= Biography =
The second Earl of Menteith whose name has been ascertained is
Murethach or Murdach. No evidence of relationship between him and Earl Gilchrist, his immediate predecessor in the earldom, has been discovered. But, according to chronology, Murdach probably was the son of Gilchrist, and the immediate inheritor of the earldom, although at that early date mere possession of the territorial earldom would give right to the dignity.
Murethach, Earl of Menteith, was one of the witnesses to an agreement made in the year 1199 or 1200, between Gilbert, prior, and the canons of St. Andrews, and the Culdees of that place, respecting certain teinds, which
were in dispute between them. The prior and canons thereby granted to the Culdees the teinds of their lands of Kingask, Kinnakelle with Fetsporgin and Betkennin, Lethin with Kinninis, Kernis with Cambrun, the rest being retained in the hands of the canons for marriages, purifications, oblations,
baptisms, and burials, those of the Culdees being excepted, who might
bury where they chose. The Culdees were to have all the teinds and revenues of Kilglassin, except baptisms and burials, inasmuch as the Culdees had given to the canons the lands of Tristirum in perpetuity, freely and
quietly, as the Culdees themselves had held that town.
From this agreement it appears that Earl Murdach succeeded to the earldom between the years 1180 and 1200, towards the end of the reign of King William the Lion. He died during the reign of that sovereign, before
the year 1213.
