GILBERT of Strathearn, son of FERTETH Earl of Strathearn & his wife Ethen --- ([1150 or before]-1223). "…Comite Duncano, Gillebrid comite de Anegus, M. comite de Ethoel, Gillecrist comite de Meneteth, Gillberto filio comitis Ferteth, Merlefwano Adam filio comitis de Anegus…" witnessed the charter dated 1164 under which "Malcolmus rex Scottorum" confirmed the foundation of Scone abbey[641]. He succeeded his father as Earl of Strathearn. "…Gillebto comite de Stradtherin…" witnessed the undated charter, dated to after [1170], under which William King of Scotland confirmed the donation of "ecclesiam de Sconin" to St Andrew´s priory[642]. "…Dunec, Malcolmo filio eio, com. Gilleb, Eth filio com. de Leueñ…" witnessed the undated charter, dated to 1193, under which "Dunecanus filius Gillebti filii Fergi" donated "totam terram de Moybothelbeg…[et] de Bethoc" to Melrose abbey[643]. "Gilbertus comes de Stratheryn" donated property "apud Fowlis" to Inchaffray by charter dated to [1195], witnessed by "Matildis comitissa de Stratheryn, Gilbertus filius comitis Gilberti…"[644]. "Gilbertus comes de Strathern" donated "ecclesiam sancti Cathani de Aberruadeuien" to Inchaffray, for the souls of "pater meus Ferthet et mater mea Ethen", by charter dated to [1198], witnessed by "Malis fratre comitis, Gillecrist filio comitis…Dunecano filio Malisii, Maulde comitissa de Strathern…"[645]. "Gilebertus comes de Strathern" donated "ecclesiam de Madernin" to Inchaffray by charter dated to [1199], witnessed by "Malisio fratre meo, Mathilde comitissa, Willelmo et Ferthed et Roberto filiis meis…"[646]. The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records that "Gilbertus comes de Stratherne" divided his county in three equal parts, between the bishopric of Dunblane, the canons of Inchaffray, and keeping the third part for himself and his heirs[647]. "…Gilberto comite de Strathern…" subscribed the undated charter under which "Comes David frater regis Scottorum" founded Lindores Abbey[648]. A charter dated 1200 records the foundation of Inchaffray Abbey by "Gilbertus filius Ferthead…comes de Stradern et…Matilidis filia Willelmi de Aubengni comitissa", for the soul of "Gillecrist primogeniti nostri ibidem quiescentis", the dating clause of which refers to "ad obitu prenominati filii nostri Gillecrist anno secundo, obiit autem III Non Oct", witnessed by "…Robertus de Quinci, Seierus de Quinci, Malisius frater comitis, Willelmus, Ferthead et Robertus filii comitis…Dunecanus filius Malisii…"[649]. The prominent position accorded in the list of subscribers to this charter to the members of the Quincy family (see the document ENGLAND EARLS 1207-1466) suggests a close connection with the family of the earls of Strathearn, which has not yet been explained. "Rogerius de Quinci" confirmed donations of land "in territorio de Gasc", where the men of "domini patris mei comitis Wintonie" pastured animals, to Inchaffray Abbey by charter dated to [1220], witnessed by "Gilberto comite de Stratherne, Roberto et Fergus filiis suis…"[650].

"Robertus filius Gilberti comitis de Stratheryn" confirmed possessions of Inchaffray Abbey by charter dated to [1221/23][652]. These last two documents suggest that Earl Gilbert may have been incapacitated in some way towards the end of his life and handed control of affairs to his second wife and his son.

m firstly MATILDA de Albini, daughter of WILLIAM de Albini ["Brito"] & his wife [Matilda de Senlis] (-after 1210). "Gilbertus comes de Stratheryn" donated property "apud Fowlis" to Inchaffray by charter dated to [1195], witnessed by "Matildis comitissa de Stratheryn, Gilbertus filius comitis Gilberti…"[653]. "Gilbertus comes de Strathern" donated "ecclesiam sancti Cathani de Aberruadeuien" to Inchaffray, for the souls of "pater meus Ferthet et mater mea Ethen", by charter dated to [1198], witnessed by "Malis fratre comitis, Gillecrist filio comitis…Dunecano filio Malisii, Maulde comitissa de Strathern…"[654]. "Gilebertus comes de Strathern" donated "ecclesiam de Madernin" to Inchaffray by charter dated to [1199], witnessed by "Malisio fratre meo, Mathilde comitissa, Willelmo et Ferthed et Roberto filiis meis…"[655]. A charter dated 1200 records the foundation of Inchaffray Abbey by "Gilbertus filius Ferthead…comes de Stradern et…Matilidis filia Willelmi de Aubengni comitissa", for the soul of "Gillecrist primogeniti nostri ibidem quiescentis"[656]. No more precise information has been found about the parentage of Matilda, first wife of Gilbert Earl of Strathearn. From a chronological point of view, it is possible that "Willelmi de Aubengni" was William de Albini Brito, who died in 1168. If this is correct, Matilda must have been born not long before her father´s death as she gave birth to her last child after Oct 1198. It appears that William, son of William who died in 1168, would have been too young to have been Matilda´s father. "…M. comitissa de Stratherr, Malisio fratre comitis, Ferthet filio comitis, Matilda filia comitis…Dunecano filio Malihs…" subscribed the charter dated to [1200] under which "Gilbertus comes de Stratheren" donated property to Inchaffray Abbey[657].

"Gilbertus comes de Stratheryn" donated property "apud Fowlis" to Inchaffray by charter dated to [1195], witnessed by "Matildis comitissa de Stratheryn, Gilbertus filius comitis Gilberti…"[661].

[ETHEN . It is possible that the wife of David de Haye was the daughter or granddaughter of Ferteth Earl of Strathearn and his wife Ethen ---. This is suggested by the undated charter under which her son "Gilbertus de Haya" confirmed the donation of "terciam partem piscarie…de Glesbanin…[et] de Rugesablun" to Lindores Abbey, made by "bone memorie David de Haya pater meus", which is witnessed by "…Malisio de Strathern consanguineo meo…"[735]. If this hypothesis is correct, it looks more likely from a chronological point of view that she was the granddaughter rather than daughter of Earl Ferteth. The name "Ethen" is unusual, and it is possible that the relationship with Malise was through Gilbert´s mother. If the subscriber Malise of Strathearn was the son of Earl Gilbert, this possibility would present no chronological difficulties. If the hypothesis was correct, Gilbert was born from this first marriage of his father. m as his first wife, DAVID de Haye, son of WILLIAM de Haye & his wife Eva --- (-1230).]
