 General Notes:
1st Earl of Dunbar. One of the native English lords who at first resisted the Norman invasion. He was afterwards received into favor by William the Conqueror and in 1069 was made Earl of Northumberland which he bought for a large sum of money from the King.
Installed 1068/69 by William I the Conqueror as Earl, then predominantly an administrative post after his payment of a heavy fine or what would not be thought of as an entrance fee (though his hereditary claim through his maternal grandfather also played a part). In October or November 1027, Gospatric was deprived of the Earldon on a charge of having taken part in a massacre at Durham. He fled to Scotland, where his cousin Malcolm III of Scotland granted him the Mormaorship of Dunbar (Burke's Peerage)
Made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1061. 1550
Maldred married Aethelreda England about 1057.1550 (Aethelreda England was born in 1042 in Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland 1550.)
