474 CAITHNESS V. 1 140? 6. * Paul, 7(^?r/o/0r/^«i?>' and Earl OF Caithness [S.], br. and h. of the above, on his death, obtained possession of the whole of Caithness. The King of Norway, however, divided the Orkneys between him and his first cousin + Rognwald,(^) Jarl of Orkney, nephew, by the sister, of Earl Magnus. Earl Paul abdicated in favour of his own nephew, Harald, next named. VI. 1 1 70. 7, 8, 9, and 10. * Harald, Jari. of Orkney and Earl OF Caithness [S.], by the resignation of Earl Paul above- named, was 2nd s. of Madach, Earl of Atholl [S.], by Margaret, da. of Earl Hako, and sister of Earl Paul abovenamed.() He, like his predecessors, shared the Orkneys with the Jarl + Rognwald, and, possibly, the Earldom of Caithness also. During Rognwald's pilgrimage to Jerusalem, King Malcolm IV gave half of Caithness to *Erlend Ugni, the son of Earl Harald Slettmali abovenamed, who thus became EARL OF CAITHNESS [S.]. On Eriend's death his half of Caithness was granted (or rd'-granted) to the abovenamed ■^ Rognwald, who then (if not previously) became EARL OF CAITHNESS [S.]. Rognwald d. s.p.m., but his only da., Ingigerd, m. Erik Slagbrellir, a Norwegian, and had three sons, of whom -^HARALD Ugni, became EARL OF CAITHNESS [S.], having received from King "William the Lion the half of Caithness which had belonged to Rognwald, and from the King of Norway " an Earl's title with the half of the Orkneys." He was slain in 11 98, by Earl Harald (the Elder), who thus (for the first time) became possessed of the whole Earldom. Earl Harald appears to have w., istly, Afrika, sister of Duncan, Earl of Fife [S.], and, having repudiated her, 2ndly, Gormlath or Hvarlod, a da. of Malcolm Mac-Heth, 1st Earl of Ross [S. 1157] (the alleged son of Angus, Earl op Moray [S.], slain 11 30), in whose right he rose and occupied Moray. (■=) He was, however, defeated, in 1201, when the southern part of his district (Sutherland) was taken from him,('^) and he was only allowed to hold Caithness north of " the Ord," and that on payment of 2,000 marks of silver. He d. 1206. VII. 1206. II. * David, 7^^ o/Or/^w^y and Earl of Caithness [S.], 2nd, but 1st surv. s., and h. of Earl Harald. He d. 12 14. (^) This name together with "an Earl's title" was given him by the King of Nor- way. His former name was Kali. He was s. of a Norwegian, called Kol, by Gun- hild, sister of Earl Magnus. See ante, page 472, note "c." (*") Though he inherited his Earldom from his mother, he was paternally descended from the Royal House of Scotland, his father Madach being s. of Duncan I, and br, of Malcolm III, Kings of Scotland, ancestors of the succeeding monarchs. (■=) Ex inform. G. Burnett, sometime Lyon, to whom the former Editor was in- debted for several valuable emendations in this article not separately acknowledged. {^) Sutherland was given to Hugh of Moray (called Hugh Freskin), SherifFof In- verness (1204), as a Lordship, and was raised into an Earldom for his son.
