Crínán of Dunkeld
Crínán of Dunkeld (died 1045) was the lay abbot of the diocese of Dunkeld, and perhaps the Mormaer of Atholl. Crínán was progenitor of the House of Dunkeld, the dynasty which would rule Scotland until the later 13th century. Crinán was married to Bethoc, daughter of King Malcolm II of Scotland (reigned 1005–1034). As Malcolm II had no son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethóc, and Crinán's eldest son Donnchad I (reigned 1034–1040), became King of Scots. Some sources indicate that Malcolm II designated Duncan as his successor under the rules of tanistry because there were other possible claimants to the throne. Crinán's second son, Maldred of Allerdale, held the title of Lord of Cumbria. It is said that from him, the Earls of Dunbar, for example Patrick Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar, descend in unbroken male line. Crinán was killed in battle in 1045 at Dunkeld. Sir Iain Moncreiffe argued he belonged to a Scottish sept of the Irish Cenél Conaill royal dynasty.(Sir Iain Moncreiffe of that Ilk, The Highland Clans. Part II. 1982. p. 236)
Crinán as Lay Abbot of Dunkeld
The monastery of Saint Columba was founded on the north bank of the River Tay in the 6th century or early 7th century following the expedition of Columba into the land of the Picts. Probably originally constructed as a simple group of wattle huts, the monastery - or at least its church - was rebuilt in the 9th century by Kenneth I of Scotland (reigned 843–858). Caustantín of the Pictsbrought Scotland's share of the relics of Columba from Iona to Dunkeld at the same time others were taken to Kells in Ireland, to protect them from Viking raids. Dunkeld became the prime bishopric in eastern Scotland until supplanted in importance by St Andrews since the 10th century. While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinán does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society. The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery. The Cathedral contains the only surviving remains of the previous monastic society: a course of red stone visible in the east choir wall that may be re-used from an earlier building, and two stone 9th century-10th century cross-slabs in the Cathedral Museum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cr%C3%ADn%C3%A1n_of_Dunkeld

--------------------------
In what was probably a shrewd political move, Malcolm II married his daughter Bethoc to a representative of the other major center of political power in Scotland, the church. Considering the close ties between ruling dynasties and the offices of major abbacies throughout Ireland and Scotland, it is also possible that Crinan was descended from a king of the Scots, which would completely legitimize his son's rule. The only notice of Crinan or Bethoc in the sources is Crinan's death in 1045, which was probably the result of an unsuccessful attempt to oust Macbeth. Children: 1. *Duncan. 2. Maldred, married Aeldgitha, daughter of Earl Ucthred of Northumbria.

Lord of the Isles, Governor of Scots Island, Earl of Strathclyde, hereditary Abbot of Dunkeld, Mormaer of Athole, Abthane of Dule; kin of St. Columba.
Crinan or Grimus is also known as Albanach. He was Lay Abbot of Dunkeld and Governor of the Hebrides Islands of Scotland. His parents are not known, but he appears to be of Viking ancestry. Sir Anthony R. Wagner, Garter King of Arms ("English Ancestry," Oxford Un. Press, 1961, p.16) states: "Though there is no genealogy of Crinan's ancestors, his hereditary abbacy of Dunkeld makes it likely that he was of the blood of St. Columba (d. 597), the apostle of Scotland, who was a great-grandson of the Irish high king Niall of the Nine Hostages." "The Plantagenet Ancestry," W.H.Turton (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968) gives Crinan's parents as Duncan and ____ "of the Isles."

Crínán av Dunkeld (død 1045) var lekmannsabbed av bispedømmet Dunkeld, var kanskje også mormaer av Atholl. Crínán var stamfar til Huset Dunkeld, dynastiet eller kongeslekten som skulle styre Skottland fram til slutten av 1200-tallet.
Crínán var gift med Bethoc, datter av kong Malcolm II av Skottland, som regjerte fra 1005 til 1034. Da Malcolm II ikke hadde en sønn var den sterkeste arvelige krav til den skotske tronen etterkommere via Bethóc, og Crináns eldste sønn Donnchad I eller Duncan I ble skottenes konge, regjerte fra 1034 til 1040. Noen kilder indikerer at Malcolm II utpekte Duncan som sin etterfølger under reglene om tanisteri (skotsk-gælisk tana, herredømme) ettersom det ikke var noen annen mulig fordringshavere til tronen. Crináns andre sønn, Maldred av Allerdale, holdt tittelen herre av Cumbria. Det er sagt at fra ham er det jarlene av Dunbar nedstammer fra i en ubrutt mannlig linje, eksempelvis Patrick Dunbar, 9. jarl av Dunbar. Crinán ble drept i et slag i 1045 ved Dunkeld. Crinán som lekmannsabbed av Dunkeld
Klosteret til Sankt Columba av Iona ble grunnlagt på den nordlige bredden av elven Tay på 500-tallet eller tidlig på 600-tallet etter at Columba gikk i land og møtte pikterne. Sannsynligvis ble klosteret først reist som en enkel gruppe med hus av kvistflettverk, men kirken ble ombygd på 800-tallet av Kenneth I mac Alpin (regjerte 843-858). Kenneth brakte relikvier fra Irland for beskytte dem fra angrep av vikinger fra Norge. Dunkeld ble det fremste bispedømmet i østlige Skottland inntil St Andrews fikk betydning fra 900-tallet.
Mens tittelen arvelig lekmannsabbed var en føydal posisjon som ofte ble utført i kun navnet synes det som om Crinán faktisk opptrådte som abbed for klosteret i sin tid. Han var således en mann av høy posisjon både i kirkelig og i det verdslige samfunnet. Den praktfullt katedralen i Dunkeld, som nå ligger delvis i ruiner, ble bygget i stadier mellom 1260 og 1501, og står i dag på det stedet som klosteret i sin tid lå. Katedralen inneholder de eneste bevarte levningene fra det tidligere klostersamfunnet; en bane i rød stein som er synlig i østkorets vegg som kan ha blitt gjenbrukt fra en tidligere bygning, og to steinkors fra en gang rundt 800-900-tallet som nå står i katedralmuseet.

"Cronan, 'Abbot of Dunkeld.' Though bearing this designation he was not an ecclesiastic, but in reality a great secular chief, occupying a position of power and influence not inferior to that of any of the native Mormaers. The effect of the incessant invasions and harassing depredations, directed as they were largely against the ecclesiastical establishments, had been to disorganise the Christian Church to a great extent, and to relax the power and sanction by which the constitution and the lives of her clergy were regulated. They became secular in their lives and habits, married and had children who inherited their possessions. The more important benefices passed into the hands of laymen, who, along with the name of the office, acquired possession of the lands attached to it, without taking orders or attempting to perform clerical duties, and these offices with the possessions attached to them became hereditary in their families.12 After the church of Dunkeld had been founded or at least reconstructed by Kenneth mac Alpin, we find mention of an abbot of Dunkeld, who was also chief bishop of Fortrenn, and whose death is recorded in 865. Eight years after the abbot is termed simply Superior of Dunkeld.13 In the following century we find Donnchadh or Duncan, abbot of Dunkeld, appearing at the head of his followers and taking part in a war of succession in support of one of the claimants to the throne. He was no doubt a lay abbot, and the possessions of the church of Dunkeld were sufficiently extensive to give him an important position among the mormaers of Alban. Crínán or Cronan, as lay abbot of Dunkeld, probably possessed, with the lands belonging to it and other foundations intimately connected with it, territories in the district of Atholl of great extent, including almost the whole of the western part of it, and must have occupied a position of power and influence. He had by the king's daughter a son Duncan, and probably another son Maldred, and the name of his eldest son leads to the inference that he was probably the son or grandson of Duncan the lay abbot who was slain in battle in 965, and in whose person the lay abbacy had become hereditary.
"(Note: Fordun calls Crínán "Abthanus de Dull et seneschallus insularum." There was no such title as Abthanus de Dull, but there was an Abthania de Dull, consisting of the possessions of that monastery. They were of great extent and embraced the whole of the present parishes of Dull and Fortingall. If this monastery had become secularised, they may have belonged to the lay abbot of Dunkeld, and if Malcolm had now reacquired part of the Western Isles, Crínán may have occupied some important position in connection with them also."
"Also called Grimus, he was lay abbot of Dunkeld. (per GeneaJourney.com)
"Crínán was one of the wealthiest and most powerful temporal lords of the day in Scotland. The lands pertaining to the Abbacy of Dunkeld were extenive and fertile, and their value was further enhanced by their position in the center of the kingdom. Crínán was the 'prince-abbot' of Scotland, as his great predecessor Columba had been the presbyter-abbot of the same land."
Ancestor of later Kings and Queens of Scotland. Leader of the Celtic Church, educated at the Abbacy of Dull instituted by Adamnan, a successor of St. Columba's at Iona.
Baldwin and Farmerie's Henry II articles suggest that the parentage of Crinan should be considered uncertain:
"Since the abbacy of Dunkeld may have been hereditary in Crínán's family (his grandson Æthelred held the title), it has sometimes been suggested that Crínán was possibly the son of this earlier abbot of Dunkeld whose death is known from both the Irish and Scottish sources [e.g., AU; ESSH 1: 471, 473, 577; KKES 252]. While the relationship is not impossible, the chronology is very long (if true, Crinán would be eighty at his death in battle even if born in the year of his father's death), and there is no known evidence to support it. The alleged relationship cannot be accepted without further evidence."[1] Name
Crinan "The Hound Earl" Abbott of Dunkeld, Thane Lord of the Isles /De Mormaer/
Name: Crinan Abbot of Dunkeld /DeMormaer/ Death

Crínán of Dunkeld (died 1045) was the lay abbot of the monastery of Dunkeld, and perhaps the Mormaer of Atholl. Crínán was progenitor of the House of Dunkeld, the dynasty which would rule Scotland until the later 13th century. He was the son-in-law of one king, and the father of another.

Family
Crinán was married to Bethóc, daughter of Máel Coluim mac Cináeda (Malcolm II) (King of Scots, who reigned from 1005 to 1034). As Máel Coluim had no surviving son, the strongest hereditary claim to the Scottish throne descended through Bethóc. Crinán and Bethóc's eldest son, Donnchad (Duncan I), who reigned from 1034 to 1040.
Crínán of Dunkeld httpssmediacacheak0pinimgcom236x9aabb1
Crinán's second son, Maldred of Allerdale, held the title of Lord of Cumbria. It is said that from him, the Earls of Dunbar, for example Patrick Dunbar, 9th Earl of Dunbar, descend in unbroken male line.
Lay Abbot of Dunkeld
The monastery of Saint Columba was founded on the north bank of the River Tay in the 6th century or early 7th century following the expedition of Columba into the land of the Picts. It may have continued to draw its hierarchy from the Cenél Conaill of Donegal. Iain Moncreiffe argued that Crinán belonged to a Scottish sept of the Irish Cenél Conaill royal dynasty.
While the title of Hereditary Lay Abbot was a feudal position that was often exercised in name only, Crinán does seem to have acted as Abbot in charge of the monastery in his time. He was thus a man of high position in both clerical and secular society.
The magnificent semi-ruined Dunkeld Cathedral, built in stages between 1260 and 1501, stands today on the grounds once occupied by the monastery. The Cathedral contains the only surviving remains of the previous monastic society: a course of red stone visible in the east choir wall that may have been re-used from an earlier building, and two stone ninth - or tenth-century cross-slabs in the Cathedral Museum.
In 1045, Crínán of Dunkeld rose in rebellion against Macbeth in support of his grandson, Malcolm III's claim to the throne. Crínán was killed in a battle at Dunkeld.
