Donnchadh or Donnchad (contemporary Latinisation Duncanus, later Anglicised as Duncan) was a Gall-Gaidhil prince and magnate, in what is now south-western Scotland, whose career stretched from the last quarter of the 12th century until his death in 1250. His father, Gille-Brighde of Galloway, and his uncle, Uhtred of Galloway, were the two rival sons of Fergus, "King" or "Lord" of Galloway.

dbpprop:abstract
  • Donnchadh or Donnchad (contemporary Latinisation Duncanus, later Anglicised as Duncan) was a Gall-Gaidhil prince and magnate, in what is now south-western Scotland, whose career stretched from the last quarter of the 12th century until his death in 1250. His father, Gille-Brighde of Galloway, and his uncle, Uhtred of Galloway, were the two rival sons of Fergus, "King" or "Lord" of Galloway. As a result of his father's conflict with Uhtred and the Scottish monarch William the Lion, Donnchadh became a hostage of King Henry II of England. He probably remained in England for almost a decade, before returning north on the death of his father. Although denied succession to the full lordship of the Gall-Gaidhil, or even most of its lands, he was granted lordship over Carrick in the west. Little is known about Donnchadh's life and rule, partly because of his region's geographical and cultural distance from the centres where most of the surviving literary output of the period was produced. He fought battles in Ireland in alliance with John de Courcy, and acquired land there that he subsequently lost. A patron of religious houses, particularly Melrose Abbey and North Berwick nunnery, he attempted to establish a monastery in his own territory, at Crossraguel. He married the daughter of Alan fitz Walter, a leading member of the family later known as the House of Stewart—future monarchs of Scotland and England. Donnchadh was the first mormaer or "earl" of Carrick, a region he ruled for over six decades, making him one of the longest serving magnates in medieval Scotland. His descendants include the Bruce and Stewart Kings of Scotland, the Kennedy Earls of Cassilis, and probably the Campbell Dukes of Argyll.
  • Donnchad mac Gille Brigte war der erste Mormaer oder Graf von Carrick. Er war der Sohn von Gilla Brigte, Herr von Galloway. Sein Nachfolger war sein Sohn Niall.
  • Donnchad mac Gillai Brigte eller Duncan fils de Gilbert (= Duncan, sønn av Gilbert) var den første mormaer eller jarl av Carrick, et jarldømme i Galloway, Skottland. I 1176 ble Donnchad overlevert til kong Henrik II av England av sin far, Gilla Brigte mac Fergusa av Galloway som gissel for at den engelske kongen skulle sikre seg at Gilla Brigte, lord av Galloway, skulle oppføre seg i henhold til hva England ønsket. Etter at faren døde i 1185 overtok hans fetter Lochlann i Donnchads fravær de landområdene i Galloway som Gilla Brigte hadde kontrollert. Henrik II forsøkte å hindre overtakelsen på vegne av Donnchads vegne, men ble opptatt med sine egne sønners opprør i Frankrike, og i tillegg fikk Lochlann støtte fra skottenes konge, Vilhelm I av Skottland. Etter hvert som hendelsene utviklet seg fikk Lochlann beholde det meste av Galloway, men som kompensasjon ble det opprettet et nytt mormaerdømme i området Carrick som tidligere hadde vært kontrollert av lorden av Galloway. Det var kong Alexander II av Skottland som en gang mellom 1225 og 1330 opprettet mormaerdømmet Carrick på den betingelse at Donnchad oppga alle krav i Galloway. Carrick er en anglifisert utgave av creag/carraig' som står for berg eller fjell (rock). Tittelsetet lå i Ayrshire. Donnchad hadde en nær allianse med den bemerkelsesverdige anglo-normanniske eventyreren John de Coucy. Denne, som effektivt hadde grunnlagt jarldømmet Ulster, hadde lovt Donnchad landområder i Ulster. I 1197 reiste Donnchad selv over til Ulster for å sikre seg landene. I et slag mot Hugh de Lacy tapte John de Courcy, men Donnchad forsøkte uansett å forfølge sine krav. Da Hugh de Lacy senere fikk kong Johan av Englands raseri mot seg flyktet mange av hans menn til Carrick hvor Donnchad pliktskyldig fikk dem arrestert og overrakt til engelskmennene. Ett av de aller tidligste landcharter fra slutten av 1100-tallet i klosteret Melrose Abbey nevner Duncan, sønn av Gilbert, sønn av Fergus, Count av Carrick.
