Crínán of Dunkeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Crínán of Dunkeld (died 1045) was the lay abbot of the diocese of Dunkeld, and perhaps the Mormaer of Atholl. Crínán was progenitor of the House of Dunkeld, the dynasty who would rule Scotland until the later 13th century.

Crinán was married to Bethoc, daughter of King Malcolm II of Scotland (reigned 1005-1034). As Malcolm II had no son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethóc, and Crinán's eldest son Donnchad I (reigned 1034-1040), became King of Scots. Some sources indicate that Malcolm II designated Duncan as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne.

Crinán's second son, Maldred of Allerdale, held the title of Lord of Cumbria. It is said that from him, the Earls of Dunbar, for example Patrick Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar, descend in unbroken male line.

Crinán was killed in battle in 1045 at Dunkeld.

[edit] Crinán as Lay Abbot of Dunkeld
The monastery of Saint Columba was founded on the north bank of the River Tay in the 6th century or early 7th century following the expedition of Columba into the land of the Picts. Probably originally constructed as a simple group of wattle huts, the monastery - or at least its church - was rebuilt in the 9th century by Kenneth I of Scotland (reigned 843-858). Kenneth I brought relics of Columba from Iona to Dunkeld at the same time others were taken to Kells in Ireland, to protect them from Viking raids. Dunkeld became the prime bishopric in eastern Scotland until supplanted in importance by St Andrews since the 10th century.

While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinán does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society.

The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery. The Cathedral contains the only surviving remains of the previous monastic society: a course of red stone visible in the east choir wall that may be re-used from an earlier building, and two stone 9th century-10th century cross-slabs in the Cathedral Museum.

Sigurd Hlodvirsson, Earl of Orkney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Earl Sigurd Hlodvirsson ("Sigurd the Stout") was the 14th Jarl of Orkney and a key figure in the Battle of Clontarf. He was born around AD 960, and is mentioned in the Orkneyinga Saga and other Medieval sources. According to the 13th century Njal's Saga, Gormflaith prompted her son, Sigtrygg Silkbeard, into getting Sigurd to fight against her former husband, Brian Ború:

"...she sent him to Earl Sigurd to ask for support... Sigtrygg sailed back to Ireland and told his mother that the jarl had joined him."

The 12th century Irish source, the Cogadh Gaedhil re Gallaibh, records the events of the battle. The "foreigners and Leinstermen" were led by Brodir of the Isle of Man and Sigurd, and the battle lasted all day. Though Brian was killed in the battle, the Irishmen ultimately drove back their enemies into the sea. Sigurd also died that day at Clontarf, in 1014.

(Research):Crinan was also called Albanach or Grimus.

Crinan the Thane was also Governor of the Scots Islands, "1045. A battle between the Scots themselves, where fell Crinan abbot of Duncaillen."

EDWARD3.DOC Crinan De MORMAER, Abbot of Dunkeld (975-1045)

Crinan; Lay Abbot of Dunkeld; married c1000 Bethoc, elder daughter of Malcolm II, and was killed 1045 in battle against Macbeth (the historic figure who murdered Crinan's elder son Duncan I, and subsequently is portrayed as having usurped the Scottish throne, most famously by Shakespeare), leaving (Maldred), with an elder son (Duncan I "The Gracious" King of Scots 1034-40; ancestor of the Sovereigns of England and later England, Ireland, Scotland, Great Britain, etc.). [Burke's Peerage]
Crinan the Thane (Albanock, Grimus), of the kin of St. Columba, Lord of the Isles, Governor of Scots Island, Earl of Strathclye, hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld.
The following additional information was given in a post-em by Curt Hofemann, (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX):
Lay Abbot of Dunkeld, Governor of the Scots Islands [Ref: Weis AR7 170:19]
Heriditary Abbott of Dunkeld, or the Kindred of St. Columba [Ref: Royal Highness: Ancestors of the Royal Child by Sir Ian Moncreiffe, 1982, Hamish Hamilton, London Pg 20] note: "or the kindred of" = ? Either was or wasn't... Curt
In what was probably a shrewd political move, Malcolm II married his daughter Bethoc to a representative of the other major center of political power in Scotland, the church. Considering the close ties between ruling dynasties and the offices of major abbacies throughout Ireland and Scotland, it is also possible that Crinan was descended from a king of the Scots, which would completely legitimize his son's rule. [Ref: The Genealogy of the Early Medieval Scottish Kings, Edinburgh by Michael R. Davidson 1995, Holland House, Edinburgh, Scotland]
Malcolm's elder daughter Bethoc married Crinan 'the Thane', lay abbot of Dunkeld. At this period, when Celtic Monasticism was in decline, lay abbots appear to have been as accepted a part of the ecclesiastical structure as they became centuries later on the eve of the Reformation. Crinan was a great nobleman, as his title implies, and he possessed the added prestige of belonging to the kindred of St. Columba. It was from his abbacy of Dunkeld that the new royal House took its name, for Crinan and Bethoc were the parents of King Duncan I...Meanwhile, Macbeth consolidated his triumph by defeating and slaying Duncan's father, Crinan, in a battle at Dunkeld in 1045. [Ref: The Kings and Queens of Scotland] Macbeth...probably a grandson of Malcolm II...asserted his claim to the throne against Duncan I, whom he killed near Elgin. In 1045 he killed Crinan, Duncan's father in battle, but in 1057 he was himself killed by Duncan's son, Malcolm Canmore (Malcolm III). [Ref: A Dictionary of British History by J.P. Kenyon, 1983 Stein and Day, Scarborough House, Briarcliff Manor, NY]
Research note: Supposed father: Since the abbacy of Dunkeld appears to have been hereditary in Crínán's family (his grandson Æthelred held the title), it has sometimes been suggested that Crínán may have been the son of this earlier abbot of Dunkeld whose death is known form both the Irish and Scottish sources [e.g., AU; ESSH 1: 471, 473, 577; KKES 252]. While the relationship is not impossible (assuming that Crínán's father died when he was an infant), there is no known evidence to support it, and it cannot be accepted without further evidence [Ref: Henry Project citing:

Crínán av Dunkeld (død 1045) var lekmannsabbed av bispedømmet Dunkeld, var kanskje også mormaer av Atholl. Crínán var stamfar til Huset Dunkeld, dynastiet eller kongeslekten som skulle styre Skottland fram til slutten av 1200-tallet.

Crínán var gift med Bethoc, datter av kong Malcolm II av Skottland, som regjerte fra 1005 til 1034. Da Malcolm II ikke hadde en sønn var den sterkeste arvelige krav til den skotske tronen etterkommere via Bethóc, og Crináns eldste sønn Donnchad I eller Duncan I ble skottenes konge, regjerte fra 1034 til 1040. Noen kilder indikerer at Malcolm II utpekte Duncan som sin etterfølger under reglene om tanisteri (skotsk-gælisk tana, herredømme) ettersom det ikke var noen annen mulig fordringshavere til tronen.
Crináns andre sønn, Maldred av Allerdale, holdt tittelen herre av Cumbria. Det er sagt at fra ham er det jarlene av Dunbar nedstammer fra i en ubrutt mannlig linje, eksempelvis Patrick Dunbar, 9. jarl av Dunbar.
Crinán ble drept i et slag i 1045 ved Dunkeld.
Crinán som lekmannsabbed av Dunkeld

Klosteret til Sankt Columba av Iona ble grunnlagt på den nordlige bredden av elven Tay på 500-tallet eller tidlig på 600-tallet etter at Columba gikk i land og møtte pikterne. Sannsynligvis ble klosteret først reist som en enkel gruppe med hus av kvistflettverk, men kirken ble ombygd på 800-tallet av Kenneth I mac Alpin (regjerte 843-858). Kenneth brakte relikvier fra Irland for beskytte dem fra angrep av vikinger fra Norge. Dunkeld ble det fremste bispedømmet i østlige Skottland inntil St Andrews fikk betydning fra 900-tallet.

Mens tittelen arvelig lekmannsabbed var en føydal posisjon som ofte ble utført i kun navnet synes det som om Crinán faktisk opptrådte som abbed for klosteret i sin tid. Han var således en mann av høy posisjon både i kirkelig og i det verdslige samfunnet.
Den praktfullt katedralen i Dunkeld, som nå ligger delvis i ruiner, ble bygget i stadier mellom 1260 og 1501, og står i dag på det stedet som klosteret i sin tid lå. Katedralen inneholder de eneste bevarte levningene fra det tidligere klostersamfunnet; en bane i rød stein som er synlig i østkorets vegg som kan ha blitt gjenbrukt fra en tidligere bygning, og to steinkors fra en gang rundt 800-900-tallet som nå står i katedralmuseet.
--------------------
Crínán of Dunkeld (died 1045) was the lay abbot of the diocese of Dunkeld, and perhaps the Mormaer of Atholl. Crínán was progenitor of the House of Dunkeld, the dynasty who would rule Scotland until the later 13th century.

Crinán was married to Bethoc, daughter of King Malcolm II of Scotland (reigned 1005-1034). As Malcolm II had no son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethóc, and Crinán's eldest son Donnchad I (reigned 1034-1040), became King of Scots. Some sources indicate that Malcolm II designated Duncan as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne.

Crinán's second son, Maldred of Allerdale, held the title of Lord of Cumbria. It is said that from him, the Earls of Dunbar, for example Patrick Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar, descend in unbroken male line.

Crinán was killed in battle in 1045 at Dunkeld.
--------------------
Crinan, Mormaer of Atholl was born circa 975 at Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland He was the son of Duncan, Mormaer of Atholl. He married Bethoc of Scotland, daughter of Malcolm II of Alba, King of Scotland, circa 1000 in a Atholl, Perthshire, Scotland marriage. He died circa 1045 at Dunkeld, Perthshire, Scotland, killed in action against MacBeth.

Crinan, Mormaer of Atholl gained the title of Mormaer of Atholl. He gained the title of Abthane of Dule. He held the office of Steward of the Western Isles. He was Lay Abbot of Dunkeld.

The monastery of Saint Columba was founded on the north bank of the River Tay in the 6th century or early 7th century following the expedition of Columba into the land of the Picts. Probably originally constructed as a simple group of wattle huts, the monastery - or at least its church - was rebuilt in the 9th century by Kenneth I of Scotland (reigned 843-858). Caustantín of the Picts brought Scotland's share of the relics of Columba from Iona to Dunkeld at the same time others were taken to Kells in Ireland, to protect them from Viking raids. Dunkeld became the prime bishopric in eastern Scotland until supplanted in importance by St Andrews since the 10th century.

While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinán does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society.

The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery. The Cathedral contains the only surviving remains of the previous monastic society: a course of red stone visible in the east choir wall that may be re-used from an earlier building, and two stone 9th century-10th century cross-slabs in the Cathedral Museum.

Crinan held numerous titles, among which were Of the kin of St. Columba, Lord of the Isles, Governor of Scots Island, Earl of Strathclyde, and Hereditary Lay Abbot of Dunkeld.

Crinan was married to Princess Bethoc, eldest daughter of King Malcolm II of Scotland. As Malcolm II had no son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethoc, and Crinan's eldest son Duncan I (1001 to 1040), became King of Scots in 1034.

Crinan as Lay Abbot of Dunkeld

The Culdee Monastery of Saint Columba was founded on the north bank of the River Tay in the sixth or early seventh century following the expedition of Columba into the land of Alba. Originally constructed as a simple group of wattle huts, the monastery was rebuilt in the ninth century by Kenneth MacAlpine in reddish sandstone masonry. Kenneth gave Dunkeld the Primacy of Columban faith in Alba.

While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinan does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society.

The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery.

In 1045, he attempted a rising against Macbethad in support of his younger son, Maldred, or his eldest grandson, Maél Coluim mac Donnchada, who was living in exile in England under the protection of King Edward the Confessor. The rising was crushed and Crinan killed.

Crínán av Dunkeld (død 1045) var lekmannsabbed av bispedømmet Dunkeld, var kanskje også mormaer (Mormaer er en skotsk tittel som grovt sett tilsvarer norske jarl. En mormaer var hersker som styrte en region i middelalderens Skottland og i teorien, selv det ikke alltid var tilfelle i praksis, var en mormaer kun nest etter skottenes konge, og en senior av en toisech.) av Atholl. Crínán var stamfar til Huset Dunkeld, dynastiet eller kongeslekten som skulle styre Skottland fram til slutten av 1200-tallet.

Crínán var gift med Bethoc, datter av kong Malcolm II av Skottland, som regjerte fra 1005 til 1034. Da Malcolm II ikke hadde en sønn var den sterkeste arvelige krav til den skotske tronen etterkommere via Bethóc, og Crináns eldste sønn Donnchad I eller Duncan I ble skottenes konge, regjerte fra 1034 til 1040. Noen kilder indikerer at Malcolm II utpekte Duncan som sin etterfølger under reglene om tanisteri (skotsk-gælisk tana, herredømme) ettersom det ikke var noen annen mulig fordringshavere til tronen.

Crináns andre sønn, Maldred av Allerdale, holdt tittelen herre av Cumbria. Det er sagt at fra ham er det jarlene av Dunbar nedstammer fra i en ubrutt mannlig linje, eksempelvis Patrick Dunbar, 9. jarl av Dunbar.

Crinán ble drept i et slag i 1045 ved Dunkeld.

Crinán som lekmannsabbed av Dunkeld
Klosteret til Sankt Columba av Iona ble grunnlagt på den nordlige bredden av elven Tay på 500-tallet eller tidlig på 600-tallet etter at Columba gikk i land og møtte pikterne. Sannsynligvis ble klosteret først reist som en enkel gruppe med hus av kvistflettverk, men kirken ble ombygd på 800-tallet av Kenneth I mac Alpin (regjerte 843-858). Kenneth brakte relikvier fra Irland for beskytte dem fra angrep av vikinger fra Norge. Dunkeld ble det fremste bispedømmet i østlige Skottland inntil St Andrews fikk betydning fra 900-tallet.

Mens tittelen arvelig lekmannsabbed var en føydal posisjon som ofte ble utført i kun navnet synes det som om Crinán faktisk opptrådte som abbed for klosteret i sin tid. Han var således en mann av høy posisjon både i kirkelig og i det verdslige samfunnet.

Den praktfullt katedralen i Dunkeld, som nå ligger delvis i ruiner, ble bygget i stadier mellom 1260 og 1501, og står i dag på det stedet som klosteret i sin tid lå. Katedralen inneholder de eneste bevarte levningene fra det tidligere klostersamfunnet; en bane i rød stein som er synlig i østkorets vegg som kan ha blitt gjenbrukt fra en tidligere bygning, og to steinkors fra en gang rundt 800-900-tallet som nå står i katedralmuseet

BIOGRAPHY
Crinán, 'of the kin of Saint Columba', was the direct ancestor of the founder of Clan Donnachaidh. He inherited the abbey-lands of Dunkeld and Dull in Atholl, and seems to have had some authority in the isles around Iona, perhaps as _herenach_ or abbey-steward. His wife, Bethóc, was daughter and heiress of the Scoto-Pictish king Malcolm II. Through her, Crinán's son Duncan inherited the throne in 1034.
