievements were
the introduction of an English-speaking court and of English-speaking
clergy, and the education of her children in English ways and traditions."
Malcolm founded the house of Canmore which reigned for more than 200 years;
thus he restored the House of Atholl. His reign was 1058-1093; he was
crowned at Scone.

Malcolm married Margaret, Saint of Scotland in 1070 in Dunfermline, Scotland. of (daughter of Edward, The Atheling and Agatha, of Hungary) was born in 1045; died on 16 Nov 1093 in Edinburgh Castle; was buried in Dumfermline, Scotland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Patrick was styled "Comes Marchiae et Moraviae" in right of his wife.
Burke's "Dormant and Extinct Peerages" (London, 1883) reports: "Patrick
Dunbar, the 10th earl, was with his father at Carlaverock; and, after the
battle of Bannockburn, gave refuge to Edward II in his castle of Dunbar,
and secured the king's escape in a fishing boat to England. Making peace,
however, with Robert Bruce, he signed the letter to the Pope in 1320, was
appointed Governor of Berwick Castle, and held that fortress against Edward
III, until the defeat of the Scots at Halidon Hill necessitated its
surrender. Not long after, his Countess, known in history as `Black Agnes,'
dau. of the renowned Regent of Scotland Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, and
grandniece of Bruce, defended in the absence of her husband, in January,
1337-8, the castle of Dunbar against the English, under the Earl of
Salisbury, during a fierce and determined siege of nineteen weeks, and at
length forced the Earl to abandon the attempt. This gallant resistance of
the Countess of Dunbar is memorable in Scottish annals, and has given
subject to many a minstrel's song. `Black Agnes' became eventually heiress
of her brother, John Randolph, 3rd Earl of Moray, and her husband added the
Earldom of Moray to his other dignities."
