  • Notes 


    • Domhnall I, Earl of Mar, also known by the name Domhnall mac Uilleim (A n g l i c ized as "Donald, William's son"), was the seventh known mormaer of M a r i n m e d ieval Scotland, ruling from the death of his father, Uilleam o f M a r , i n 1 276 until his own death sometime between 1297 and 1302. If G il l e C r í st is excluded, Domhnall I is considered the sixth mormaer or E a r l o f M a r.

      In 1284, he joined with other Scottish noblemen who acknowledged Margar e t o f N o r way as the heir to King Alexander III.[1] Domhnall was later a s t r o n g s upporter of the Bruce cause during the crisis of the late 13th c e n t u r y. He was at Norham in 1292, probably in the camp of Robert de Bru s , t h e n E arl of Carrick.
