Notes |
- Maldred, son of Crinan the Thane, was born about 1004, and married,
about 1030, Aldgitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland and
granddaughter of AEthelred, King of England, who was the great-great-
grandson of Alfred, King of England. Maldred's successors were,
therefore, directly descended from Alfred the Great. Maldred was
brother, as well as neighbour, of "the gracious Duncan," who was King
of Cumbria for about sixteen years before he succeeded his maternal
grandfather, Malcolm II as King of Scotland on the 25th November,
1034.
He had three sons: (1) Gospatric, who succeeded him; (2) Robert, Prior
of Hexham; and (3) Uchtred, also Prior of Hexham.
Maldred died about 1066.
