Gille Críst, Earl of Angus

Gilla Críst of Angus, ruled until 1206 as Mormaer of Angus. He was a son of Gille Brigte of Angus and younger brother of Adam of Angus.

Almost nothing is known of him, though tradition tells us that he was married to Marjorie of Huntingdon, reputed to be a daughter of Henry, Earl of Huntingdon and Ada de Warenne, but who is possibly not the mother of his children:

his son Donnchad who succeeded him before 1206.
his daughter Bethóc (Beatrix) who was probably that "Bethoc" known to have been married to Walter Stewart, 3rd High Steward of Scotland and mother to Alexander Stewart, 4th High Steward of Scotland.
