Máel Bethad of Liberton
Máel Bethad of Liberton was a powerful landowner in Lothian in the reign of King David I of Scotland. Although he was a Gael, his estate may have been predominantly Middle English-speaking, as it bears the name "Liberton", which, unless it is an improbable Anglo-Romance compound meaning "book settlement" or "free settlement", is a corruption of early Middle English ''hlith bere tun'', "barley hill settlement".〔Alternatively, it may be leper settlement, ''leper tun'', but this is unlikely. see David Ross, ''Scottish Place-Names'', (Edinburgh, 2001), s.v. "Liberton", p. 141.〕 Liberton is about two and a half miles (4 km) south of Edinburgh's Old Town, and is now a suburb. Liberton parish consisted of of land, and it is likely that Máel Bethad owned the upper part of the parish.〔Sir Archibald Lawrie, ''Early Scottish Charters Prior to A.D. 1153'', (Glasgow, 1905), p. 384.〕 Máel Bethad's name occurs as a witness on many of King David's charters, where it is rendered in a number of corrupt forms, e.g. "Malbead de Libertona",〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. LXXII, p. 59, as a witness in a grant to the Church of St. Cuthbert in Edinburgh (c. 1127).〕 "Malbet de Libertune",〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. CXXXIV, p. 101, as a name in a charter of David I granting "Clerchetune" to the Church of St. Mary in Haddington (c. 1141).〕 "Malbeth de Libertona",〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. CXXXV, p. 103, as a name in a charter of David's son Earl Henry granting "Clerchetune" to the Church of St. Mary in Haddington (c. 1141).〕 "Makbet de Libertona",〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. CXLVIII, p. 114, as a name in a charter of King David granting "Ruchale" to Newbattle Abbey (c. 1142).〕 "Malbet de Libertone",〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. CLX, p. 123, as a witness to a charter of King David granting of Dalkeith land to Holyrood Abbey (c. 1144).〕 and perhaps "Macbetber"〔Lawrie, ''op. cit.'', charter no. CLII, p. 116, as a name in a charter confirming the rights of Holyrood Abbey.〕 Two of these names represent a confusion with the name Mac Bethad ("son of Life"), whereas the name is certainly Máel Bethad ("tonsured devotee of Life"); "Life" here is an abstract Gaelic religious concept meaning "eternal life" or "christian immortality".
