==Maud, Countess of Huntingdon ==
}
Maud was the daughter of Waltheof, earl of Northumbria, and Judith, a niece of William the Conqueror. Maud's first husband was Simon de Senlis (or St. Liz), a knight who had served the Conqueror. Maud and Simon had two sons. She was nearly 40 years old when she married David of Scotland, who was ten years her junior.
Her mother, Judith, refused to marry Simon I of St Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. This refusal angered her uncle, King William I of England, who confiscated Judith's estates after she fled the country. Instead her daughter Maud was married to Simon of St Liz in 1090. She had a number of children with St Liz including:: 1.Matilda of St Liz (Maud), married Robert FitzRichard and then Saerde Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester..
: 2.Simon II de St Liz, 4th Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton.
: 3.Saint Walteof de St Liz (1100 - bt 1159 - 1160).: Her first husband died in 1109 and Maud next married King David I of Scotland in 1113. From this marriage she had:
: 1.Malcolm of Scotland, b. c. 1113
: 2.Henry of Scotland, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon
: 3.Claricia of Scotland. b. c. 1115 - d. c. 1130
: 4.Hodierna of Scotland. b. c. 1117 - d. c. 1140
The Scottish House of Dunkeld produced the remaining Earls of Huntingdon of the first creation of the title. She was succeeded to the Earldom of Huntingdon by her son Henry. According to John of Fordun, she died in 1130 and was buried at Scone, but she appears in a charter dated 1147.: http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=image&guid=7c8f9093-df2e-4623-b134-5a79c62c75d1&tid=24279608&pid=1620970183: http://trees.ancestry.com/rd?f=document&guid=e193bc90-1dc8-4957-9140-ba8b3250fccd&tid=24279608&pid=1620970183

==Death and burial of Queen Maud of Scotland==
(Royal Ancestry) His wife, Queen Maud, died 1130 or 1131, and was buried at Scone.
Note. Scone Abbey (or Scone Priory) was a house of Augustinian canons based at Scone, Perthshire (Gowie), Scotland. It was founded between 1114 and 1122. In 1163 or 1164 King Malcolm IV increased Scone's status to that of abbey from priory and in his words was, "in the principal seat of our kingdom," and as such was one of the chief residences of Scottish kings and where they professed their vows to the people of Scotland. The abbey at Scone continued to function well into the 17th century but now no longer exists, its precise location a mystery until found in 2007 using modern electronic technology.

And although Richardson in Royal Ancestry, as well as the Wikipedia article for Scone Abbey, states Queen Maud was buried at Scone, Wikipedia also confusingly states she was buried at Dunfermline with her husband David I. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunfermline_Abbey)
