Patrick III, Earl of Dunbar
Patrick III, 7th Earl of Dunbar( 121324 August 1289) was lord of the feudal barony of Dunbar and its castle, which dominated East Lothian, and the most important military personage in the Scottish Borders.
Patrick I, Earl of Dunbar
Patrick I( c.11521232), Earl of Dunbar and lord of Beanley, was a 13th- century Anglo- Scottish noble.
He was the eldest son of Waltheof, Earl of Dunbar and Alina, and succeeded to his father's titles upon the latter's death in 1182.
Patrick was one of the most important magnates to Kings William and Alexander II of Scotland, frequently witnessing their charters and traveling in their entourages whenever they went to the south of England to perform homage to the King of England for the properties in that realm.
Patrick also served as Justiciar of Lothian as well as Warden of Berwick- upon- Tweed.
Patrick held, like his predecessors( who were originally of the kindred of the native English earls of Northumberland), some of his most important lands were in northern England.
Patrick's close association with the Scottish kings in fact got him in trouble, and perhaps because of Alexander II's pursuit of claims to the earldom of Northumberland, Waltheof found himself temporarily deprived of some of his lands by King John of England.
Patrick married( 1) Ada( died 1200), an illegitimate daughter of King William the Lion, by whom he had four sons and a daughter:
His first wife predeceasing him, Patrick married again:( 2) Christina, widow of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale.
No children are known by this marriage.
The Earl of Dunbar died on 31 December 1232.
He was buried at the Cistercian nunnery of Eccles, Berwickshire.
Obata Toramori
He was the father of Obata Masamori.
Gospatric III, Earl of Lothian
Gospatric III or Cospatric III (died 1166) was a twelfth-century Anglo-Celtic noble, who was Earl of Lothian and later the Earl of Dunbar, and feudal Lord of Beanley.
He was the son of Gospatric II, Earl of Lothian (later called Earl of Dunbar).
He appeared for the first time as a witness in a charter representing his father's grant to Coldingham Priory.
After his father's death in 1138, he inherited his father's territories in Northumberland, East Lothian and the Scottish Borders.
He bore the title "Earl of Lothian" on his seal.
The following year "the son of Earl Gospatric and the son of Hugh de Morville and the son of earl Fergus (of Galloway)" were asked to go as hostages in negotiations with King Stephen of England.
He married a Scottish woman called Deirdre, and by her fathered two sons, Waltheof, Earl of Lothian and Sir Patrick de Greenlaw (patrilineal ancestor of the Earls of Home).
Gospatric was a great religious patron, granting lands to many of his neighbouring abbeys.
He even appears to have become a monk himself, and when he died there in 1166 he was probably already part of the monastic community where he was buried, at Durham.
Waltheof, Earl of Dunbar
Waltheof (died 1182), Earl of Lothian or "Dunbar" and lord of Beanley, was a 12th-century Anglo-Scottish noble.
He was the eldest son of Gospatric III, Earl of Lothian by his Scottish wife Deirdre.
Waltheof's grandfather Gospatric II died at the Battle of the Standard in 1138, and Waltheof's father Gospatric III became earl.
Richard of Hexham reported that in 1139 the son of Earl Gospatric served as a hostage to King Stephen of England after the following peace agreement.
It is generally believed, although there can be no proof, that this son was the young Waltheof.
Exactly how long Waltheof would have stayed as a hostage is not known, but Waltheof's father Gospatric died in 1166 and Waltheof was apparently earl already in 1165.
This was probably because Gospatric had retired to Durham as a monk some time before his actual death.
Waltheof's activities as earl included trying to persuade King William of Scotland not to invade England, which William did anyway in 1174; and arbitrating a dispute between the Abbot of Melrose and Richard de Morville.
Waltheof married a woman named Alina, possibly Scottish, and by her fathered three children, Patrick (his successor), Causantín (Constantine) and Helen.
He died in 1182, and is styled "Earl of Dunbar" by the "Chronicle of Melrose".
He was the first man to be called "earl of Dunbar" rather than "earl of Lothian".
Waltheof of Bamburgh
Waltheof was high-reeve or ealdorman of Bamburgh (fl. 994).
He may have been son or grandson of Osulf I and was father of Uhtred the Bold, Ealdorman of Northumbria.
His name is Scandinavian and implies that he had Viking ancestors.
The name 'Waltheof' remained in his family when Earl Siward married his great-granddaughter and named his son Waltheof.
This son of Siward became Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria, and one of his descendant being Saint Waltheof of Melrose.
Additionally, another branch of the family would use the Waltheof name including: Waltheof of Allerdale who was son of Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria.
Waltheof of Inverkeithing and Dalmeny was son of Cospatric, and grandson of Waltheof of Allerdale.
Another descendant of Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria was Waltheof, Earl of Dunbar.
In 1006 Malcolm II of Scotland invaded Northumbria and besieged the newly founded episcopal city of Durham.
At that time the Danes were raiding southern England and King Ethelred was unable to send help to the Northumbrians.
Ealdorman Waltheof was too old to fight and remained in his castle at Bamburgh.
Ealdorman Ælfhelm of York also took no action.
Waltheof's son Uhtred, acting for his father, called together an army from Bernicia and Yorkshire and led it against the Scots.
The result was a decisive victory for Uhtred.
Local women washed the severed heads of the Scots, receiving a payment of a cow for each, and the heads were fixed on stakes to Durham's walls.
Uhtred was rewarded by King Ethelred II with the ealdormanry of Bamburgh even though his father was still alive.

Agnes, Countess of Dunbar
Agnes Randolph, Countess of Dunbar and March(" c." 1312– 1369), known as Black Agnes for her dark complexion, was the wife of Patrick, 9th Earl of Dunbar and March.
She is buried in the vault near Mordington House.
She was the daughter of Thomas Randolph, Earl of Moray, nephew and companion- in- arms of Robert the Bruce, and Moray's wife, Isabel Stewart, herself a daughter of John Stewart of Bonkyll.
Agnes became renowned for her heroic defence of Dunbar Castle in East Lothian against an English siege led by William Montagu, 1st Earl of Salisbury, which began on 13 January 1338 and ended on 10 June the same year during the Second Scottish War of Independence from 1331 to 1341.
