Alan of Galloway 
Alan of was born in Galloway, Wigtownshire, Scotland. Alan of's father was Roland MacDonald and his mother was Helena De Morville. His paternal grandparents were Uchtred De Galloway and Gunhilda De Dunbar; his maternal grandparents were Richard de Morville and Avice or Avicia De Lancaster. He had a brother and two sisters, named Thomas, Devorguilla of and Ada. He died in 1234 in Kirkcudbright, Scotland. He was buried in Dundrennan Abbey, Galloway.General Notes
He was a very prominent man in his time period in Scotland. In 1212 King John requested him to send 1000 of his best and most active Galwegians to Chester for his expedition against the Welsh. The following year King John granted him an enormous tract of land in antrim and Derry consisting of 140 knights' fees. He was one of 16 laymen by whose counsel King John claimed to have granted magna Carta.
By one of his wives, he evidently had a son, Thomas, who died without issue before 1234. He also had an illegitimate son, Thomas (living 1296).
In 1229 he was summoned to go abroad with King Henry III.
In 1236 his widow's father, Hugh De Lacy, created an insurrection in Galloway at the succession of Alan's estates.
