Roger de Albini or d'Aubigny (a 1084) | |||||||||||||||

i. | William de Albini, Earl of Sussex, 2nd Earl of Arundel (d 24.12.1193) | ||||||||||||||
TCP reports that sources disagree as to whether or not there is here an additional generation of an Earl William (which we show). It also reports that "it is certain that" Mabel, sister of the Earl of Chester and often reported wife of the last Earl William, left issue by her husband. | |||||||||||||||

Gilchrist or Dufagan, 'Earl of Angus' (a 1115) | |||||||||||||||
There is doubt on the existence of this Gilchrist/Dufagan. Some sources report that Gilbert/Gillebride was the first to be formally recognised as Earl of Angus. TSP shows the next Gillebride or Gilbert as "the first on record to hold the title of Earl of Angus". It is possible that Gilbert and/or Gilchrist/Dufagan were descended from the ancient Celtic Mormaers of Angus but this has not been confirmed. | |||||||||||||||
1. | Gilbert or Gillebride, 1st/2nd Earl of Angus (d c1187) | ||||||||||||||
m1. daughter of Cospatrick, Earl of Dunbar | |||||||||||||||
A. | Adam, 2nd/3rd Earl of Angus (d by 1198) | ||||||||||||||
B. | Gilchrist, 3rd/4th Earl of Angus (d 1207-1211) | ||||||||||||||
There is some confusion concerning Gilchist's marriages. We follow the suggestions of various web sites but are not sure that they are fully secure. Mackenzie ('History of the Frasers', p6) supports the view that at least one of his wives , mother of Mary Ogilvie, was .... | |||||||||||||||
m1. Marjory (dau of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon, sister of King Malcolm IV & King William the Lion) | |||||||||||||||
i. | Duncan, 4th/5th Earl of Angus (d 1211-1214) | ||||||||||||||

m2. Ingibiorg Ericsdottir (dau of Eric Stagbrellr) | |||||||||||||||
iii. | Magnus II, Earl of Orkney (b c1180, d 1239) | ||||||||||||||
a. | Gilbert, Earl of Caithness and Orkney (b 1210, d 1256) | ||||||||||||||
(1) | Magnus, Earl of Caithness and Orkney (d 1273) | ||||||||||||||
(A) | Magnus, Earl of Caithness and Orkney (dsp 1284) | ||||||||||||||
(B) | John, Earl of Caithness and Orkney (d before 28.10.1312) | ||||||||||||||
A contributor (AF, 14.10.05) kindly suggested the following identity for John's wife, drawing attention to the fact that, according to TCP (vol X, Appendix A), this is as reported by "Saint Clair, p. 351". This is confirmed by 'History of the Frasers' (p36). It was through this connection that Lovat passed into the Fraser family. | |||||||||||||||
m. ?? Graham (dau of Sir David Graham of Lovat) | |||||||||||||||
(i) | Magnus, Earl of Caithness and Orkney (d before 1329)§D | ||||||||||||||

E. | Angus of Angus | ||||||||||||||
i. | Adam | ||||||||||||||
m2. daughter of the Earl of Caithness | |||||||||||||||
F. | Magnus, Earl of Caithness | ||||||||||||||
By reference to dates, etc., TSP makes a case that this Magnus (grandson of John, Earl of Caithness, son of Harald Maddadson) was a son of Gilchrist (whom we show as 4th Earl of Angus) rather than his brother. This may be reconsidered in due course. | |||||||||||||||
