Research Notes
- So far, no proof for this spouse.[1]
- The profile of Hextilda FitzAndlaw, attached as the wife of Donald III (Dunkeld) King of Scots, was detached; there is no known source for this person, and the multiple sources consulted uniformly describe his wife as “unknown.” [2][3][4]Perkins-11750 22:28, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
Andlaw fitzHeming kan be found in numerous online family trees, usually with a wife named Guri and a daughter named Hextilda; Hextilda is usually found as the wife of Donald (Dunkeld) King of Scots. Sometimes Andlaw himself is made the son of a Heming Håkonsson, and sometimes he is French while Guri is a princess of Alba.
According to the Monymusk Text from about 16th c. (not old enough to be a reliable source), Heming Grant was the son of Hacken Grant the Protector from Norway, and had six children, amongst them a daughter Gurrie and a son Andlaw/Allon Grant, who became the progenitor of the Grant family. Later (18th c.) researchers attempted to link the Grant family to Norman France.
I suspect the use of French formatted patronymic fitzHeming and making Guri the Scottish Bride of a French noble are attempts at consolidating those two origin theories as well as giving king Donald a bride with Viking blood. Østenstad-1 12:49, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
