===Duke of Atholl=== The title Duke of Atholl (sometimes alternatively Duke of Athole) is a title in the Peerage of Scotland held by the head of Clan Murray. It was bestowed upon John Murray, 2nd Marquess of Atholl by Queen Anne in 1703. The following subsidiary titles are currently attached to the dukedom: *Lord Murray of Tullibardine (1604), *Lord Murray, Gask and Balquhidder (1628), *Lord Murray, Balvany and Gask (1676), *Lord Murray, Balvenie and Gask, in the County of Perth (1703), *Viscount of Balquhidder (1676), *Viscount of Balquhidder, Glenalmond and Glenlyon, in the County of Perth (1703), *Earl of Atholl (1629), *Earl of Tullibardine (1628), *Earl of Tullibardine (1676), *Earl of Strathtay and Strathardle, in the County of Perth (1703), *Marquess of Atholl (1676) and *Marquess of Tullibardine, in the County of Perth (1703). The following titles were also held on occasion: *Baron Strange (Peerage of England 1628) between 1736 and 1764 and 1805 and 1957 *Baron Murray, of Stanley in the County of Gloucester, and Earl Strange (Peerage of Great Britain 1786) between 1786 and 1957 *Baron Glenlyon, of Glenlyon in the County of Perth (Peerage of the United Kingdom 1821) between 1846 and 1957 *Baron Percy (Peerage of Great Britain 1722) between 1865 and 1957 Between 1786 and 1957 the Dukes of Atholl sat in the House of Lords as Earl Strange. The Duke's eldest son and heir apparent uses the courtesy title Marquess of Tullibardine. The heir apparent to Lord Tullibardine uses the courtesy title Earl of Strathtay and Strathardle (usually shortened to Earl of Strathtay). Lord Strathtay's heir apparent uses the courtesy title Viscount Balquhidder. The Dukes of Atholl's traditional residence is Blair Castle, though the family also owned several other residences and castles in the past, including Huntingtower Castle, Balvenie Castle, Tullibardine Castle and Dunkeld House. The Duke also commands the only legal private army in Europe, the Atholl Highlanders, whose headquarters are at Blair Castle. ===Dukes of Atholl (1703)=== *[[Murray-790|John Murray]], 1st Duke of Atholl (1660–1724) *[[Murray-3802| James Murray]], 2nd Duke of Atholl (1690–1764) *[[Murray-3807| John Murray]], 3rd Duke of Atholl (1729–1774) *[[Murray-561| John Murray]], 4th Duke of Atholl (1755–1830) *[[Murray-8845| John Murray]], 5th Duke of Atholl (1778–1846) *[[Murray-10439| George Augustus Frederick John Murray]], 6th Duke of Atholl (1814–1864) *[[Murray-10440| John James Hugh Henry Stewart-Murray]], 7th Duke of Atholl (1840–1917) *[[Stewart-Murray-1| John George Stewart-Murray]], 8th Duke of Atholl (1871–1942) *[[Stewart-Murray-2| James Stewart-Murray]], 9th Duke of Atholl (1879–1957) *'''George Iain Murray''', 10th Duke of Atholl (1931–1996) *'''John Murray''', 11th Duke of Atholl (1929–2012) *'''Bruce George Ronald Murray''', 12th Duke of Atholl (b. 1960) The heir apparent is the present holder's elder son, Michael Bruce John Murray, Marquess of Tullibardine (b. 1985).

''' Welcome to the EuroAristo 5 Star profiles list ''' This is part of the [[Project:European_Aristocrats|European Aristocrats Project]] * '''Goal:''' To update high access profiles * '''Who should Join:''' Anyone who is interested in making our '''most viewed Profiles''' the best that they can be * '''How to join:''' Send your request to [[Atkinson-107|John]], [[Athey-67|Darlene]] or [[Utting-102|Amy]] * If there is a 5 star European Aristocrat related Profile not on the list that you would like to work on, contact one of the leaders and they will add it to the list below. == What to do == === Sourcing === * Check that facts are sourced.

[[Category:European Aristocrats Project]] The goal of this project is to clean up profiles on WikiTree related to [[Normandie-32|King William I the Conqueror]], his wife [[Flandre-3|Matilda of Flanders]] and 5 generations of their descendants (including known illegitimate children). It is a mini-project under the umbrella of both the British Isles 742-1499, and European Aristocrats 742-1499 sub-projects. Method: *Starting point is WikiTree 1st May 1217. The below was developed from that. *William and his wife Mathilda are generation "zero". *People whose names are red are however not in Wikitree, but maybe should be. *This first page has 3 tables and contains all grandchildren of William (generation 2), but lines going to generation 5 (the grandchildren's great grandchildren) need separate pages.

[[Category:House of Tancarville]] {{Profile-box|For profiles, please see [[:Category:House of Tancarville|the category]]}} The Normans, or Norsemen, raided the shores of England and France from their homes in Scandinavia. The most prominent of these Norsemen was Hrólf, the Viking. whose name was Latinized to "Rollo" ... Rollo and his followers eventually seized Normandy in northern France, and their possession of the land was later formalized by the Treaty of St Clair-sur-Epte between Charles III of France and Rollo in the year 911. === Lord Tancrède === * '''Tancrède de la Ville Tancrède''' One of the foremost of the Vikings with Rollo was Tancrède. He was with Rollo at St. Clair-sur-Epte, and receiving his reward of the land of and surrounding what was to become Tancarville, settled there and eventually was built a fortified Castle on his demesne, le Ville de Tancrède, located on the first promontory guarding the mouth of the Seine River. This property was an "allodium", signifying absolute ownership by Tancrède, as contrasted with a "fief". signifying lands held subject to the King or another Noble. Tancrède is first recorded as holding his land in 912 and lacking much more information on same, we must speculate that not much more than his Manor House (la Ancien Manoir) and probably, at least some, if not all of the structure(s) along the length of Rabels Fossé, existed in the first two generations, until Raoul (see below), fortified it substantially, with massive walls all around (6 to 18 feet thick), and adding "le Tour Carrée" (the Square Tower), "le Chambre Aux Chevaliers" (the Knights Chamber), and much more, transforming it into one of the most respected Château Forts in the Pays de Caux and beyond. === Tancarville Castle === * '''le Château Fort de la Ville Tancrède:''' "A first castle was founded for a lord named Tancredi who gave his name to the castle fort built on a spur overlooking the Seine to Raoul de Tancarville, Chamberlain of William the Conqueror in the 11th century". (Des Forts, ''Philippe'' - Ministère de la Culture France) From the beginning of the 12th century, Tancarville castle was the seat of one of the most powerful lineages of the Pays de Caux during the ducal epoch, in that of the '''Chamberlains of Normandy'''. This family, grand officers of the crown, were already landowners in the Lillebonne region towards the middle of the 11th century. It was only after 1100 that they took the name of Tancarville and that the castle appeared for the first time in texts. [[Image:Tancarville-6-3.jpg|700px]] The castle was located on the extremity of a triangular spur, detached from the hillsides of the Seine. A large deep ditch separated it from the plateau. From the ducal epoch remains an enormous motte* with the ruins of a large 15th century tower (the “Grosse-tour”), possibly some parts of masonry visible in the toothing stones at the south-eastern angle of the tower, and finally an imposing 12th century residential tower known as the “Tour-carrée” (square tower), which stands at the north-western angle of the enceinte. Looking at the rest of the ensemble, the essential medieval sections are of reconstruction from the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th centuries. - ''Jacques Le Maho'' Bibliography - A Deville, Histoire du château et des sires de Tancarville, Rouen, 1834; J. Mesqui, Châteaux-forts et fortifications en France, Paris, 1997, p. 370-372. : * "From the ducal epoch remains an enormous motte" ... Tancreds' son Rabel, left his name to Rabel's Isle and Rabel's foss, mentioned in early records. The huge Fossé can be seen in the plot plan above, on the right, between the structure and le Boulevard Coquésant ... "... In the quite numerous acts where Raoul Chamberlain, who extended his career until about the year 1080 is mentioned, the name of Tancarville is never attached to his. Raoul is simply referred to by his title, or his parentage; He is Raoul le Chamberlain or Raoul fitz Gerald, never Raoul de Tancarville: The name of land and family did not exist. He has over there, in the whole course of the eleventh century (I mean monuments. ancient that remain), Tancarville is not found once named in the same charter of foundation of the church of Saint Georges de Bocherville near Rouen, which chronicles the donations assigned to this church, on a large number of properties by Raoul chamberlain who had it built, the name is not mentioned." "It is in the beginning of the twelfth century that the name Tancarville appears." "Among the barons who are mentioned as witnesses in a charter of Henry I, issued in 1103, figure William of Tancarville, ... " * ''Histoire du château et des sires de Tancarville'' *'''The Counts of Tancarville''': by ''J.R. Planché'' No identification of this noble Norman has yet been made by any of the commentators on the "Roman de Rou," in which alone we find such a personage included in the list of the followers of the Duke of Normandy. Mr. Taylor says, "M. le Prévost rather inconclusively observes that Ralph, William's guardian, was too old and his children too young to be engaged," and adds, "Ralph's age is hardly itself a competent contradiction to Wace's statement; for his charter giving the Church of Mireville to Jumièges shows that he was living in 1079. William, his son and successor as Chamberlain, so appears in 1082." I certainly do not share the opinion of Le Prévost, and am at a loss to know where he found that Ralph, the Chamberlain of Tancarville, was guardian to Duke William. I have just mentioned this Ralph as the supposed brother of Gerold de Roumare and uncle of the William de Roumare I believe to have been at Hastings. Ralph was hereditary chamberlain of Normandy; but which of his family had first exercised that office is at present unknown. The small Church of St. George, in the village of that name in the forest of Roumare, first endowed by Duke William, was subsequently rebuilt by Ralph, who is styled by the Duke in his charter of confirmation, “Meus magister Aulaque et Camera mea princeps.” (“My major-domo or master of the household and first chamberlain.”) Ralph also had the church re-decorated, and confirmed the grant which his father, Geraldus, and his brothers had given to St. George. A brother of Ralph, named Giraldus, was also an officer of William's household; and it was "Coram Giraldo Dapifer meo" that William, while yet Duke of the Normans, ratified a convention between Hugh de Pavilly and the Canons of St. George, the witnesses being the same Giraldus and Robert his son. Now we have here two Gerolds, one who simply styles himself "a soldier of Christ," and the other the Dapifer (steward or seneschal) of William, King of the English. We also find one of these Gerolds rejoicing in two wives, named Albreda and Emicia, and who has a son, Robert, by the first. The other Gerold had a wife named Helisendis. Whether they were both Gerolds of Roumare; how they were connected; which was the father of Roger de Roumare, and which of Ralph the Chamberlain, has yet to be distinctly proved. The names of Gerald, Robert, Ralph, and William were much too common at that period to be of themselves sufficient identification; but that the chamberlain of Tancarville or Tankerville mentioned by Wace was Ralph, the son of Gerold and father of William the Chamberlain, I think cannot reasonably be doubted. '''''............. need a note here explaining the above''''' .... started below... GERAUD . m. ---. The name of Géraud's wife is not known. '''Géraud''' & his wife had one child: : a) RAOUL . "… Radulfus camberarius filius [[Tancarville-7|'''Geraldi''']] …" are named as present in the charter dated 1035 under which "Willelmus adhuc puerulus" ''(William still a young boy)'', … "Roberti comitis filius" donated "Turstini villa" to the abbey of Préaux". '''Châtelain de Neufmarché'''. Orderic Vitalis records that Guillaume Duke of Normandy expelled "Belvacenses" from "castrum…Novus-Mercatus" and granted it to '''"Geroldo dapifero"''', dated to c. 1061/66. : ''another charter that appears to be related to the above:'' "…'''Gerald de Neufmarché'''…" ''(Giraldi di Novomercato)'', subscribed the charter dated Apr 1067 under which "Willelmus…dux Normannorum…Anglorum rex" confirmed rights to the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire. GERAUD (-after 1066). Dapifer. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that '''"Geraldo dapifero"''' contributed 40 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066. : ''This last recorded event is, I believe, key to helping in the identification of the two Gerolds that Planché suggests above. We know at this moment, that we don't yet have the correct b. date for Gerold de Roumare (currently showing as bef. 1035), which would make him old enough to have donated the church recorded in the charter dated to bef. Aug 1067 on his profile ([[Tancarville-13]]), but not as likely to be yet of the means to have contributed 40 ships to the Conqueror.'' * '''Paintings of the Square Tower''' * '''Armorial général de France for le Chamberlains de Tancarville:''' * '''Histoire du château et des sires de Tancarville:''' === Hereditary Chamberlains === [[Image:Tancarville-6-2.jpg|200px]] In the eleventh century, it was a stronghold lordship which depended Raoul de Tancarville, guardian of Duke William the Conqueror, future king of England. The fact that Raoul was chamberlain of Normandy, and this function has remained in the family, reinforces a simple corroboration of the hereditary nature of this title. The seal shown here is for Robert de Tancarville le Chamberlain, almost 300 years later. * ''Histoire du château et des sires de Tancarville'' *'''The Chamberlain Family ... Ancient & Early Connections''' by ''Ian Chamberlain'' "Known as ‘William the Bastard’ to his contemporaries, his illegitimacy shaped his career when he was young. As a youth he was placed—apparently a common practice in Norse society—for his protection and education in the skills of knighthood, under the guardianship of the Tancarville family living near the river Seine in Normandy. It is from this role that members of the Tancarville family took the name ‘Chamberlain’ and continued to manage the affairs of William and his heir’s beyond his invasion of England through several generations." [[Image:Tancarville-35.jpg|240px]] === le Abbaye Saint-Georges de Boscherville === Guillaume chamberlain confirmed the donation to the abbey of St Georges de Bocherville by Raoul, chief chamberlain of William I King of England, and his sons Raoul, Nigel and Guillaume, and their mother Avicia, with the consent of his sons Rabel and Robert and Lucy, recorded in a charter of Henry I King of England dated 1114. ''(Medieval Lands - Seigneurs de Tancarville)'' The small Church of St. George, in the village of that name in the forest of Roumare ... was rebuilt by Ralph, who is styled by the Duke in his charter of confirmation, “Meus magister Aulaque et Camera mea princeps”.... Ralph also had the church re-decorated, and confirmed the grant which his father, Geraldus, and his brothers had given to St. George. Ralph's brother, Giraldus (de Roumare), was also an officer of William's household; and it was "Coram Giraldo Dapifer meo" that William, while yet Duke of the Normans, ratified a convention between Hugh de Pavilly and the Canons of St. George, the witnesses being the same Giraldus and Robert his son. * "'''Recherches sur le Domesday'''" under d'Abetot : Aumary d'Abetot, an appellation derived from the lands of St. Jean d'Abetot, canton of Calbose, arrondissement of Havre, the lordship of which belonged to the family of Tancarville, as appears from the charter of formation of the college of St. George de Bosherville, to which Ralph Fitz Gerald, in 1050, gave the church and tithes of Abetot for the support of the monks of that college, which was made an abbey in 1124. This Ralph Fitz Gerald, who is the Chamberlain of Tancarville, was the elder brother of Aumary d'Abetot. Their father being the Gerold who was the husband of Helisendis (not Gerold of Roumare, husband of Albreda), and who probably, as Sire de Tankerville, held the hereditary office of chamberlain to the Dukes of Normandy, which we find his son Ralph and his grandson William enjoying in succession*. : * ''This succession of holding the hereditary office of chamberlain has been shown to have lasted over 300 years, well over this if the speculation recorded in the Recherches sur le Domesday, as shown above, that Geraldus was also chamberlain.'' === le Abbaye Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge === "Rabel fils de Guillaume, chambellan de Tancarville, qui avait épousé Agnès, héritière des biens du fondateur de ce prieuré" confirmed the foundation of the priory of Sainte-Barbe and its possession of all its lands "de la Dive", by charter dated 1128 Henry I King of England confirmed an earlier donation to the abbey of Sainte-Barbe by "Odo Stigandus", at the request of "Guillelmi camerarii de Tancarvilla […nepos supradicti Odonis Stigandi] et Rabelli filii sui", by charter dated 1129 Henry II King of England confirmed the possessions of the priory of Sainte-Barbe-en-Auge, including donations by "Rabelli Camerarii…Willelmus camerarius pater eius…Willelmi Camerarii filii Rabelli", by charter dated to 1185/89.

[[Category:House of Wessex]] [[Category: Pre-Norman Britain]] The House of Wessex is a part of the Euroaristo project. The manager is [[Haywood-41|Ros Haywood]]. To help with profiles relating to this House please discuss with Ros. == House of Wessex == The House of Wessex, also known as the House of Cerdic (Cerdicingas in Old English), refers to the family that initially ruled a kingdom in southwest England known as Wessex, from the 6th century under Cerdic of Wessex until the unification of the Kingdoms of England by Alfred the Great and his successors. The scope covers the period from [[Wessex-349|Cedric of Wessex]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerdic_of_Wessex Cedric of Wessex on Wikipedia]) through to [[Wessex-358|Edward the Confessor]] ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_the_Confessor Edward the Confessor on wikipedia]). The House became rulers of all England from Alfred the Great in 871 to Edmund Ironside in 1016. This period of the English monarchy is known as the Saxon period, though their rule was often contested, notably by the Danelaw and later by the Danish king Sweyn Forkbeard who claimed the throne from 1013 to 1014, during the reign of Æthelred the Unready. Sweyn and his successors ruled until 1042. After Harthacanute, there was a brief Saxon Restoration between 1042 and 1066 under Edward the Confessor and Harold Godwinson, who was a member of the House of Godwin. After the Battle of Hastings, a decisive point in English history, William of Normandy became king of England. Anglo-Saxon attempts to restore native rule in the person of Edgar the Ætheling, a grandson of Edmund Ironside who had originally been passed over in favour of Harold, were unsuccessful and William's descendants secured their rule. Edgar's niece Matilda of Scotland later married William's son Henry I, forming a link between the two dynasties. *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Wessex * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_the_Great Alfred the Great on Wikipedia] [[Wessex-33|Alfred the Great on WikiTree]] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_the_confessor Edward the Confessor on WikiTree] [[Wessex-358|Edward the Confessor on WikiTree]] This sub-project deals with persons that were part of the family groups, and descendants, arising from the House. ===Source Material=== Sources: A single source for this period is the Medlands dataset. See http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLAND,%20AngloSaxon%20&%20Danish%20Kings.htm#_Toc389126257. Although there is considerable debate with some members of Euroaristo regarding relevance of this source it can be used as the basis for research and is a good starting point. A major source for this period, particularly pre-Christian, is the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which favours mythology for early ancestors and cannot be trusted before c. 700. There is no reference to Wessex in the work by Gildas (De Excidio Brittaniæ) or in Nennius (Historia Brittonum). Both these sources are available on line. Bede was the first noted scholar to record reference to the Kings of Wessex in c. 720. There is a series of pages that provide context to the period with Wessex noted here: http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsBritain/EnglandWessex.htm This discusses the early legends but is a reasonable source for later Kings.

It varied in size from time to time as land was won and lost and the title varied depending on the land held. It is unlikely to have been known as a Kingdom until the Norse Crown lost control of the "Kingdom" in the 12th Century. McDonaldMcDonald, R. Andrew (2007) Manx Kingship in its Irish Sea setting, 1187—1229: King Rognavaldr and the Crovan dynasty. Dublin. Four Courts Press. ISBN 978-1-84682-047-2. Page 42. states of Raghnall mac Gofraidh: "Some of his successors were grandly styled Rex Manniae et Insularum, 'King of Man and the Isles' ", implying the title had not been used prior to that time, i.e. the early 13th century and there is no apparent record of such in early Norse Sagas. Rather it seems more likely that the "Kingdom" comprised two, or more, parts, each held by a Jarl. Two appear consistently; as the Suðreyjar, or "Southern Isles", which was run, varyingly , from Mann, Dublin or possibly Islay, and as distinct from Norðreyjar or "Northern Isles" of Orkney, Shetland, the Outer Hebrides and Skye, run out of the Orkneys. There are records in both the Orkney Saga and the Chronicles of Man and the Isles of Jarl's noted in the Hebrides, both inner ad outer, and Viking (Raider) Lords being autonomous and operating throughout the region from time to time. The Kingdom comprised of the Norse holdings of the Orkney, Shetland, Hebrides, Skye, parts of Argyll, islands of the Clyde, Isle of Mann, parts of Ireland, Wales and England from time to time. However, certainly by the 12th Century, Orkney and Shetland were held directly to the Crown in Norway. The historical record is incomplete, and the kingdom was not a continuous entity throughout the entire period. The islands involved have a total land area of over 8,300 square kilometres (3,205 sq mi) and extend for more than 500 kilometres (310 mi) from north to south. The history of the Kingdom is recorded in many of the "Sagas" and, particularly the Suðreyjar, at least in regards to the Crovan Dynasty is concerned, is recorded in Chronica Regum Manniæ et Insularum (Chronicles of the Kings of Mann and the Isles). The Norðreyjar, certainly that relating to Orkney and Shetland, is recorded in the Orkneyinga saga, a Norse saga written around 1230 by an unknown Icelandic author. The Norse Kingdom of the Isles is generally regarded as having ended with the marriage between [[Olafsdatter-5|Ragnhilda Olafsdottir]] and [[Macgillebride-1|Somerled]] with the consequent split of the kingdom between his sons and separation from Norway. The Kingdom finally ended as a result of the Treaty of Perth in 1266 with much of the territory becoming part of the Kingdom of Scotland and the remainder held as an Earldom to Norway. Orkney and other parts of Norðreyjar remained with Norway until the 15th Century. ===Rulers of the Kingdom=== ====9th and early 10th centuries==== {|class="wikitable" width="100%" style="border:1px solid #BBB" | align="center" colspan="4"| '''Kings of Mann and the Isles''' |- !Name !Period !Title !Notes |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" colspan="4" | |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| Thórir | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 848 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''Gofraid mac Fergusa''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 853 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Godfrey-676|Gofraidh]] of Lochlann''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Unknown-462562|Ímar]]''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Dublin-16|Amlaíb Conung]]''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|d: 874 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Bjørnsson-230|Ketill Flatnose]]''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 880 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''Ragnall ua Ímair''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 920-21 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| ruled Mann | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Ivarsson-24|Sitric Cáech]]''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 927 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''Gofraid ua Ímair''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 949 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''Amlaíb mac Gofraid''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| d: 941 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|'''[[Sitricsson-3|Amlaíb Cuarán]]''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| ruled 941-980 | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| |- |} ====Late 10th and 11th centuries==== {|class="wikitable" width="100%" style="border:1px solid #BBB" | align="center" colspan="4"| '''Kings of Mann and the Isles''' |- !Name !Period !Title !Notes |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" colspan="4" | |- | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"|''' Maccus mac Arailt''' | style="border:1px solid #BBB" align="center"| ruled 980 -

Brought up, like David I of Scotland, by Henry I of England, he was strongly influenced by the English court, introducing many popular reforms. Latin became the language of court during his reign. He was murdered by his nephews, in 1153, while his eldest son, Guðrøðr Óláfsson, was in Norway giving allegiance to the Norwegian court. The resulting retribution was fierce, even for the day, giving Guðrøðr Óláfsson the nickname "the Black". Guðrøðr Óláfsson, also known (in Gaelic) as Gofhraidh mac Amhlaíbh, faced a dynastic challenge, one which he lost, from his brother-in-law, [[Macgillebride-1|Somairle mac Gilla Brigte]], Lord of Argyll, whose son, as a grandson of Óláfr, possessed a claim to the throne. Late in 1156, Guðrøðr and Somaile fought an inconclusive sea-battle and partitioned the kingdom of the Isles between them and, in 1158, Somairle defeated Guðrøðr, forcing him to exile. Guðrøðr appears in the kingdoms of England and Scotland before returning to Norway. In 1160/1, he distinguished himself in the Norwegian civil wars and was at the final downfall of Ingi at the Battle of Oslo. Guðrøðr made his return to the Isles in 1164, in the aftermath of Somairle's defeat and death at the hands of the Scots at the Battle of Renfrew. However, although he regained the kingship itself, the territories ceded to Somairle in 1156 were retained by the latter's descendants. ====Kings of Mann and the North Isles (from 1163)==== ====Kings of the South Isles (from 1163)==== ===Sources=== * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_the_Isles wikipedia - Kingdom of the Isles] * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rulers_of_the_Kingdom_of_the_Isles Rulers of the Kingdom of the Isles] * [http://www.isle-of-man.com/manxnotebook/manxsoc/msvol22/ Chronicles of the Kings of Mann and the Isles]

[[Category: Luitpold Dynasty]] ==Luitpoldings== '''The Luitpoldings''' were a medieval dynasty which ruled the German stem duchy of Bavaria from some time in the late ninth century off and on until 985. The desendance of the East Frankish Luitpoldings has not been conclusively established. The progenitor of the family Margrave Luitpold of Bavaria possibly was a relative of the Early medieval Huosi noble family and maybe related to the Imperial Carolingian dynasty by Emperor Arnulf's mother Liutswind. In 893 Arnulf appointed him margrave in Carinthia and Pannonia, succeeding the Wilhelminer margrave Engelschalk II. Luitpold was able to enlarge his Bavarian possessions around Regensburg and in the adjacent March of the Nordgau, he became a military leader during the Hungarian invasions and was killed in the 907 Battle of Pressburg. While the Kingdom of Germany emerged under the rule King Conrad I and his successors of the royal Ottonian dynasty, Luitpold's son and heir Arnulf the Bad, backed by the local nobility, adopted the Bavarian ducal title, reorganised the defence against the Hungarian invaders and, according the contemporary Annales iuvavenses, built up a king-like position at his Regensburg residence. He inevitably interfered with the Ottonian King Henry I of Germany, whose rule he finally acknowledged in 921, reserving numerous privileges for himself. Given a free hand, he campaigned the lands of the Přemyslid duke Wenceslaus of Bohemia and in 933/34 even invaded the Kingdom of Italy, in order to obtain the Iron Crown of Lombardy for his son Eberhard, though to no avail. ===Decline=== Eberhard had succeeded his father as Duke of Bavaria in 937, however, he soon struggled with King Otto I of Germany, who had no intention to respect the Bavarian autonomy. Otto declared Eberhard deposed and banned the next year and instead appointed Arnulf's brother Berthold duke, after he had renounced the exercise of the Bavarian liberties. Berthold remained a loyal supporter of King Otto, nevertheless upon his death in 947 the hereditary title of his son Henry the Younger was denied, when the king ceded the Bavarian duchy to his own brother Henry I, who had married Arnulf's daughter Judith. In 976 Henry the Younger received a certain compensation from Emperor Otto II with the newly established Duchy of Carinthia. In 983 he even regained the Bavarian ducal title, however, two years later he had to yield the force of the Ottonian Duke Henry the Wrangler. With his death in 989, the Luitpoldings became extinct. ===Genealogy=== * '''Luitpold''' (d. 907), Margrave of Carinthia and Upper Pannonia, Count in the Nordgau ** '''Arnulf the Bad''', Duke of Bavaria from 907 to 937, had to accept the overlordship of King Henry the Fowler in 921 *** '''Eberhard''', Duke of Bavaria from 937 to 938, deposed and banned by King Otto I of Germany ***'''Arnulf II''' (913 – 954), Bavarian Count palatine from 938 **'''Berthold of Reisensburg''' (930 – 999), Bavarian Count Palatine Judith of Bavaria (925 – 985), married Henry I, younger brother of King Otto I, Duke of Lotharingia 939 – 940, Duke of Bavaria from 948 until his death in 955 **'''Berthold''', Duke of Bavaria upon the deposition of his nephew Eberhard in 938 until his death in 947 ***'''Henry the Younger''', Duke of Carinthia 976 – 978 and 985 – 989, Duke of Bavaria from 983 to 985 An affiliation with the Bavarian House of Wittelsbach is possible though not proven: Count palatine Arnulf II about 940 had a castle built at Scheyern; the descendants of Count Otto I of Scheyern (d. before 4 December 1072), documented as Vogt of Freising in 1047, are rated as ancestors of the Wittelsbachs. * [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BAVARIA.htm#_Toc359834462 FMG entry] * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luitpoldings Wikipedia]

[[Category:Royal Guelphic Order]] The Royal Guelphic Order (German: Guelphen-Orden), sometimes also referred to as the Hanoverian Guelphic Order, is a [[:Category: Hanoverian Orders of Chivalry|Hanoverian order]] of chivalry instituted on 28 April 1815 by the Prince Regent (later George IV). It has not been conferred by the British Crown since the death of King William IV in 1837, when the personal union of the United Kingdom and Hanover ended. It continued to be conferred by the Kingdom of Hanover as an independent state and subsequently, after the defeat and forced dissolution of the Kingdom of Hanover by the Kingdom of Prussia, the order continued as a house order to be awarded by the Royal House of Hanover. Today, its current chancellor is the Hanoverian head of the house, Ernst August, Prince of Hanover. The honour is named after the House of Guelph to which the Hanoverian kings belonged, and its insignia were based on the white horse of that kingdom's arms. In the United Kingdom it has always been regarded as a foreign order, and even before 1837 members of the order were not entitled to style themselves as "Sir" unless they were also created Knights Bachelor as many were. The Order includes two Divisions, Civil and Military. It originally had three classes, but with several reorganizations since 1841, as house order today it has four classes and an additional Cross of Merit. In descending order of seniority, are: '''1815-1841''' Knight Grand Cross (GCH) Knight Commander (KCH) Knight (KH) '''''After 1841''''' Grand Cross Commander 1st Class Commander 2nd Class Knight Cross of Merit '''The Order''' Officers The Order has six officers: the Chancellor, the Vice-Chancellor, the Register, the King of Arms, the Genealogist, and the Secretary. Officers until 1837 The first six officers were: Chancellor: Count Ernst Friedrich Herbert von Münster Vice-Chancellor: Georg Nieper Secretary: Ludwig Moeller King of Arms: Sir George Nayler Genealogist: August Neubourg Register: Sir William Woods Officers since 1987 Chancellor: Ernst August, Prince of Hanover Some Notable members: Field Marshal Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington KG, GCB, GCH, PC, FRS.
