==Biography==
Gille Brigte[http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/110/ People of Medieval Scotland; Gilla Brigte, earl of Angus] or Gilbert was the first on record to hold the title of Earl of Angus. [https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun01pauluoft#page/172/mode/2up Earl of Angus] He may have descended from the ancient Mormaers of Angus, but there is no proof found in source material.
His parentage is unknown in source material. Martin of Clerrnont is claimed as authority for the statement that this Earl's father was Gilchrist, also Earl of Angus, who is said to have fought at the battle of the Standard in 1138. However in Aildred's original account of that conflict there is no mention of such an Earl, and he does not appear in authentic record.
===Contention===He is often noticed, on web sources, as the son of a Dubacan of Angus. This is incorrect. Dubacan of Angus (or Dubacan mac Indrechtaich in Gaelic) appears as Dubucan filius Indrechtaig mormair Oengusa (Latin to English: Dubucan, son of Indrechtach, Mormaer of Angus) in the Chronicle of the Kings of Alba. He is noted, in that source as having been killed, along with his lord, Amlaib, son of Caustantín II (Constantine II, King of Fortriu) at the the Battle of Brunanburh. This battle took place in 937 and it would have been impossible for him to have fathered this Gilbert.
Dubacan is considered, by historians, as a possible ancestor of Gilla Brigte of Angus. It is possible that Dubacan was succeeded by a man called Cuncar, although there is no information about their exact relationship.
===Appearance on Record===
His appearance on the Public Records of Scotland is noticed in the [http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/person/110/ People of Medieval Scotland] database. According to the [http://www.cambridge.org/sg/academic/subjects/history/british-history-general-interest/handbook-british-chronology-3rd-edition Handbook of British Chronology], page 499:Unfortunately this publication is not available from any of the free distributions sites and is under copyright to Cambridge University Press. It may be available from some library sources. Gille Brigte was styled earl of Angus from c. 1150 and 24 May 1153. He died between 15 March 1187 and 1 August 1189 and was succeeded by his son, Adam, who was born before May 1164. Gille Brigte had another son, Gilchrist, who succeeded his brother, Adam, after the latter's death before March 1199.
Earl Gilbert also took an active part in public affairs, and was one of the leaders of the Scottish army in the wars of King William the Lion with England. He was present at the sack of Warkworth in 1174.
Soon after this, by a treaty made at Falaise, the Earl of Angus was one of the Scottish hostages for the observance of the peace under this treaty. [http://db.poms.ac.uk/record/factoid/43858/ Agreement between William, king of Scots, and Henry (II), king of England (Treaty of Falaise)]
The last mention of this Gilbert is in a charter by William the Lion to Richard, Bishop of Moray, who was elected in 1187, and also in a charter by the Bishop.Registrum Moraviense, 7, 38. He does not appear to have lived long after. He was certainly dead before 1193 when his son, Adam, was Earl.Roberts, John L., Lost Kingdoms: Celtic Scotland in the Middle Ages, (Edinburgh, 1997), pp. 53–4; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gille_Brigte,_Earl_of_Angus
===Family===
Sir James Balfour Paul does not mention the name of his wife but records that he had, at least, four sons:[https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun01pauluoft#page/172/mode/2up Earl of Angus]
: Adam, later 2nd Earl of Angus.
: Gilchrist, later 3rd Earl of Angus.
: Gilbert, who received from King William the Lion the lands of Purin, Ogguluin and Kinminethen.These are more commonly known as Powrie, Ogilvie, and Kilmundie, and all in Forfarshire. The charter, dated between 1172 and 1177, is granted to Gilbert, son of the Earl of Angus, and from him are descended the Ogilvies of that Ilk, Airlie with its cadets, and Inverquharity.
: William, of whom the only mention found is as a witness in 1178 along with his brother Adam.Registrum Vetus de Aberbrothoc, 9.
: Angus, who in various writs is described as 'son of the Earl' and in one as Angus son of Gillebryd, Earl of Angus,Registrum Vetus de Aberbrothoc, 18. though the last noted source is in doubt, due to a possible transcription error in the source. He may, however, have been a son of this Earl. He, Angus, had a son Adam.
According to various authorities, Gillebride is said to have had another son Magnus. This is included on wikitree. He is often described as his second son, and who became [[:Category: Earls of Caithness|Earl of Caithness]].[https://archive.org/stream/scotspeeragefoun01pauluoft#page/172/mode/2up Earl of Angus]
