William "Earl of Moray" Dunkeld
(Abt 1090 - Bef 1145)
} for name of first wife
}
== Biography ==William probably came to Scotland with his uncle David before 1124, and supported the latter loyally and effectively after he became king in 1124.
William married Alice de Rumilly, who inherited lands in Copeland and Skipton, and William himself inherited Allerdale, south of Derwent, through his mother. In an English inquest of the thirteenth century he is called Earl of Moray, a province forfeited to the crown in 1130; but he is never so called in Scotland. According to charter evidence William fitz Duncan had died by 1154.
William had two sons, a Gospatric who is once mentioned and may have been a child of an earlier marriage, and William, who succeeded to his father's English lands and died childless in or soon after 1163, so that the inheritance passed to his three sisters.

I don't know where the internet got this stuff from, but it seems to be an attempt to make William fitz Duncan of Allerdale a bit more Scottish. It seems the only basis for this is a later English record which calls him "comes de Murrayse", presumably a mistake. There is no Scottish record of any such title at the time.
