1072. !
And on his return from [Scotland] William deprived Gospatric
of the honour of the earldom, imputing to him that by
his counsel and aid he had been among those who had slain the
earl [Robert] de Commines with his followers in Durham, al-
and that he
though he had not in person been present there ;
had been on the side of the enemy when the Normans were
slain at York.

When [Osulf ] was dead, Gospatric, son of Maldred, Crinan's
son, went to king William and obtained the earldom of Northumbria,
bought for much money. 3
For the honour of that earldom pertained to him by his
mother's right. For his mother was Aldgitha, the daughter
of earl Utred, who had her by Elfgiva, daughter of king
Ethelred.
This Aldgitha her father gave in marriage to Maldred, son
of Crinan. 4
And [Gospatric] held the earldom until, for the reasons
aforesaid, the king took it from him. Therefore he fled to
Malcolm, 5 and not long afterwards went by ship to Flanders. 6
And when after some time he returned to Scotland, the aforesaid
king [Malcolm] granted to him Dunbar, with the lands
adjacent to it in Lothian, that by these he should provide for
himself and his men until happier times returned.
This Gospatric was the father of Dolfin, 7 Waldeve and
Gospatric.
