Biography

Notables Project
Uchtred (Galloway) of Galloway is Notable.

Uchtred (22 Sep 1174), is the son of Fergus, Lord of Galloway. His mother was Elizabeth, who may have been the illegitimate daughter of Henry I of England.[1] However, despite the numerous claims and files extracted from Ancestry.com, there appears to be no documentation confirming the parents of Uchtred's mother. The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy lists no last name for the wife of Fergus, mother of Uchtred.[2]

He married Gunhild of Dunbar.[3]

Uctred was murdered in home at Loch Fergus by his brother, Gilbert.[1] (alternative from death location: killed at Loch Fergus by nephew Malcolm, son of Gilbert, his brother).[4]

In my notes of many years standing I have his wife as Gunnilda FitzWaldeof, daughter of Waldeof, Lord of Allerdale, and later Abbot of Croyland. Waldeof's father became Earl of Dunbar but there is no evidence that Waldeof ever used that as a surname.

In the Died line it states killed by his nephew but in the bio it says killed by his brother. Which is correct please.
