Thomas De Lundin
Thomas de Lundin, often referred to as Thomas l'Ussier or Thomas Durward (), was a 13th-century Scottish nobleman. Thomas takes his name from the villa of Lundie in Angus (not to be confused with Lundie in Fife), and was one of two known sons of Máel Coluim of Lundie (the other was Eóghan). His father had married a daughter of Gille Críst, Earl of Mar. It was for this reason that, after the death of Gille Críst, Thomas challenged the right of his successor Donnchad. The dispute resulted in a division of the Earldom. Although Donnchad kept the title and most of the territory, Thomas and his family received much of the lowland part of the earldom in compensation. Thomas was the hostarius of King Alexander II of Scotland until his own death. It was for this reason that his descendants took the surname "Hostarius" (or Durward). He married a daughter, whose name is not known, of Máel Coluim, Earl of Atholl, and by her he sired at least two sons, Alan Alan may refer to: Peo ...

Máel Coluim, Earl Of Atholl
Máel Coluim of Atholl was Mormaer of Atholl between 1153/9 and the 1190s. The ''Chronicle of Holyrood'' tells us that in 1186 Máel Coluim had an outlaw called Adam mac Domnaill killed at the altar of a church in Coupar, and burned 58 of his associates inside the church. It is possible that this was a son of Domnall mac Uilleim, who claimed the Scottish throne and was revolting against King William I. Máel Coluim is known to have granted the church of Moulin to the Benedictine monks of Dunfermline Abbey. He was married twice. After his first marriage, he married Hextilda, the daughter of Uhtred of Tynedale, an Anglo-Saxon baron. He named his son and successor Henry, perhaps in honour of King Henry II of England Henry II () was King of England The monarchy of the United Kingdom, commonly referred to as the British monarchy, is the form of government used by the United Kingdom by which a hereditary monarch reigns as the head of state, with the ....Anderson, ''Ea ...

Alan Durward
Alan Hostarius (or Alan Durward) () (died after 1264, or in 1275) was the son of Thomas de Lundin, a grandson of Gille Críst, Mormaer of Mar. His mother's name is unknown, but she was almost certainly a daughter of Máel Coluim, Mormaer of Atholl, meaning that Alan was the product of two Gaelic comital families. Alan was one of the most important political figures of 13th-century Scotland, and in fact effectively ruled the country at several points during the minority of Alexander III ( Gaelic: ''Alasdair III mac Alasdair''). Through his father Thomas, he inherited the office of '' hostarius'', protector of the king's property. Alan probably participated in the campaign to crush the insurrection of Meic Uilleim (Mac Williams) in 1228–29. By 1233, and probably before, Alan was given control of Urquhart on the shores of Loch Ness. Alan was almost certainly responsible for the earliest motte phase of Urquhart Castle. At the same point in time, between 1233 and 1235, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
De Lundin
de Lundin (Londres, Lundie, Lundy, Lundyn, Londonius, Londoniis, Lander, Landress or Lenders) is the surname of an old Norman noble family. The family descends from Thomas Londoniis c.1005, whose son William de Londres was one of the 12 Knights of Glamorgan. It is also English (of Norman origin) and Irish habitational name from Norman French de Londres ‘of London’, gaelicized in Ireland as de Londras. Additionally, it is German and Dutch patronymic from Lander, Landress or Lenders. After the Norman conquest they settled in Fife. The family has a long military history, and was one of the most successful families in Scotland for several hundred years before losing power. The agnatic line of the family ended sometime in the 12th century, and survived only via an heiress, a certain Lady de Lundin who married Robert, the bastard son of William the Lion. Robert adopted the family name and it is from this couple that the cognatic line descends. Due to this, in 1679 King Charles II ...

Gille Críst, Earl Of Mar
Gille Críst of Mar is the fourth-known mormaer of Mar, from 1183 to 1203. His relationship to the previous mormaer, Morggán, is not totally clear, but Gille Críst was not the son of Morggán, and so his succession could probably be explained by operations of Gaelic succession, but scholars know almost nothing about the internal functions of Mar in this period. He had two sons, Máel Coluim and Eoin. He also had a daughter, whose name is unknown. Her importance, though, is high, because she married Máel Coluim of Lundie, and their son Thomas Durward eventually contested the inheritance of Mar by the line of Morggán. His wife was Orabilis, a daughter of Ness fitzWilliam, Lord of Leuchars. Her marriage to Gille was her third. She had previously been married to Robert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster, and, secondly, Adam, the son of Duncan I, Earl of Fife.{{Cite web, title=Ness, son of William, lord of Leuchars (d.1178×83), url=https://www.poms.ac.uk/record/person/4, access ...

Lundie is surrounded by several small lochs, whose size has been reduced in recent times by agricultural drainage, hence largely draining the eponymous marshes. Dorward states that in 1203 Walter of Lundie gave of land to the prior and canons of St Andrews. Lundie Castle, now just a few stones, was probably built in the sixteenth century on a hill to the east. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Donnchadh, Earl Of Mar
Donnchadh of Mar (Anglicized as Duncan) is the fifth known Mormaer of Mar, 1203–1244. Donnchadh was the son of Morggán and Agnes. Donnchadh benefited from the introduction of feudal primogeniture as a custom, as it enabled him and his kin to exclude the descendants of Gille Críst, whose contemporary leader was Thomas de Lundin, from the succession. Perhaps in gratitude, he named his oldest son William after King William I William I may refer to: Kings * William the Conqueror (–1087), also known as William I, King of England * William I of Sicily (died 1166) * William I of Scotland (died 1214), known as William the Lion * William I of the Netherlands and Luxembour ..., the probable source of the innovation in Mar's inheritance custom.

Its holders who eventually became hereditary, had the theoretical responsibility of guarding the king's door, thereby protecting the king's property.

However, by the second half of the 13th century, the office was no longer hereditary. This led to many individuals serve as ''hostarii'' during this period.
