=== Roland, Lord of Galloway, and latterly C ===
Roland, Lord of Galloway, and latterly Constable of Scotland, was apparently not the eldest son, but appears as Roland, sonof Uchtred (his most common designation), in the charter of Annandale granted by King William the Lion, which may be dated about 1166, along with his father and uncle. He was also at the Scottish Court in 1180, when he was one of those judges who decided a dispute between the monks of Melrose and Richard Morville, the Constable, then or later his father-in-law. He greatly resented his father's death. but appears to have bided his time until the death of his uncle Gilbert, when he rapidly collected a large force, and swept over Galloway, devastating the territory, slaying the richer and more powerful inhabitants, and seizing their lands, where he plated forts to secure his authority. He also did good service to King William by attacking and cutting short the career of more than one public marauder. But King Henry II of England, who had aspired to be Protector of Galloway, resented this, and was so much in earnest that he marched a large force to Carlisle, while Roland prepared for invasion by fortifying the natural approached to his territory. Was was averted, and Roland was persuaded to meet the two Kings at Carlisle. Peace was arranged, and Roland gave three sons as hostages for his good faith, while King William assigned that part of ancient Galloway, called Carrick to Roland's cousin Duncan, son of Gilbert, which he accepted, renouncing all claims to any rights his father had in Galloway proper.
In 1187 Roland showed his fidelity and generalship by leading a force against and capturing the northern free-booter Donald MacWilliam, called also Donald Bane. He also presided in a court at Lanark, where the judges of Galloway decided in favour of the King's right to enforce payment of his 'can' in that territory. He is named as Justiciar, and also as Constable between 1189 and 1198, and he did not neglect the Churhc, as he founded the Abbey of Glenluce in 1190, besides granting other privileges. The last public act of Roland was to accompany his master to Lilncoln, where, on 22 November 1200, King William swore fealty to King John for his English fiefs. After the ceremony Roland proceeded further south to Northampton where he was then interested in a question as to part of his wife's property, and there died on 19 December, and was buried in the Abbey of St Andrew there. He married Elena (called also Eva and Hellaria), daughter of Richard and sister of William de Morville, and heiress of both, and through her acquired, at William's death in 1196, the extensive estates of the Morvilles, and the office of Constable of Scotland, for all which he paid to the exchequer the large relief duty of 700 marks of silver. Elena survived her husband, and appears in various transactions concerning all her property up to 11 June 1217, when she died. [The Scots Peerage IV:138-139]

Lochlann or Lachlan, (died December 12, 1200), also known by his French name Roland, was the son and successor of Uchtred, Lord of Galloway as the "Lord" or "sub-king" of eastern Galloway.
After the death of his uncle Gille Brigte in 1185, Lochlann went about to seize the land of Gille Brigte's heirs. In this aim he had to defeat the men who would defy his authority in the name of Gille Brigte's heir. He seems to have done so, defeating the resistors, who were led by men called Gille Pátraic and Henric Cennédig. Yet resistance continued under a warrior called Gille Coluim of Galloway.
Lochlann's aims moreover encouraged the wrath of a more important political figure that any of the above. King Henry II of England was outraged. A few years before Gille Brigte's death, Henry had taken his son and successor Donnchad as a hostage. Hence Henry was the patron and protector of the man Lochlann was trying to disinherit. When King William of Scotland was ordered to visit Henry in southern England, William was told that Lochlann must be stopped. However, William and Lochlann were friends, and so in the end Henry himself brought an army to Carlisle, and threatened to invade unless Lochlann would submit to his judgment. Lochlann did so. As it transpired, Lochlann kept most of Galloway, and Donnchad was given the new "Mormaerdom" of Carrick in compensation.
More than any previous Lord of Galloway, he was the loyal man and vassal of the King of Scotland. After all, he owed his lands to the positive influence of King William. Whereas Lochlann's grandfather, Fergus had called himself King of Galloway, Lochlann's favorite title was "Constable of the King of Scots".
Lochlann had led William's armies north into Moireabh against the pretender Domnall mac Uilleim, who claimed the Scottish throne as a grandson of King Donnchad II of Scotland. Lochlann defeated him in 1187 at the Battle of Mam Garvia, a mysterious location probably near Dingwall.
Lochlann, unlike his uncle Gille Brigte, welcomed French and English colonization into his eastern lands. In this, he was following his overlord, King William I of Scotland. Of all the Lords of Galloway, Lochlann is the least mentioned in the Gaelic annals, suggesting that he had lost touch somewhat with his background in the world of greater Irish Sea Gaeldom.
In 1200, he was in the company of King William in England, who was giving homage to the new king, John. Lochlann used the opportunity to make legal proceeding in Northampton regarding the property claims of his wife, Helena, daughter and heiress of Richard de Morville. It was here that he met his death and was buried.

Note: GALLOWAY in the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy
ELLEN of Galloway ([before 1205]-after 21 Nov 1245, bur Brackley). The Annales Londonienses name "Eleyn countesse de Wynton" as eldest of the three daughters of "la primere fille Davi" and "Aleyn de Gavei", naming "Margarete countesse de Ferreres et Eleyne la Zusche et la countesse de Bougham" as her three daughters[1194]. It is assumed that she was not born from Alan’s marriage to Margaret of Huntingdon as her descendants did not raise a claim to the Scottish throne in 1291. This is consistent with the date of marriage of one of her daughters being estimated to [1238]. The identity of Ellen’s mother as her father’s first wife is confirmed by her husband Roger de Quincy holding Kippax (linked to Alan’s first wife as shown above)[1195]. Ellen’s birth and marriage dates are estimated from her daughter who married in [1238] having given birth soon after that marriage. The Liber Pluscardensis records that the eldest daughter of "Alanus de Galway filius Rotholandi de Galway" married "Rogerus de Quinci comes Wintoniæ"[1196]. "Elena quondam filia Alani de Galeweya" donated "villam de Edeluestune" to the church of Glasgow by undated charter[1197].
