General Notes
- Gille Chlerig, Earl of Mar
  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  Jump to: navigation, search
  Gille Chlerig,1 also Gillocheri 2 or Gillocher, Gillocher or Gylocher is a Gaelic name attested only in a Latin source, a 13th century forgery designed to advance the cause of Scottish independence. The name is highly corrupted, and therefore the name and meaning is unclear. Gille Chlerig is not known in any capacity other than being father of Morggán, but most scholars seem to be comfortable accepting him as the Mormaer of Mar who preceded his son Morggán.
