Lord of Galloway
b? Carrick, Ayrshire, Scotland
The earliest mention of Fergus is on 7 July 1136 as a witness to a charter of King David I. His origins are unknown. His descendants, the Lords of Galloway, used as their coat of arms Azure a lion rampant Argent, to which King Henry added a crown. These arms suggest that Fergus was paternally descended from the Cinel Comgall in Cowal and its islands, one of the four principal families of the Dal Riata and the one to which King Kenneth macAlpin belonged.
