Individual:
Per Weis" "Ancestral Roots. . ." (38:26), (53:28), Constable of Scotland. Magna Charta surety. Also mentioned (94:27), (252:26).
Do not know who his wife was. On source (C & R Lin in AM I think) says it was Helen, dau. of Riginald of the Isles. Weis believes it was an unknown de Lacy.
John Philip Wood's,"Peerage of Scotland" (Edinburgh, 1813), vol. 1, pp. 612-13 states : "Alan, Lord of Galloway, died 1233, buried at Dundrennan. By his first wife, whose name is not known, he had a daughter Helen, married to Roger de Quincy [d. 28 April 1264]. . . He married secondly at Dundee in 1209 Margaret, eldest daughter of David, Earl of Huntingdon, brother of Malcolm IV and William the Lion, by whom he had two daughters: 1. Dervegulde. 2. Christian, died without issue 1246. He married thirdly in 1228 a daughter of Hugh de Lacy, without issue." K.J. Stringer, ed. "Essays of the Nobility of Medieval Scotland" (Edinburgh, 1985), p. 49, says Alan married a sister of John de Lacy, Constable of Chester and future Earl of Lincoln, Margaret, daughter of Earl David of Huntingdon, and Rose, daughter of Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster. He does not say in that article why he thinks the first wife sister of John de Lacy; he published an article called "A New Wife for Alan of Galloway" in a journal he cited to me as 'TDGAS'--I don't remember what TDGAS stands for (probably Transactions of Dumfries and Galloway something), and I can't put my hands on the offprint. Several years ago Keith Stringer told me he was preparing an article on Alan for a festschrift for Geoffrey Barrow, but I haven't seen the book. Maybe somebody else can help.
Alan held lands in Lothian, Cumbria (from where he imported tenants), Yorkshire, and the English east midlands; he also gained a title to large areas of eastern Ulster from KING JOHN, who was almost as much his lord as was WILLIAM THE LION." Galloway lost its regal status only slowly. Its ruler, FERGUS, who died in 1161, was frequently called princeps, and once rex; he may, like Alexander I, have married an illegitimate daughter of HENRY I. His successors abandoned the royal styles while retaining some regal attributes. Alan had an ease of manoeuvre and a range of contacts on either the Solway and the Irish Sea that marked him out as more than a baron of the king of Scots. It was only Alexander II's intervention upon his death in 1234, to exclude his bastard son and partition his lands between his daughters, that put a final end to Galloway's royal status; even then its identity survived in a distinctive law-code, whose tolerance of blood feud was offensive in the eyes of a conventional monarchy."
