Saint Elen
Saint Elen(" Helen of the Hosts"), often anglicized as Helen, was a late 4 th- century founder of churches in Wales.
Traditionally, she is said to have been a daughter of the Romano- British ruler Eudaf Hen( Octavius) and the wife of Macsen Wledig( Magnus Maximus), the 4th- century emperor in Britain, Gaul, and Spain who was killed in battle in 388.
Although never formally canonized by Rome, Elen is traditionally considered a saint in the Welsh Church; she is known as Saint Helen of Caernarfon in English to distinguish her from the better- known Saint Helena(" Helen of Constantinople").

After the death of his father, who left no legitimate sons, King Alexander II of Scotland planned to divide the lordship between the husbands of Alan's three daughters.
Thomas, along with his associate Gille Ruadh, led an unsuccessful rebellion against the king, with the aim of maintaining Galloway's status as an independent sub-kingdom.

Gilla Brigte was one of two sons of the great Fergus, the builder of the" Kingdom" of Galloway.
Henry Wemyss

William Nolan (bishop)
William Nolan( born 26 January 1954) is the current Roman Catholic Bishop of Galloway.
Elisaeus Adougan
Elisaeus Adougan was a late 14th century and early 15th century Scottish cleric.
His name has been said to have occurred for the first time in a papal letter datable to 25 November 1390, but this letter is simply a repetition of another addressed to him, dated 2 August that year; both letters address him as the rector of the parish church of Kirkmahoe, and authorise him to take up the position of provost of the Collegiate Church of Lincluden providing he resigned Kirkmahoe within a period of two years.
This Collegiate Church, previously a Benedictine nunnery, was erected only on 7 May 1389, after a petition of Archibald Douglas(" the Grim"), Lord of Galloway, to Avignon Pope Clement VII.
Papal authorisation came in a letter to the Bishop of Glasgow, inside whose diocese Lincluden lay, which stated: ... as is contained in the petition of Archibald, Lord of Galloway, his predecessors founded and built the monastery of Lincluden, O. CLUN., ... and endowed it for the maintenance of eight or nine nuns, to be ruled by a prioress, while right of patronage remained with the lords of Galloway ... The letter goes into the details of the monastery's problems and decline, details provided to the papacy by the Lord of Galloway, and asks Bishop Walter Wardlaw: to ascertain that these facts be true and having transferred the nuns to a house of the Cluniac or Benedictine order, to erect the collegiate church and hospice ...
He still held both Lincluden and Kirkmahoe on 17 May 1391, when the Pope wrote to him providing him to a canonry and prebend of Glasgow Cathedral.
Elisaeus retained his position as provost of Lincluden until 1406.
In that year he was elected and received papal provision to the vacant diocese of Galloway.
This election was ascribed by historian Michael Brown to the influence of the Lord of Galloway, now Archibald Douglas II.
In a lost MacDowall charter, witnessed by Robert Keith and datable to 1412, he was said to have been in his seventh year of consecration.
Nothing more is known about Elisaeus's career as Bishop of Galloway; the time of his death is not known either, but he died sometime before 14 June 1415, when there occurs the earliest evidence that a successor for Galloway was needed.
Alan of Galloway
Alan of Galloway (before 1199 – 1234), also known as Alan fitz Roland, was a leading thirteenth-century Scottish magnate.
As the hereditary Lord of Galloway and Constable of Scotland, he was one of the most influential men in the Kingdom of Scotland and Irish Sea zone.
Alan first appears in courtly circles in about 1200, about the time he inherited his father's possessions and offices.
After he secured his mother's inheritance almost two decades later, Alan became one of the most powerful magnates in the Scottish realm.
Alan also held lands in the Kingdom of England, and was an advisor of John, King of England concerning "Magna Carta".
Alan later played a considerable part in Alexander II, King of Scotland's northern English ambitions during the violent aftermath of John's repudiation of "Magna Carta".
Alan participated in the English colonisation of Ulster, receiving a massive grant in the region from the English king, and simultaneously aided the Scottish crown against rebel claimants in the western and northern peripheries of the Scottish realm.
Alan entered into a vicious inter-dynastic struggle for control of the Kingdom of the Isles, supporting one of his kinsmen against another.
Alan's involvement in the Isles, a region under nominal Norwegian authority, provoked a massive military response by Hákon Hákonarson, King of Norway, causing a severe crisis for the Scottish crown.
As ruler of the semi-autonomous Lordship of Galloway, Alan was courted by the Scottish and English kings for his remarkable military might, and was noted in Norse saga-accounts as one of the greatest warriors of his time.
Like other members of his family, he was a generous religious patron.
Alan died in February 1234.
Although under the traditional Celtic custom of Galloway, Alan's illegitimate son could have succeeded to the Lordship of Galloway, under the feudal custom of the Scottish realm, Alan's nearest heirs were his surviving daughters.
Using Alan's death as an opportunity to further integrate Galloway within his realm, Alexander forced the partition of the lordship amongst Alan's daughters.
Alan was the last legitimate ruler of Galloway, descending from the native dynasty of Fergus, Lord of Galloway.
Uhtred of Galloway
Uchtred mac Fergusa( – 22 September 1174) was Lord of Galloway from 1161 to 1174, ruling jointly with his half- brother Gille Brigte( Gilbert).
They were sons of Fergus of Galloway; their mothers' names are unknown, but Uchtred may have been born to one of the many illegitimate daughters of Henry I of England.
As a boy he was sent as a hostage to the court of King Malcolm IV of Scotland.
When his father, Prince Fergus, died in 1161, Uchtred was made co-ruler of Galloway along with Gilla Brigte.
They participated in the disastrous invasion of Northumberland under William I of Scotland in 1174.
King William was captured, and the Galwegians rebelled, taking the opportunity to slaughter the Normans and English in their land.
During this time Uchtred was brutally mutilated, blinded, castrated, and killed by his brother Gille Brigte and Gille Brigte's son, Máel Coluim.
Gille Brigte then seized control of the whole of Galloway.
Uchtred had married Gunhilda of Dunbar, daughter of Waltheof of Allerdale and they were the parents of Lochlann and Eve of Galloway, wife of Walter de Berkeley.
