• Notes

  Madach, 1st Earl of Atholl/Athole, so created by 1115, at a time when the earlier Mormaers of Scotland were beginning to be recognised as Earls, the territory under that of Atholl having comprised the northeast section of what later became Perthshire; married (probably 2nd) c1133 Margaret (married 2nd Erlend "Ugni", Jarl of Orkney), daughter of Ha(a)kon, Jt Earl of Orkney and apparently Jt Earl of Caithness, and died c1152, having had issue by his 2nd wife and specifically, apparently by his 1st wife [Malcolm]. [Burke's Peerage] --------------------- The Scots Peerage has the following article: The first Earl of Atholl who appears in actual Scottish record is Earl Madach, or Madeth, who is named as a witness to the foundation charter of the Abbey of Scone, granted by King Alexander I., which is usually said to be granted in the year 1113-14, but was probably after 1116. Earl Madach is described by the Norwegian writer Trof
