Burke's Peerage, on the Earldom of Carrick
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Duncan, a grandson by a junior line of Fergus, the Celtic ruler of Galloway, was recognised by King William (The Lion) of Scots as overlord of the area of Galloway known as Carrick and made Earl of thereof by 1196. His granddaughter Margaret was Countess of Carrick in her own right but when she married Robert de Bruce he became Earl of Carrick in right of his wife. It was his son, another Robert, who was the celebrated Robert "The Bruce" and became King of Scots in 1306. From this moment on the Earldom of Carrick became increasingly closely connected with the royal house. Indeed in 1469 an Act of the Scottish Parliament ruled that it should be evermore annexed to the eldest sons of the Kings of Scots, and it remains to this day one of the Scottish titles of the Prince of Wales.
