  === Life Sketch ===
  There is no direct evidence of this person's existence but historians have speculated Henry had such an illegitimate daughter.
  
  Several descendants of Fergus of Galloway are referred to as relatives of the kings of England. This has led to various speculation as to the nature of the relationship, which seems to ahve come via Fergus' wife, whose name or identity is not found in contemporary records. Through the course of centuries, she has come to be called Elizabeth, without any historical basis.
  
  Nineteenth century sources woudl identify her, without any basis, as daughter of William II of England, but he had no known children. More recently, a consensus has arisen that she was daughter of Henry I, close enough to be consistent with the claims of a relationship, and known to have had numerous illegitimate children.
  
  Fergus had 3 children, presumably by this wife:
  - Uchtred of Galloway
  - Gille Brigte of Galloway, also known as Gilbert macFergus
  - Affraic of Galloway who married Olaf, King Isle Man
  
  There is some question if Gille Brigte was 'Elizabeth''s son or born of a different mother. Uhtred is specifically identified as a cousin of King Henry II, Henry I's grandson, however, Gille Brigte is not given the same distinction.
  
  Elizabeth's husband Fergus died May 12 1161, it is not known exactly when Elizabeth died.
  
  * Scots Peerage Volume 4, page 136, names her as 'Elizabeth, the youngest natural daughter of King Henry I of England'
  
  * The Magna Charta Sureties, Line 121B and 121C, pg. 119, names her as "Elizabeth(Isabel) yngst illeg dau of Henry I"
  
  * Caledonia or a Historical and Topographic Account of North Britain, Vol. 1, pg. 366, names her as "Elizabeth, the youngest natural daughter of Henry I"
  
  * Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists, Line 38, pg. 46-47, names her "prob. Elizabeth yngst illeg dau of Henry I "
  
  * The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy says Fergus "m. ELIZABETH, daughter of ---."
  
  * Fergus of Galloway in Wikipedia says "There is a considerable amount of evidence indicating that Fergus married a daughter of Henry I (many believe it was Elizabeth Fitzroy)" and names 5 sources.
  
  === Not Elizabeth Plantagenet ===
  Do not call Eluzabeth FitzRoy ...Elizabeth Plantagenet.
  Her father was Henry I who was a NORMAN.
  The Plantagenets were later.......read your history.
  
  === Is this Elizabeth (Isabel) same as Isabel daughter of Henry and Isabel? ===
  93ZD-9G3 and G9K1-QJ1 the same person?
  No I believe they are 2 different people. I have added a middle name to one to help distinguish them
  
  === DO NOT ENTER A MOTHER ===
  Elizabeth's mother is unknown. Please do not enter a name unless you can enter full details of your source

   Note: Ancient Lords of Galloway, information about the life of Fergus of Galloway, including his wife Elizabeth, daughter of King Henry I, and children. Pages 135 - 136 "He [Fergus] is said to have married Elizabeth, the youngest natural daughter of King Henry I. of England, but the authorities quoted by Chalmers, who makes the statement, do not bear out his assertion. On the other hand, Hoveden and Benedict Abbas, both refer to Uchtred, eldest son of Fergus, as a cousin or relative of King Henry n.4 This epithet is not applied to Gilbert, and he may have been a son by a second wife. Fergus had issue as recorded : — 1. UCHTRED, ancestor of the later Lords of Galloway. 2. Gilbert, ancestor of the Earls of Carrick. (See vol. ii.) 3. Affrica, married to Olave, King of Man and the Isles, and had issue."

   Note: Chapter 11. GALLOWAY The province of Galloway included part of Dumfriesshire as well as the earldom of Carrick. Contemporary charters, especially those included in the Liber Sancte Marie de Melros, show that the Norman settlers seem to have obtained "a more insecure footing" in Galloway that in other districts in Scotland, as after two or three generations their names disappear from the documentation where Gaelic names resume their predominance[1117]. 1. FERGUS, son of --- (-[1136]). Lord of Galloway. "…Fergus de Galweia…Uchtred filio Fergus" witnessed a charter dated to [1136] by which "David Rex Scotiæ" granted Perdeyc to the church of Glasqow[1118]. "…Fgus de Galweia…" witnessed the undated charter under which David I King of Scotland donated "decimam meam de meo Chan" to the church of Glasgow[1119]. m ELIZABETH, daughter of ---. Fergus & his wife had three children: a) UHTRED of Galloway (-1174). "…Fergus de Galweia…Uchtred filio Fergus" witnessed a charter dated to [1136] by which "David Rex Scotiæ" granted Perdeyc to the church of Glasqow[1120]. "Uhctredus filius Fergusi" donated "ecclesiam de Colmanele" to Holyrood abbey by undated charter[1121]. "Uctredus filius Fergi et Gunnild filia Waldef sponsa sua" donated "ecclesiam de Torpennoth" to Holyrood abbey by undated charter[1122]. Malcolm IV King of Scotland with "Uhtred filio Fergi et Gilebto fratris eius et Rad filio Dunegal et Duuenaldo fratris eius" confirmed the donation of "terra de Dunroden" to Holyrood abbey by undated charter[1123]. "...Huctred son of Fergus, Gilebert son of Fergus..." witnessed the charter dated to [1166] under which William King of Scotland confirmed the grant of property to “Robert de Brus”[1124]. William of Newburgh names "duo fratres Gilbertus et Uctredus Galwadensis provinciæ dofuini…Fergusi olim principis eiusdem provincie filii" when recording their quarrels [in 1174] and that Uhtred was killed[1125]. Lord of Galloway. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that, in the year in which King William was released from custody, "duce Gilberto filio Fergusii" led "Galwidienses" in rebellion and "X Kal Oct" captured "Ochtredus…filius Fergusii…verus…Scotus", blinded him, cut out his tongue, and murdered him[1126]. m GUNHILD, daughter of WALTHEOF & his wife Sigrid ---. The Cronicon Cumbriæ records that “Alanus filius et hæres eiusdem Waldevi” enfeoffed “Ugthredo filio Fergus domino Galwediæ” with property and “Guynolda sorore sua”[1127]. "Uctredus filius Fergi et Gunnild filia Waldef sponsa sua" donated "ecclesiam de Torpennoth" to Holyrood abbey by undated charter[1128]. Uhtred & his wife had [three] children: i) ROLAND of Galloway (-Northampton 1200, bur St Andrews). William of Newburgh names "fratri nefarie interempto filius Rollandus"[1129]. Lord of Galloway. The Annals of Ulster record the death in 1200 of "Roland son of Uchtrach king of the Foreign-Irish”[1130]. - see below. ii) --- of Galloway (-killed in battle 1185). The Chronicle of Melrose records that he fought with his brother Roland against "Gillecolm" but was killed in the battle together with their opponent[1131]. John of Fordun’s Scotichronicon (Continuator) records that, after the death of "dominus Galwalliæ Gilbertus, filius Fergusii" in 1185, "Rotholandus filius Othredi" fought with "Gilpatricio, et Henrico Kennedy, necnon Samuele" and that "frater Rotholandi" was killed[1132]. iii) [FERGUS (-after 22 Sep 1196). "…Roll constabul, Philipp de Mubray, Willmo de Valloñ, Henr Biset, Thomas de Colville, Adam fil Herb, Ferg fratre Roll, Alexander de Finton" witnessed the charter dated 22 Sep (no year) under which William King of Scotland confirmed the donation of "in territorio de Cliftun" to Melrose abbey made by "Walterus Corbet filius Walteri"[1133]. It is not certain that Fergus was the brother of Fergus of Galloway, but the conjunction of the names (which are unusual) make this probable. If this is correct, Fergus was not the same person as the unnamed brother who was killed in 1185, as Roland is named in the document as constable, an appointment which he assumed after the death of William de Morville in 1196.] b) AUFRICA of Galloway . The Chronicon Manniæ et Insularum records that “Olavus filius Godredi Crovan” married “Affricam…filiam Fergus de Galwedia”[1134]. m OLAV “Morsel” King of Man, son of GODFRED “Crovan” King of Man & his wife --- ([1080]-killed 1153). c) GILBERT of Galloway (-1 Jan 1185).

For some reason this Isabel (or Elizabeth) has been confused with Sybil, queen of Scots, with the abbess Maud, and with another daughter who is said to have been the wife of Fergus, lord of Galloway. Fergus’s elder son, Uhtred, was described by a contemporary English chronicler as a relation of Henry II’s. From this evidence it may be reasonable to assume the existence of an eleventh bastard daughter. A twelfth daughter is also a possibility ...
