Notes:

Also called Gille Crist. Earl of Angus; according to the Scots Peerage, the first to unambiguously use that title.

But nothing of this is seen in SP, and CP calls it "doubtful."

"Gilchrist, Earl of Angus [S.], br. and h. He was witness in 1198 to a document in the Chartulary of Arbroath Abbey (no. 148), to which Abbey he was a great benefactor. He d. between 1207 and 1211." [Complete Peerage I:146]

Gillebride married (Unknown wife of Gillebride of Angus) of Dunbar. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Complete Peerage I:145: "[Gillebride] seems to have m., 1stly, a da. of Gospatrick, Earl of Dunbar." On chronological grounds, we make her a daughter of the Gospatric who d. 1166.

Notes:

Succeeded his father in the Scottish territories and the serjeanty of Beanley, Northumberland. Held to have been earl of Dunbar and Lothian. On his seal he styled himself earl of Lothian.

"In his role as a benefactor of the church, Gospatric also contrasts with his father. Not only was he a patron of the abbeys of Melrose and Kelso and the priory of Coldingham, but he also jointly founded, along with his wife, a Cistercian nunnery at Coldstream, probably in the later years of his life. He may also have founded the nunnery at Eccles, although the evidence for his involvement is uncertain. The chronicler Reginald of Durham relates an anecdote which reflects favourably upon the character of Gospatric. He records how one of Gospatric's tenants at Dunbar was a poor man afflicted with an incurable and agonizing disease. Reginald then describes how, out of his own goodwill and respect for the good works of this man, Gospatric allowed him to live on his lands free of any burdens for the remainder of his life."

Gospatric married Derdere. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

"She may have been the proprietrix of the lands of Hirsel, of which she gave a portion to the nuns of Coldstream." [The Scots Peerage, citation details below.]
