      Godric, son of Chetelbert, or Ketelbern (father of William son of Godric de Emley) is named in 1130 when he was amerced 4 marks on the occasion of the eyre of Walter Espec in this county [Mag. R. Pip, 31 Hen I 33]. Possibly he was the Godric who attested a charter of Robert de Lascy to Pontefract [Chartul. of Pontefr. no.7]. When Dr Burton made extracts from the chartulary of Nyland he found a charter on f.134 by which Godric son of Ketelbern gave to the monks of Byland as much iron ore as would supply one furnace, and also fuel out of the wood of "Emmelay" which gift was confirmed by William his son [Mon ebor. 332]. William son of Godric is frequently named in the records down to 1182, when he made a last payment of 10 shilling in respect of a debt incurred 2 years earlier for having peace "de quadam lege que ei fuit adjudicata" [Pipe roll 28 Hen II 42; 26 Hen II 73]. He married not earlier than 1165, nor later than 1173 Aubreye, daughter and heiress of Robert de Lisours, and widow of Richard Fitz-Eustace, constable of Chester. ... William, son of William son of Godric, was probably of age in 1194, when his mother Abrey de Lisours, released to Roger, constable of Chester the fee of Robert de Lascy, lately deceased. .. The record of a plea in Michaelmas term, 1211, establishes the descent of the old line of FitzWilliam from Ketelbern: "William, son of William son of Godric, demands against Alexander de Crevequer 1 carucate of land in Hopton as his right an as that whereof Ketelbert, his ancestor, was seised as of fee and right the day and year King Henry, grandfather, died, and from Ketelbert the right descended to Godric, and from Godric to William, and from William to the said William, his son. Alexander puts himself on the grand assize."

     Malcom, III Canmor, King of Scotland was born in Scotland. He was the son of Duncan, I, King of Scotland.
Malcolm III (1058-1093): Malcolm "Canmore" ('ceann' means head or chief and 'mor' means great) was the son of Duncan I and went into exile in Northumberland when his father was killed by Macbeth. With English support, he defeated and killed Macbeth at Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire in 1057 and Lulach, Macbeth's stepson, the following year. He founded the dynasty of the House of Canmore which lasted until the House of Stewart. By his first marriage to Ingibiorg (daughter of Thorfinn of Orkney) he had two sons, Duncan II (see below) and Donald. Following Ingibiorg's death he married Margaret, the sister of Edgar Atheling, who would have become King of England if William the Conqueror from Normandy had not over-run the country. By this marriage there were six sons, four of whom (Duncan, Edgar, Alexander and David) would become king. Malcolm made raids into Northumbria and Cumbria but William marched north and Malcolm was forced to submit and sign the Treaty of Abernethy in 1071. A final incursion in 1093 led to his defeat and death at Alnwick. His son and heir, Edward, died in the same battle and Queen Margaret died four days later.

Malcolm III., called Canmore (Ceanmohr, or Great-head), King of Scotland, was eldest son of Duncan, who was murdered by Macbeth in 1039. After Duncan's death Malcolm fled for safety to his kinsman, Siward, Danish Earl of Northumberland, and continued to live for many years in England. In 1054 Siward, with the sanction of Edward the Confessor, led an army into Scotland, encountered Macbeth near Dunsinane, defeated him, and left Malcolm in possession. Macbeth retired into the North, and the contest was only ended in 1056, by his defeat and death at Lumphanan. Malcolm remained at peace with England during the reign of Edward the Confessor, but on the accession of Harold he favoured the attempt of Tostig. After the battle of Hastings he welcomed to his court Edgar the Atheling, with his mother and two sisters, and soon married one of them, the Princess Margaret. In 1070 he invaded England, ravaged Durham, and carried off so many prisoners that for years after English slaves were found in every hamlet of Scotland. This raid was avenged by a more savage and destructive devastation of Northumbria by William the Conqueror. Malcolm agreed to do homage, and Edgar left his court, but he continued to give his protection to the English exiles. Disputes arose with William Rufus, and in 1091 Malcolm again invaded England, but retired without fighting. William invaded Scotland the next year, but peace was made by the mediation of Duke Robert and Edgar. In 1093 Malcolm once more made an incursion into England and besieged Alnwick Castle. He was attacked by Roger de Mowbray and killed in the battle, November 13th of that year. His queen, Margaret, heard the tidings, and died three days later.
     Malcom died on 13 November 1093. He was buried at Tynemouth Priory and again at Dunferminline Abbey or possibly Iona.

     Maldred or Malcolm, King of Cumbria was born say 1000. He was the son of Crinan the Thane, and Beatrice or Bethoc.
Maldred, or Malcolm, the second son of Crinan, is believed to have become King of the Cumbrians when his elder brother succeeded as King of Scots. There is no direct proof of this, and Fordun states that Cumbria was in 1034 bestowed on Malcolm, afterwards Malcolm III son of Duncan I But he was only a child at that date, and it is more probable it was his uncle, the older Malcolm, who was made ruler of Cumbria. Certainly he is found closely linked to that district, which then included Strathclyde as well as Cumberland, by marriage relations and other ties. A recently discovered writ by his son Gospatric, to be referred to later, suggests that he may have possessed in his own right the Allerdale district of Cumberland. Little is known of Maldred's history, and his career was probably cut short in the same battle as that in which his father was slain, in 1045.
Maldred or Malcolm, King of Cumbria married Algitha or Ealdgith,, daughter of Uchtred Earl of Northumberland and Elgiva or Aelgifu (?). He married Ealdgith or Algitha, daughter of Uchtred, Earl of Northumberland, by his wife Aelgifu or Elgiva, daughter of Aethelred II King of England.
     Maldred died in 1045?. Maldred of Scotland (d. 1041) (Regent of Strathclyde).

      Maldred of Allendale had three sons: Robert; Uhtred; Ulkel and one daughter. Maldred, was born in England. Maldred, is claimed as the ancestor of Robert Fitz Maldred, Lord of Raby in Durham, and through him of the Nevills, Earls of Westmorland and Warwick, and other families of that name. He had apparently two sons, Robert and Uchtred.' An Ulkil, son of Maldred, appears as a witness to charters by Cospatric, brother of Dolfin before 1138.' They may have been cousins. He was the son of Maldred or Malcolm, King of Cumbria and Algitha or Ealdgith.

     Margaret Countess of Flanders married Philip Duke of Burgundy.

     Margaret, Princess of Denmark was born on 23 June 1456 in Denmark. She was the daughter of Christian, I, King of Denmark.
Margaret, Princess of Denmark married James, III, King of Scotland, son of James, II, King of Scotland and Mary of Gueldres Queen of Scotland, on 13 July 1469 in Holyrood House, Edinburgh, Scotland. After the marriage James was strong enough to destroy the Boyds. However, his internal problems were not over. His brothers, Alexander, the Duke of Albany, and John, the Earl of Mar were serious conspirators towards obtaining the crown from James. They were arrested on suspicion of conspiring against the crown. Mar died under suspicious circumstances, leading the nobles to wonder what could happen to them if a prince of the realm could be killed. Albany was able to escape from Edinburgh Castle to England where he was received by Edward IV. James tried to reconcile with his brother but Albany again tried to win the kingdom and was, therefore, exiled to France. It was during the reign of James III that a written record of Parliament came into being to be kept in a book, which has provided historians with much information. A third university was established during his reign also.
James was interested in many things, trade, currency, ships and artillery, music and building, and could have brought about a new age within Scotland but he was lacking one basic thing, and that was any element of force in his personality.
James met another challenge to the throne that may have been more serious than that of his brothers. The Scottish lords were totally appalled about James's bisexuality. James became unpopular with his nobles because of the favorites he had at court. He lavished money and gifts, including land, on these favorites to the detriment of others. This may have been the excuse the nobles needed, not that they were so enraged about his sexual preferences, but that of his ineffectual control of law and order. Seeing a way to exact vengeance, the nobles called a meeting in a nearby church when the army was camped at Lauder. There was a loud knocking on the door during this clandestine meeting and in came Robert Cochrane, the King's favorite, lavishly dressed. The nobles were irate. One grabbed Cochrane's gold necklace, while others grabbed his jacket and tied him up. At first he thought it as a joke but then came to realize that the nobles were indeed intent on doing him harm. Some of the Scottish lords went to the King's tent, captured the King and other favorites of James. Ropes were tied around their necks. The story is that when Cochrane realized they were serious, he begged them to use a silken rope. No mercy was shown and all but the King were dragged to Lauder Bridge and hanged beneath. James was imprisoned in Edinburgh Castle for three months. He was released when peace was made. However, he soon reverted to his former ways and gathered his favorites around him. Not being able to tolerate this any longer, the nobles declared war on James. They declared him unfit to rule. He had a new friend, John Ramsay, and conferred an earldom upon him, much to the aversion and displeasure of the Scottish lords. The lords pressed the cause of young Prince James who was only 15 at the time. The young James agreed to support their cause as long as his father was not harmed.
     Margaret died in February 1486/87 in Stirling, Scotland, aged 30. She was buried in Cambuskenneth Abbey, Stirlingshire, Scotland.

     Margery, of Scotland, was the daughter of Alexander, II, King of Scotland.
Margery, of Scotland, married Alan Durward.
Robert, Lord Abbott of Dunfermline, resigned (A.D. 1251). - The Lord Abbot of Dunfermline appears to have been "implicated in the plot of trying to get the bastard daughter of King Alexander II., the wife of Alan Durward, Justiciar of Scotland, legitimized, that she might succeed to the throne, in the event of the death of the boy-King, Alexander III." Feeling that he had done wrong, and having had some misunderstanding with the monks, he resigned his office of Lord Abbot of Dunfermline, and also his seals of office as Lord Chancellor of Scotland, and retired to Newbottle, where he assumed the attire and position of a monk of that Abbey. About the year 1269 he was elected Abbot of Melrose, and died in 1273. (Fordun ii. 68, 216; Chron. Mel. P. 151, 191, 216; Morton's An. Tev. P. 226.)
