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.
