Biography

This person is not mentioned in Burke's Peerage, which has Gillemichael a son of "Edelrad, apparently Earl of Fife, who flourished in the early 12th century and was also Abbot of Dunkeld; possibly the same person as Eth who fathered Gillemichael". Heth Aethelred is probably the Edelrad and Eth mentioned by Burke's Peerage. However several internet lines have Duffagan or Duff between Eth and Gillemichael and would explain the "MacDuff" name of subsequent generations.

Justin Swanstrom writes that "Several of Moncrieffe's books on Scottish clans call him Duff MacEth, Earl of Fife."

Occupation

2nd Earl of Fife

Research Notes

  1. There are no discoverable, reiiable, pre-1500 sources to document the attached father, disconnect Dunkeld-80.
  2. Review EARL of ROSS (MALCOLM MacEth) in Cawley, Charles Medieval Lands: a Prosopography of Medieval European Noble and Royal Families. Hereford, UK: Foundation for Medieval Genealogy (2006) for possible parentage.[1]
