Gospatric is the first known sheriff of Roxburgh, a burgh in Teviotdale. His father is thought to have been Uhtred son of Ulfkill.〔Reid & Barrow, ''Sheriffs'', p. 37〕 A ''Cospatricio vicecomite'' ("Gospatric the Sheriff") is mentioned in the foundation charter of Selkirk Abbey.〔Barrow, ''Charters of David'', pp. 58—9; Lawrie, ''Early Scottish Charters'', p. 28; Reid & Barrow, ''Sheriffs'', p. 37〕 The charter was issued by Earl David and probably dates to between either 1120 and 1121, or 1123 and 1124, though it could be as early as 1114.〔Barrow, ''Charters of David'', p. 59〕 A ''Gospatricus Vicecomes'' ("Gospatric the Sheriff") witnessed a grant by David, now king of Scotland, to Durham Cathedral Priory, sometime between April 1126 and March 1127.〔Barrow, ''Charters of David'', pp. 69—70; Lawrie, ''Early Scottish Charters'', p. 55〕 He witnessed a grant of land in Roxburgh to the church of St John of the castle of Roxburgh sometime between 1124 and 1133.〔Barrow, ''Charters of David'', pp. 74—5; Lawrie, ''Early Scottish Charters'', p. 69〕 Although Archibald C. Lawrie was uncertain what sheriffdom Gospatric held, G. W. S. Barrow and Norman Reid believed it to be Roxburghshire because of this charter.〔Lawrie, ''Early Scottish Charters'', p. 278; Reid & Barrow, ''Sheriffs'', p. 37〕 ==See also== * Thor of Tranent * Máel Bethad of Liberton * Máel Brigte of Perth 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「Gospatric (sheriff of Roxburgh)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
