Maldred, Lord of Allendale. Born around 1039, he was the elder son of
Maldred of Scotland and Edith of Northumberland. He received Winlaton
from the Bisho p of Durham in 1084. His younger brother, Gospatrick, who
was born about 1040 , bought the Earldom of Northumbria from William the
Conqueror. The cost was high; the betrayal of his cousin, Malcolm III
King of Scotland, and his Scott ish ancestry. This is the story of the
betrayal: Malcolm III King of Scotland was using Cumberland and
Westmoreland as a base for raids against William th e Conqueror in 1070.
To prove his loyalty to William the Conqueror, Gospatric k plundered
Cumberland and slaughtered the inhabitants. He then returned with his
plunder to his fortress at Bamburgh Castle. Malcolm took his revenge, no t
against his cousin Gospatrick but against the people of Northern England!
He was no better than William the Conqueror, he slaughtered what few
inhabit ants were left or took them as slaves. This incident became known
as “King Ma lcolm’s Revenge”. That Gospatrick was created the First Earl
of Dunbar (whos e Coat of Arms is Gules a Lion Rampant Argent) by his
cousin King Malcolm of Scotland leads to the speculation that they were
perhaps playing “War Games” at the cost of the Northern English.
