Malise II, Earl of Strathearn: Malise first appears on record in 1244, when he promised to observe the Treaty of York, the signing of which had been witnessed by his father. By this treaty, the King of Scots had dropped his claims to the northern shires of England. He was present in parliament from 1244 to 1245, and took part in the inauguration of King Alexander III in 1249. He was a friend of King Henry III of England, and was tasked by him to attend his daughter Margaret, when she became Queen of Scots as the wife of Alexander. In 1259 he obtained safe conduct from King Henry to go abroad, and had returned the following year.[1] Malise was an intelligent man who managed to retain the favor of both the Scottish and English kings. Said to have been "munificent above all his compatriots", he was also much noted for his generosity. Throughout his life he made considerable gifts to Inchaffray Abbey, giving the monks command of several of his serfs, and the right to take stone from the quarry of Nethergask, as well as donating several monetary sums.

![Estlander: Estlander on suomalainen sivistyssuku, jonka kaksi sukuhaaraa on aateloitu. Suvun varhaisin tunnettu jäsen on Oulun raastuvan oikeuden jäsenenä 1660-luvulla toiminut Henrik Jakobinpoika, jonka poika Johan käytti nimeä Estlander vannoessaan porvarinvalan Oulussa vuonna 1683. Viroon viittaavan sukunimen alkuperää ei tiedetä, mutta todisteita suvun virolaisesta alkuperästä ei ainakaan ole löytynyt. Suku vaikutti alkuun Oulussa ja sen jälkeen Lapväärttissä, kunnes haarautui 1800-luvulla.[1] Professori Jakob August Estlander aateloitiin vuonna 1879 ja introdusoitiin 1881 Suomen ritarihuoneelle aatelisena sukuna numero 254.[2] Hänen veljensä, professori Carl Gustaf Estlander aateloitiin vuonna 1898 ja introdusoitiin aatelisena sukuna numero 274.[3] Näistä kahdesta aatelisesta haarasta ensin mainittu sammui miehenpuolelta vuonna 1980 ja lopullisesti 1998,[2] mutta jälkimmäinen on yhä elossa[3]. Suvun toinen, aateliton päähaara on myös jo sammunut.[1] Suvun numero 254 aatelisvaakuna on taiteilija Albert Edelfeltin suunnittelema. Suvun numero 274 vaakunan on suunnitellut Sigrid Granfelt.](https://2d236e4d87.cbaul-cdnwnd.com/dbc01b2296ddba0fd143af7543137b15/200000166-403b8403bb/Estlander-aatelissuvun_%28%E2%84%96_254%29_vaakuna.png?ph=2d236e4d87)

The Old Norse nickname Digri and its Latin translation Grossus ("the stout") are given to him by near-contemporary texts.[3] It is possible Siward may have been of Scandinavian or Anglo-Scandinavian origin, perhaps a relative of Earl Ulf, although this is speculative.

His father, Gille-Brighde of Galloway, and his uncle, Uhtred of Galloway, were the two rival sons of Fergus, Prince or Lord of Galloway. As a result of Gille-Brighde'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 all the lands of Galloway, he was granted lordship over Carrick in the north.](https://2d236e4d87.cbaul-cdnwnd.com/dbc01b2296ddba0fd143af7543137b15/200000150-ae5c2ae5c4/Donnchadh_mac_Gille-Brighdhe_Seal.jpeg?ph=2d236e4d87)
