  === Life Sketch ===
  Gospatric, also Cospatric, was the son of Maldred of Allerdale and Ealdgyth of Northumberland, daughter of Uchtred the Bold.
  Maldred is identified as the brother of King Duncan I of Scotland and grandson of Malcolm II, King of Scots. Ealdgyth's mother Ælfgifu was the daughter of King Ethelred of England. Thus Gospatric was the great-grandson of both the King of England and the King of Scots. Through his maternal grandfather Uchtred the Bold, Gospatric also has Norse ancestry.
  
  Ironically, his grandfather Uchtred defeated his great-grandfather Malcolm II in his first raids into Northumbria. After Uchtred's death Malcolm was successful in conquering Lothian.
  
  Uchtred the Bold was Earl of Bamburgh and Northumbria, after his death in 1016 the earldom passed through many hands. By 1067 it was held by Oswulf, grandson of Uchtred.
  
  When Oswulf died that same year, Gospatric, who had a plausible claim to the Earldom as a descendant of Uchtred and blood relation of Oswulf, offered King William a large amount of money for the Earldom of Bernicia and the King accepted.
  
  After rising up against King William in 1068, along with Edgar Ætheling and Edwin, Earl of Mercia, Gospatric was stripped of his earldom.
  
  Gospatric joined the invading army of Edgar the Aetheling in 1069 and was able to regain Northumbria, which he held until 1072 when he was once again relieved of his title and properties by William the Conqueror.
  
  Gospatric fled to Scotland, to the lands of his paternal cousin King Malcolm III.
  
  Gospatric served the Scottish king faithfully, helping to restore peace and order in the kingdom. It was he who cleared the band of robbers that haunted Cockburn Forest. For his services he was made Thane (but not Earl) of Dunbar and Lothian, granted the castle at "Dunbar and lands adjacent to it in Lothian and in the Merse" (Mercia).
  
  This thanedom eventually become the Earldom of Dunbar, and later still the Earldom of March, and encompassed vast lands in the Scots-controlled northern part of Bernicia. Gospatric's descendants, kept the Marches between England and Scotland for about three hundred years, until 1435.
  
  Gospatric married about 1057. Most sources do not identify his wife. All that is known with certainty is that she had a brother named Edmund, their paternity however is unknown. There is nothing to indicate she was a 'princess' as some claim.
  
  Gospatric is identified as having 7 children. Some are known to be legitimate children of his marriage. Some are alternately identified as illegitimate or legitimate depending on the source.
  
  The children of Gospatric are:
  - Gospatric, died August 22, 1138 (battle of the Standard, Cowton Moor)
  - Dolfin
  - Waltheof, Lord of Allerdale, also known as Adam
  - Uchtreda (or Octreda), who married Waltheof, son of Gillemin.
  - Gunhilda, who married Orm, son of Ketil
  - Matilda, who married Dolfin, son of Aylward
  - Æthelreda, married Duncan II, King of Scots, about 1094
  
  Gospatric died circa 1075-1080 and was buried in the porch of the church at Norham (Ubbanford)
  
  ------------------------------
  
  Gospatric was named Earl of Northumberland after the execution of his cousin, Earl Waltheof. however, following another northern uprising, William the Conqueror removed him and forced him to flee to Scotland, where king Malcolm gave him lands around Dunbar and perhaps made him earl, though no contemporary record calls him such.
  
  One contemporary record refers to an otherwise unidentified 'Edmund' as uncle of Gospatric's son Gospatric of Dunbar, and it is generally interpreted that Gospatric II's mother was sister of Edmund. The remaining information on Gospatric's family comes from a pair of documents thought to have been prepared as legal notes from two centuries later, and scholars still dispute the degree to which these records should be accepted as reliable. One of these calls sons Gospatric II and Dolfin illegitimate, and states that only Etheldreda and Waltheof were legitimate, born to Gospatric's wife. If correct, this would mean that the sister of Edmund was not mother of these other children. However, this claim was made in order that Etheldreda's descendants could claim to be the right heirs of Waltheof after the extinction of the latter's male line, so its reliability has been challenged. No mention is made of the mother of Gospatric's other daughters, Gunilda and Matilda, or of Dolfin.

  === Multiple constructions for parents ===
  "... often said to have been a son of Maldred son of Crínán of Dunkeld. If correct, Maldred was not the son of Crínán's known wife Bethóc, daughter of the Scots king Malcolm II, as Gospatric's descendants made no such claim when they submitted their pleadings in the Great Cause though according to his descendant, Patrick the Seventh Earl of Dunbar, did indeed make a claim to the throne during these pleadings) to determine the succession to the kingship of the Scots after the death of Alexander III in 1286.[4]
  
  Alternatively, rather than being descended from a half-brother of King Duncan I (Donnchad mac Crínáin), Gospatric may have been the youngest son of Earl Uhtred the Bold (died 1016).
  
  Another reconstruction would make Gospatric the grandson of Uhtred's discarded first wife, Ecgfritha, daughter of Aldhun, Bishop of Durham, through Sigrida, her daughter with Kilvert son of Ligulf.

  Arkil, Gospatric's father, fled to Scotland in 1068 after rebelling against the king. Gospatric remained in England and married the daughter of Dolfin, son of Thorfin.
  
  ~ The Hebden Family
  
  • Background Information. 897
  Gospatric was the son of the than Arkill. In 1068, Arkill, being the most powerful chief of the Northumbrians, made a treat of peace with the Conqueror, who accepted his son, Gospatric, as a hostage for his fidelity. At this time Gospatric was already of age and a had been a landowner in the days of king Edward. Arkill joined Edgar Atheling in a desperate attack on the royal fortess at York where William Malet was governor. They were surprised by the king, many of them slain or taken prisoner, but Arkill was among those who excaped. Arkill's estates were undoubtable forfeited, and Gospatric, likely still a hostage, would have been sacrificed had Gospatric not found favor with the king.
  
  Gospatric was the only Englishman in Yorkshire to have sufficient favor with the Conqueror to be allowed to keep any of his private estate. His lands were divided among his sons, who sunk to be under-tenants of what they retained.
  
  Gospatric married a daughter of Dolfin, son of Thorfin. Their sons were Gospatric, only mentioned by Simeon of Durham, but perhaps the father of Thurstan; Uchlred of Allerston and Kayton, and Dolfin of Staveley and Thoresby.

[Memorandum regarding the Descendants of Waldeve lord of Allirdale, younger brother of Gospatrick (II.) and Dolfin, and of his nephew William fitz-Duncan earl of Murray.] Earl Cospatryk, formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland, had a brother, Dolfin earl of Northumberland, who, both being bastards, had a legitimate brother Waldeve, and a legitimate sister Etheldreda. Waldeve and Etheldreda were of one father and one mother. After Ranulph de Meschinis came to England with William Bastard the Conqueror, that King gave him all the land from the place called Rere Crosse upon Staynmora, as far as the river towards Scotland called Sulewaht [Solway] to the true marches there between England and Scotland. And the said Ranulph was then created Earl of Karliol. Ranulph gained the forsaid Waldeve as an ally on account of the war between the Scots and England, as he was a Scotsman, and gave him for his service the whole Barony of Allerdale, from the place called Wahtelpole as far as Derwent, saving to himself all his venison.
   Page: Identifies 4 children of Gospatrick [does not name their father directly but from the relationships named this can be deduced] Identifies Gospatrick II and his brother Dolphin as the illegitimate siblings of Waldeve Lord of Allerdale and Etheldreda. Identifies William fitz-Duncan earl of Murray as the nephew of Gospatrick II, therefore, further identifying Gospatrick II, Dolphin, Waldeve and Etheldreda as the children of Gospatrick Fitz Maldred Earl of Northumbria (1040 - 1074/75) **This source is important because it conflicts with other sources that identify Gospatrick as legitimate and Waldeve and Dolphin as illegitimate.**

   Note: Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland and first Lord of Dunbar. Allied Celtic lineage of his father with royal stock of Wessex. Born about 1040, said to have accompanied Earl Tosto, Harold's brother to Rome in 1061. Made Earl of Northumberland by King William the Conqueror in 1067. He paid a large sum of money for the honour but had a claim to the dignity through his mother. In the following year he took part in the conspiracy of Edgar Etheling against the Conqueror. Gospatric fled to Scotland with the Etheling, his mother and his sisters, and others. Revolted again in 1069 but made a peace treaty. Deprived of his earldom again on 1072. Fled to the court of his cousin the King of Scots Malcolm III. and was given Dunbar with adjoining lands in Lothian. Died at Ubbanford, which is Norham, and was buried in the porch of the church there. The name of the Earl's wife is unknown, and her parentage has not been discovered, she had a brother, Edmund or Eadmund, to whose lands her son Gospatric obtained a right from King Henry I. They had issue: 1 Dolfin, who is believed to be identical with Dolfon, the ruler of Cumbria under King Malcolm III of Scotland. He was, however, expelled from his jurisdiction in 1092 by King William Rufus, and nothing further is known of him. 2 Waldeve, apparently referred to in his father's writ as 'Waltheof' is usually said to have received from King Henry I, the barony of Allerdale, in Cumberland, but it is now clear that it must have descended to him from his father, being only confirmed by Henry. It is said that his being a Scotsman gained him the favor of Ranulf Maschin, the new Norman lord of Carlisle. This seems to imply not only Scottish sympathies, but ownership in Scotland, and he may have possessed the lands there, held later by his grandson of the same name. He granted some land in Allerdale, and a house for herring-fishery, to the Priory of Hexham. He, with his wife and his two sons, also granted to the church of Brydekirk, in Allerdale, the villa of Appleton and its surroundings. He is named in the Inquisition by Earl David, afterwards King, as to the possessions of the see of Glasgow, made between 1120 and 1124. He was present with King David I of Scotland at Dunfermline, about 1126 or later, and this appears to be the latest notice of him. It has been asserted that he became Abbot of Croyland in 1124 and was deposed in 1138, but there is a good reason for believing that the Abbot must have been another Waldeve. His wife's name was Sigrid or Sigarith, who survived him and married Roger, son of Gilbert. He had 2 sons and 2 daughters: (1) Alan, who had a son Waldeve who predeceased him, and his male line ceased. (2) Gospatric, said to have been a bastard but that is doubtful. died after 1154. One son Waldeve died before 1200, had 2 daughters Christiana (married Duncan Lascelles) and Giliena (married Philip Moubray) (3) Gunnild, who was married to Uchtred, son of Fergus, Lord of Galloway, with issue. (4) Hectreda or Octreda, married first to Randulf de Lindesay, and secondly to William de Esseville or de Esseby. 3. Gospatric, became Earl or Lord of Dunbar, of whom hereafter. 4. Octreda or Ethreda who married Waldeve, son of Gillemin. 5. Gunnilda, married Orm, son of Ketel. 6. Matilda, married to Dolfin, son of Aylward. 7. AEthelreda, who was married about 1094 to Duncan II King of Scots, and became mother to William Fitz Duncan, Earl of Moray, who lived until 1151 or later, as in that year King David I restored to him his honour of Skipton and others. His male line ended in the 'Boy of Egremont' whose heiresses were his 3 sisters. There was another son named Gospatric, but of his history nothing is known.

    Note: GOSPATRICK, son of MALDRED Lord of Allerdale & his wife Ealdgyth of Northumbria ([1040/48]-[1075]). Simeon of Durham names "Cospatric son of Maldred son of Crinan" when recording that he was appointed Earl of Northumberland[1411]. His parentage is given by Roger of Hoveden[1412]. He paid William I King of England a heavy fine so he could succeed as Earl of Northumberland in Dec 1067, although he did have a hereditary claim through his mother's family. He rebelled against King William and joined the invading Norwegians who sailed up the river Humber in Sep 1069 and captured York by storm[1413]: Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus Ricardi filius Eboracensis præsidii custos” was killed, that “Marius Suenus, Gaius Patricius, Edgarus Adelinus, Archillus et quatuor filii Karoli” attacked “munitionem regis in Eboraco”, and that “Willelmus cognomento Maletus, præses castrensis regi” announced to the king that he would be forced to withdraw unless reinforcements were sent, dated to 1069[1414]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Suenus rex Danorum” sent a fleet led by “duos...filios suos et Osbernum fratrem suum” to attack England, that they were repulsed at Dover, Sandwich and Ipswich, and at Norwich by “Radulfus de Guader”, that they were joined by “Adelinus, Guallevus, Siguardus” but defeated on the Humber, entered York headed by “Guallevus...Gaius Patricius, Marius Suenus, Elnocinus, Archillus et quatuor filii Karoli” but were eventually expelled, dated to 1069, a later passage adding that “Guallevus præsens et Gaius Patricius absens” made peace with King William at the river Tees[1415]. In [Oct/Nov] 1072 old charges were brought against him and he was deprived of the earldom of Northumberland, fleeing to Scotland. Simeon of Durham records that he fled to Malcolm King of Scotland who granted him "Dunbar with the lands adjacent in Lothian"[1416]. m ---, sister of EDMUND, daughter of ---. Her family connection is confirmed by the charter dated Feb 1136 under which King Stephen confirmed the donation by "Gospatricio fr[atr]I Dolfini" of "terram Edmundi avunculi sui" and "terram Liolfi filii Uctredi"[1417]. Earl Gospatrick & his wife had one child: 1. GOSPATRICK (-[killed in battle Cowton Moor, near Northallerton 22 Aug 1138]). Simeon of Durham names "Dolfin, Walther and Cospatric" as the sons of Gospatrick[1418]. A memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland had a brother Dolfin earl of Northumbarland…both…bastards", that they had "a legitimate brother Waldeve and a legitimate sister Etheldreda…of one father and one mother"[1419]. It seems more likely that Gospatrick was his father’s oldest legitimate son as his father’s title was transmitted to his descendants. - see below. Earl Gospatrick & [his wife] had three children: 2. ETHELREDA (bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife). A memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland had a brother Dolfin earl of Northumbarland…both…bastards", that they had "a legitimate brother Waldeve and a legitimate sister Etheldreda…of one father and one mother"[1420]. No other information has been found to identify Ethelreda’s mother more precisely. Her marriage to the heir to the Scottish throne does suggest that she must have been legitimate. However, that suggestion appears inconsistent with her sharing the same mother as Gospatrick’s son Waltheof, in relation to whom there do seem to be indications of his illegitimacy whatever is stated in the [1275] memorandum. The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Waldevus filius comitis Cospatricii” enfeoffed “Waldeve filio Gileminii” with property and “Ethreda sorore sua”[1421]. The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Ethreda sorore Waldevi patris sui” married “Doncani comes de Murrayse” and that their son “Willielmus” succeeded his cousin “Alanus filius Waldevi”[1422]. The primary source which confirms her second marriage has not yet been identified. It is assumed that Duncan was Ethelreda’s first husband and Waltheof her second husband. m firstly ([1090]) DUNCAN of Scotland, son of MALCOLM III "Caennmor/Bighead" King of Scotland & his first wife --- ([1060]-murdered Monthechim/Mondynes, Kincardineshire 12 Nov 1094, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife). He succeeded in 1094 as DUNCAN II King of Scotland. m secondly WALTHEOF, son of GILLEMIN & his wife ---. 3. GUNHILDA . The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Waldevus filius comitis Cospatricii” enfeoffed “Ormo Ketelli” with property and “Gurwelda sorore sua”[1423]. No information has been found on the identity of Gunhilda’s mother, nor whether she was legitimate or not. m as his first wife, ORM, son of KETIL & his wife ---. 4. MATILDA . The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Waldevus filius comitis Cospatricii” enfeoffed “Dolfino filio Alwardi” with property and “Matilda sorore sua”[1424]. No information has been found on the identity of Matilda’s mother, nor whether she was legitimate or not. m DOLFIN, son of AILWARD & his wife ---. "Alanus filius Waldevi" confirmed the donation of "unam plenariam toftam apud Scadebuas" made to St Bees by "pater meus" by undated charter witnessed by "…Gospatricio filio Horm, Uctredo filio Uctredi, Ailwardi filio Dolf[ini], Gospatricio fratre suo…"[1425]. "Alanus filius Waldeui" donated land "in Goseford" to St Bees, for the souls of "mea…et uxoris mee Emme", by undated charter, witnessed by "Waltero priore Carl[eoensi], Gosp[atricio] fratre suo. Gospatricio filio Horm, Radulfo de Lund, Uctredo filio Uct[redi], Chetello filio Ulfchil…"[1426]. "Gospatricio filio Horm, Elwardo filio Dolfini, Gospatricio et Walthevo et Horm fratribus suis…" witnessed the undated charter under which "Alanus Walthevi filius" donated salmon at Cockermouth to St Bees[1427]. Earl Gospatrick had two illegitimate children by an unknown mistress or mistresses: 5. DOLFIN (-after 1092). Simeon of Durham names "Dolfin, Walther and Cospatric" as the sons of Gospatrick[1428]. He is named first of the three sons of Gospatrick given by Roger of Hoveden[1429]. He was expelled from Carlisle in 1092[1430]. His illegitimacy is confirmed by a memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland had a brother Dolfin earl of Northumbarland…both…bastards", that they had "a legitimate brother Waldeve and a legitimate sister Etheldreda…of one father and one mother"[1431]. m ---. The name of Dolfin’s wife is not known. Dolfin & his wife had one child: a) UHTRED FitzDolfin de Cungeston [Conistone] . He held land at Conistone in the honour of Skipton and in Burnsall in the Bulmer fief[1432]. m ---. The name of Uhtred’s wife is not known. Uhtred & his wife had two children: i) SIMON . He was ancestor of the Hebden family[1433]. ii) KETEL . 6. WALTHEOF . Simeon of Durham names "Dolfin, Walther and Cospatric" as the sons of Gospatrick[1434]. He is named second of the three sons of Gospatrick given by Roger of Hoveden[1435]. A memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland had a brother Dolfin earl of Northumbarland…both…bastards", that they had "a legitimate brother Waldeve and a legitimate sister Etheldreda…of one father and one mother"[1436]. It seems unlikely that Waltheof was his father’s legitimate son as his father’s earldom was transmitted to his son Gospatrick. The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Ranulphus de Meschines” enfeoffed “Waldevum filium Cospatricii de Dunbar comitem in Scotia” with “tota baronia de Allerdale” and that “Willielmus de Meschines dominus de Coupland” enfeoffed “Waldevum filium Cospatricii” with “tota terra inter Cocar et Derwent”[1437]. "…Cospatric frater Dalfin, Waldef frater suus…" witnessed inquisitions by "David…Cumbrensis regionis princeps", dated 1124, concerning land owned by the church of Glasgow[1438]. Lord of Allerdale. Abbot of Crowland [1126] to Dec 1138, when he was deposed at the legatine council of Westminster[1439]. An undated agreement between Geoffrey abbot of St Albans and "Gospatric the earl" recites that the abbot granted Gospatric and "his son Adam (…formerly called Waldief)" the "land of Archil Morel…Beuuicke"[1440]. “Waldevus filius Cospatrici comitis” donated property to Gysburn Priory, with the consent of “uxore mea Sigrida et filiis meis Cospatrico et Alano”, by undated charter which names “El. filio Erlafi presbyteri cognate meo”[1441]. A charter of King Henry II records donations to York St Mary, including the donation of “villam de Stainburn” by “Walthef filius Gospatrici” and "villam de Saltergh et…de Whyrkingtona" by "Gospatricius filius eorundem"[1442]. m as her first husband, SIGRID, daughter of ---. “Waldevus filius Cospatrici comitis” donated property to Gysburn Priory, with the consent of “uxore mea Sigrida et filiis meis Cospatrico et Alano”, by undated charter[1443]. Sigrid married secondly Roger FitzGilbert. Her second marriage is confirmed by the undated charter under which [her son] "Alanus filius Walthef et Sigrid mater et Rogerus vir eius" donated land "in Aspatrick" to St Bees by undated charter[1444]. "Rogerus filius Gilberti" donated "terram de Walton" to St Bees, with the consent of "uxoris mee Sigeride", by undated charter, witnessed by "Roberto fratre meo…Roberto filio meo…"[1445]. Waltheof & his wife had three children: a) ALAN . A memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar" was succeeded by "his son and heir Alan…under age and in the ward of K. David of Scotland…and on obtaining majority obtained all his father’s lands in Allerdale"[1446]. “Waldevus filius Cospatrici comitis” donated property to Gysburn Priory, with the consent of “uxore mea Sigrida et filiis meis Cospatrico et Alano”, by undated charter[1447].

    Note: Scots Peerage Volume 3 Dunbar, Earl of Dunbar Pages 240 - 241 Maldred, of Malcolm, the second son of Crinan, is believed to have become King of the Cumbrians when his elder brother succeeded as King of Scots. There is no direct proof of this, and Fordun states that Cumbria was in 1034 bestowed on Malcolm, afterwards Malcolm III, son of Duncan I. But he was only a child at that date, and it is more probable it was his uncle, the older Malcolm, who was made ruler of Cumbria. Certainly he is found closely linked to that district, which then included Strathclyde as well as Cumberland, by marriage relations and other ties. A recently discovered writ by his son Gospatric, to be referred to later, suggests that he may have possessed in his own right the Allerdale district of Cumberland. Little is known of Maldred's history, and his career was probably cut short in the same battle as that in which his father was slain, in 1045. He married Ealdgiith of Algitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland, by his wife AElgifu or Elgiva, daughter of AEthelred II, King of England. They had issue: 1. Gospatric, Earl of Northumberland and first Earl of Dunbar, of whom hereafter. 2. Maldred, who is claimed as the ancestor of Robert Fitz Maldred, Lord of Raby in Durham, and through him of the Nevills, Earls of Westmoreland and Warwick, and other families of that name. He had apparently two sons, Robert and Uchtred. An Ulkil, son of Maldred, appears as a witness to charters by Cospatric, brother of Dolphin, before 1138. They may have been cousins.

27. Title: Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Publication: Name: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospatric,_Earl_of_Northumbria;
    Note: Gospatric or Cospatric (from the Cumbric "Servant of [Saint] Patrick"),[citation needed] (died after 1073), was Earl of Northumbria, or of Bernicia, and later lord of sizable estates around Dunbar. His male-line descendants held the Earldom of Dunbar, later known as the Earldom of March, in south-east Scotland until 1435, and the Lordship and Earldom of Home from 1473 until the present day. Symeon of Durham describes Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria, as maternal grandson, through his mother Ealdgyth, of Northumbrian ealdorman Uchtred the Bold and his third wife, Ælfgifu, daughter of King Æthelred II.[1][2] This follows the ancestry given in the earlier De obsessione Dunelmi, in which Gospatric's father is named as Maldred, son of Crinan, tein (thegn Crínán), perhaps the Crínán of Dunkeld who was father of Scottish king Duncan I.[3] Even were thegn Crínán the same as Crínán of Dunkeld, it is not certain Maldred was born to Duncan's mother, Bethóc, daughter of the Scots king Malcolm II. The Life of Edward the Confessor, commissioned by Queen Edith, contains an account of the pilgrimage to Rome of Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria. It tells how a band of robbers attacked Tostig's party in Italy, seeking to kidnap the Earl. A certain Gospatric "was believed because of the luxury of his clothes and his physical appearance, which was indeed distinguished" to be Earl Tostig, and succeeded in deceiving the would-be kidnappers as to his identity until the real Earl was safely away from the scene. Whether this was the same Gospatric, or a kinsman of the same name, is unclear, but it is suggested that his presence in Tostig's party was as a hostage as much as a guest.[4] Harrying of the North After his victory over Harold Godwinson at Hastings, William of Normandy appointed a certain Copsi or Copsig, a supporter of the late Earl Tostig, who had been exiled with his master in 1065, as Earl of Bernicia in the spring of 1067. Copsi was dead within five weeks, killed by Oswulf, grandson of Uchtred, who installed himself as Earl. Oswulf was killed in the autumn by bandits after less than six months as Earl.[5] At this point, Gospatric, who had a plausible claim to the Earldom given the likelihood that he was related to Oswulf and Uchtred, offered King William a large amount of money to be given the Earldom of Bernicia. The King, who was in the process of raising heavy taxes, accepted.[6] In early 1068, a series of uprisings in England, along with foreign invasion, faced King William with a dire threat. Gospatric is found among the leaders of the uprising, along with Edgar Ætheling and Edwin, Earl of Mercia and his brother Morcar. This uprising soon collapsed, and William proceeded to dispossess many of the northern landowners and grant the lands to Norman incomers. For Gospatric, this meant the loss of his earldom to Robert Comine and exile in Scotland. King William's authority, apart from minor local troubles such as Hereward the Wake and Eadric the Wild, appeared to extend securely across England.[7] Gospatric joined the invading army of Danes, Scots, and Englishmen under Edgar the Aetheling in the next year. Though the army was defeated, he afterwards was able, from his possession of Bamburgh castle, to make terms with the conqueror, who left him undisturbed till 1072. The widespread destruction in Northumbria known as the Harrying of the North relates to this period. Exile According to Anglo-Norman chroniclers, in 1072 William the Conqueror stripped Gospatric of his Earldom of Northumbria,[8] and replaced him with Siward's son Waltheof, 1st Earl of Northampton. Gospatric fled into exile in Scotland and not long afterwards went to Flanders. When he returned to Scotland he was granted the castle at "Dunbar and lands adjacent to it" and in the Merse by King Malcolm III, his cousin.[9] This earldom without a name in the Scots-controlled northern part of Bernicia would later become the Earldom of Dunbar. Gospatric did not long survive in exile according to Roger of Hoveden's chronicle: [N]ot long after this, being reduced to extreme infirmity, he sent for Aldwin and Turgot, the monks, who at this time were living at Meilros, in poverty and contrite in spirit for the sake of Christ, and ended his life with a full confession of his sins, and great lamentations and penitence, at Ubbanford, which is also called Northam, and was buried in the porch of the church there. Neil McGuigan has argued that Waltheof's Norman earldom did not extend beyond the River Tyne, and that Gospatric may have continued to rule the territory to the north from Bamburgh until the late 1070s.[10] Issue Gospatric was the father of three sons, and several daughters. That some of his children are specifically identified as legitimate and some as illegitimate, tells us that he was married. The name of his wife is not known, she is identified in some sources only as the "sister of Edmund". The sons Dolfin, Waltheof and Gospatric are named in De obsessione Dunelmi and by Symeon of Durham,[8] while a document from about 1275 apparently prepared to instruct advocates in a land dispute reports that of these three sons, only Waltheof was born to a legitimate marriage and that he was full sibling of Gospatric's daughter Ethelreda.[11] A second document with some "nearly identical" content prepared about the same time names three sisters of Waltheof of Allerdale, Gunnilda, Matilla and Ethreda, their husbands, as well as Ethreda's son William Fitz Duncan.[12] Gospatric's children were: Dolfin, oldest son, received from Malcolm the government of Carlisle. Gospatric who was killed at the battle of the Standard in 1138. Waltheof, Lord of Allerdale and Abbot of Crowland Ethelreda (Ethreda), married Duncan II of Scotland, the son of Malcolm III of Scotland; mother of William fitz Duncan; also married to Waltheof, son of Gillemin.[12][13] Octreda of Allerdale, married Waltheof, son of Gillemin. [14][15] Matilda/Matilla married Dolfin, son of Aylward[12][14] Gunhilda (Gunnild), married Orm of Workington, son of Ketil[12][14] Notes Anderson, A.O.
