Notes:

Robert of Strathearn (died c. 1244) is the 4th Earl of Strathearn in Scotland.

Robert was the fourth son of Gille Brigte of Strathearn and his wife Matilda. He first appears on record in 1199, when he and his brothers were witnesses to their father's charters to the Abbey of Inchaffray. By 1210, all three of his elder brothers had died, and he became heir to the earldom of Strathearn. In 1219 he confirmed as heir-apparent all his father's grants to the abbey, and after his accession as earl around 1223, he made a vow never to disturb the monks in their possessions.

Aside from his taking part in the abbey's affairs, he appears in a wider sphere in 1237, when he travelled to York with King Alexander, to negotiate the Treaty of York with Henry III of England.

Earl Robert died before April 1244.

«b»Marriage and progeny«/b»
Earl Robert's wife, named Matilda 1178-1247. They had three sons and two daughters:

1.) Malise II of Strathearn, who succeeded as Earl

2.) Hugh, who became a friar and died c. 1290

3.) Gille Brigte/Gilbert, who acquired the lands of Durie and Belnollo in Fife, become the progenitor of the Duries of that Ilk

4.) Annabella, who married firstly John of Restalrig, and secondly Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine, who was killed at the Battle of Dunbar

5.) Mary, married Sir John Johnstone

"Robert of Strathearn, who ruled Strathearn 1223–1245, is the fourth known Mormaer of Strathearn, but of course this is simply a source problem and certainly does not mean that he actually was the fourth.

"Robert was the fourth son of Mormaer Gille Brigte and his wife Matilda daughter of William de Aubingy. His three elder brothers appear to be deceased by circa 1210 when Robert was designed son and heir of Gilbert earl of Strathearn when witnessing his father's charter of St Bean of Fowlis to the Priory of Incharrfay. [1] He had witnessed his father's charters with his elder brothers from 1199 to that date.[2]

About 1220 Robert son of Gilbert earl of Strathearn confirmed to the canons of Inchaffray all the gifts which his father made to them, namely the lands of Craig, Ardunie, Ardbennie, Dubheads, Williamstone and Bellyclone, three acres of land next to the marsh of Fowlis towards the east, the 'toun' of Rahallo, as much of the marsh of Fowlis adjacent to the Isle of Masses (Insule Missarum) as was surrounded by a trench in the year 1219, a mill on the River Earn at Dunfallin which they built next to the earl's own mill and had been using since 1219; to be held by the canons as the charters of earl Gilbert bear witness. He also confirmed to the convent the churches which his father granted them, namely St Patrick of Strageath, St Serf of Dunning, St Bean of Fowlis St Bean of Kinkell, St Kessog of Auchterarder, St Serf of Monzievaird, St Serf of Tullieden, St Brigit of Kilbride and St Ethernan of Madderty.[3]

Robert succeeded to the earldom of Strathearn about 1223 on the death of his father.

Robert earl of Strathearn confirmed to his sister Cecilia and her husband Walter son of Alan the grant which earl Gilbert made to them of the land of Coulgask; to be held of earl Robert and his heirs in feu and heritage according to the terms of the charter of earl Gilbert,[4]

About 1230 Robert earl of Strathearn witnessed th charter of confirmation made by his brother Fergus regarding the gift their uncle Malise had made to Arbroath Abbey.[5]

Sir Robert earl of Strathearn about 1230 granted to the Abbey of Coupar Angus a full bovate of land in the territory of Meikleour (in Strathtay), for the upkeep of the bridge on the River Isla.[6]

Earl Robert about 1233 confirmed to the convent of the Abbey of Lindores the gift in alms which his brother Sir Fergus made to them of the 'toun' of Bennie.[7] About 1235 he announced also to the Abbey of Lindores that he held firm the undertaking of his father, earl Gilbert, to make the hosting of the lord king for the land of Exmagirdle (near Bridge of Earn).[8] [9]

The lands of Barry belonged to the Abbey of Balmerino but its church with its revenues to Arbroath. This led to complications regarding the gathering of tithes. Arbroath surrendered these to Balmerino and on 25 Dec 1235 Alexander II bestowed four and three quarters davoch of the lands of Tarves to compensate Arbroath Abbey. Robert earl of Strathearn was among the witnesses who were in the king's company that Christmas Day in St Andrews.[10]

Not much is known of his reign, but we do know that in 1237 he travelled to York as part of the Scottish delegation who negotiated the Treaty of York. [11][12]

It seems he largely confined himself to his comital demesne, which would explain his conspicuous absence from the civil records, despite a relatively long reign.

Robert married a daughter of Hugh de Moravia (or Sir Hugh Freskin) by a daughter of Duncan, Earl of Fife (this identification made by Andrew B. W. MacEwen). Her maritagium evidently included lands in Durie, Fife later granted by Reynold le Cheyne to their son Gilbert. Their issue included:

Maol Íosa II
Hugh
Gilbert
Annabelle, who married Sir John de Restalrig & Sir Patrick Graham of Kincardine
Mary mar. Sir John Johnstone.
Matilda mar. Alexander earl of Menteith.

Other sources

Hugh, son of William, son of Freskin, styled also Hugh Freskin and Hugh de Moravia, appears under the first designation in various charters from 1195, frequently along with his brother William, who also in a charter about 1200, already cited, styles him lord and brother. He inherited the lands of Duffus and Strabrock, and Brice, Bishop of Moray, granted to him, as Lord of Duffus (between 1203 and 1214), a free chapel in his castle of Duffus.[1] Some time before 1211 he had acquired, by grant or otherwise, a large tract of land in Sutherland. How extensive that was does not appear, but it included Skelbo, in Dornoch parish, on one side, and the greater portion of Creich parish on the other, and perhaps was identical with the later earldom. In any case he granted Skelbo, and the lands of Invershin and Fernebucklyn to Gilbert de Moravia, Archdeacon of Moray, who afterwards gave them to his own brother Richard. Hugh Freskin died possibly before 1214, but certainly before 1222, at which date his son William had succeeded, and he was buried in the church of Duffus. He is called, perhaps on account of his benefactions to the Church, the blessed Hugh, and seems to have been honoured with canonisation. The name of his wife is not known, but he had three sons:--

1. William, son and heir, who became Lord and Earl of Sutherland.
2. Walter, who succeeded to the lands of Duffus, and married Euphemia, daughter of Ferquhard, Earl of Ross. He died about 1263, and was buried at Duffus. His line ended in two heiresses, and his estates finally passed to the Keiths of Inverugie and Sutherlands of Duffus.
3. Andrew, designed son of Hugh de Moravia in the charter already cited, of the chaplainry of Duffus, between 1203 and 1214. He was then parson of Duffus, and in 1222 he was elected Bishop of Moray. In his time the cathedral of Moray was removed to Elgin, and he may have built, or at least commenced the erection of, the cathedral church. He died in 1242.

Battle of John o' Groats; Chief Hugh de Moravia, grandson of progenitor Freskin de Moravia is said to have strengthened the family's royal favor by ridding the north of a ferocious band of robbers led by Harold Chisholm. Among the crimes, a number of Sutherland churchmen were tortured by nailing horseshoes to their feet and making them dance to entertain the followers before putting them savagely to death. On hearing of this outrage, King William I of Scotland (William the Lion) ordered chief Hugh of Sutherland to pursue Chisolm to the death and a great fight ensued near John o' Groats. All of the robbers were either killed or captured. Harold Chisolm and the other leaders were given a punishment to fit the crime, horse shoeing and hanging. The rest were gelded to prevent any offspring from men who were so detestable. This seems to have been a frequent punishment of the time. In 1198 an entire sept of the Sinclairs were castrated for the killing of the Bishop of Caithness.

Rebellion of the Sinclairs 1222; The trouble was over tithes imposed by the Bishop of Caithness whose seat was at Dornoch. The Clan Sinclair Earls of Caithness had long resented the fact that the bishopric was under Sutherland control and decided to exploit the discontent over tithes to get rid of the bishop and have the seat moved. There was soon a riot, said to be incited by Sinclair gold. The unfortunate bishop was roasted alive and his cathedral was set on fire. The rioters then headed north to join up with their Sinclair allies. Once again the Lord of Sutherland was given responsibility by the crown for restoring law and order, and for punishing Sinclair for his instigation of the incident. The Clan Sutherland force was gathered and the far northeast was laid waste in a campaign of revenge and repression. Wick and Thorso were burned and the Sinclair stronghold razed to the ground. Eighty men were tried at a summer court session at Golspie and there was strict punishment for the rioters. Four of the ringleaders were roasted and then fed to the town dogs for good measure.

Hugh, Lord of Duffus, the son of William and grandson of Freskin, was the heir to Duffus and Strabrock. He is referred to as Hugh Freskin and Hugh de Moravia in documents from 1195 onward. The Bishop of Moray gave him a free chapel in Duffus Castle between 1203 and 1214. By 1211 he also had Skelbo and other land in Sutherland. Hugh Freskin died before 1222 and was buried in the church of Duffus leaving three sons, William, Walter and Andrew.

of Sutherland

Hugh Freskin or Moray, Lord of Duffus and Stradbrock, acquired land in Sutherland before 1211, died between 1214 and 1222.

Freskin, a person of unknown descent, but who is believed to be of Flemish origin, upon whom King David I., in pursuance, it is said, of a colonising policy, bestowed wide landed possessions. These included Strabrock (Uphall and Broxburn), in West Lothian, and the lands of Duffus, Roseisle, Inchkeil, Macher, and Kintray, forming the larger part of the parish of Duffus and a portion of the modern parish of Spynie, between Elgin and the Moray Firth. At least Freskin is said to have held these lands of King David I., for Freskin himself is named only once, in a charter granted to his son William, between 1166 and 1171, by King William the Lion, which confirms the lands named as having been held by Freskin.[1] Freskin therefore must have died before 1166. According to the editor of the Registrum Moraviense, followed by Sir William Fraser in his Sutherland Book, he had three sons, Hugh, who was the ancestor of the Sutherland family, William of Duffus, and Andrew, a churchman. But Hugh, son of Freskin, is only named once, in a writ dated between 1147 and 1150, and that in such circumstances as to make the evidence untrustworthy,[2] while Andrew is clearly identical with a namesake of a later date. The weight of testimony rather points to the probability that Freskin had only one son, a view already adopted by Lord Hailes and George Chalmers.[3] Shaw, in his History of Moray, also assigns to Freskin only one son, William.

Hugh was son and heir. of William, son of Freskin (alleged to be of Flemish origin), named only in a charter granted between 1166 and 1171, confirming his lands to William (Scots Peerage, vol. viii, p. 319). This proves that Freskin d. before 1172, not before 1166, as the Scots Peerage strangely assumed. William was probably living in 1204 (Idem, p. 320). As regards the alleged Flemish origin of Freskin, the Editor is indebted to Professor F. L. Ganshof ofr kindly obtaining and translating the following opinion on this name from Mr. Gÿsseling, Rÿksarchief in Ghent; "The name Freskin, Fressekin, seems to be old-flemish, but there does not seem to be any evidence for it... It is a diminutive, of the type Adalkinus, Boykinus, Dudekinus, Levekin, Onekinus, etc., which is formed with the suffix -ke(n), which is still in life in our language. THe first element in the name seems to be found in Freshertus, which is mentioned in the Ratio de Villa Hatingem [in: Liber Traditionum] and is to be found back also in the place name Fresingahem, now Fersinghem (France, Pas-de-Calais, arrt. Saint-Omer)."
