Donnchad I, Earl of Fife
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mormaer Donnchad I , 1133 – 1154, (anglicized as Duncan or Dunecan), was the first Gaelic magnate to have his territory regranted to him by feudal charter, by David I in 1136. Donnchad I, as head of the native Scottish nobility, had the job of introducing and conducting King Máel Coluim IV around the Kingdom upon the accession of the latter, who was still young, but died soon after.
He fathered his successor, Mormaer Donnchad II.
