Roger of Hoveden described Uchtred of Galloway as a consanguinus ("cousin") of King Henry II of England, an assertion that has given rise to the theory that, since Gille-Brighde is never described as such, they must have been from different mothers. Fergus must therefore, according to the theory, have had two wives, one of whom was a bastard daughter of Henry I of England; that is, Uhtred and his descendants were related to the English royal family, while Gille-Brighde and his descendants were not.(37) However, according to historian G. W. S. Barrow (38), the theory is disproved by one English royal document, written in the name of King John of England, which likewise asserts that Donnchadh was John's cousin.

Gille Brigte or Gilla Brigte mac Fergusa of Galloway (1185), also known as Gillebrigte, Gille Brighde, Gilbridge, Gilbride, etc., and most famously known in French sources as Gilbert, was Lord of Galloway (from 1161 with Uchtred, Lord_of_Galloway; 1174 alone, to 1185). Gilla Brigte was one of two sons of the great Fergus, the builder of the "Kingdom" of Galloway.
