Gille Críst is the first known Mormaer (in Scotland, a regional or provincial ruler, equivalent to Latin ''comes'', French ''comte'' and English ''earl'') of Menteith, but almost certainly not actually the first. He is named in a charter of King Máel Coluim IV, dated to 1164, regarding the restoration of Scone Priory, which had recently been destroyed by fire. He appears again in a charter of King William the Lion, dated 1175x1178, as one of the witnesses to a grant of privileges to the newly established burgh of Glasgow. Gille Críst had two known sons, Muireadhach Mór and Muireadhach Óg. He also had a daughter, Éua, who married Ailín II, Earl of Lennox. Gille Críst had died by 1189x1198, when Muireadhach Mór appears as Mormaer for the first time. ==Bibliography== * Paul, James Balfour, ''The Scots Peerage'', Vol. VI, (Edinburgh, 1909) * Roberts, John L., ''Lost Kingdoms: Celtic Scotland in the Middle Ages'', (Edinburgh, 1997), pp. 52 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gille Críst, Earl of Menteith」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
