Sir David Olifard (c.1113/1117 – c. 1170) was the first recorded Justiciar (of the Lothians),〔(Book of Bruce; ancestors and descendants of King Robert of Scotland )〕〔The Red Book of Perthshire, by Gordon MacGregor Page 649〕 governing the southern half of Scotland south of the rivers Forth and Clyde (excluding Galloway).〔"Political dictionary; forming a work of universal reference, both constitutional and legal; and embracing the terms of civil administration, of political economy and social relations, and of all the more important statistical departments of finance and commerce"()〕 Olifard was godson to King David I of Scotland,〔〔The Kingdom of the Scots: Government, Church and Society from the Eleventh ... By G. W. S. Barrow ()〕〔Burke's Peerage & Baronetage 107th Edition〕 whose life he saved at the Rout of Winchester in 1141.〔War and Chivalry: The Conduct and Perception of War in England and Normandy pages 238/239... By Matthew Strickland ()〕 Olifard is the first known chief of Clan Oliphant today.〔 ==Personal life== The Olifards held their lands in England from the Earls of Northampton and Huntingdon. In 1113, King David I of Scotland married Maud, Countess of Huntingdon, widow of Simon de St. Liz. Thus King David held the earldoms during the lifetime of his wife.〔The Oliphants in Scotland〕 David Olifard was godson of his namesake, the current earl, King David I of Scotland. Olifard must therefore have been born after 1113 (and before 1117 – see below). Olifard's wife was said to be Johanna, heiress of Cader in Lanarkshire 〔 Caledonia, Or an Account, Historical and Topographic, of North ..., Volume 1 By George Chalmers ()〕 but there is also another clue: Olifard granted to the monks of Jedburgh the "tenths" of the mill of Crailing and Berengerias de Engein granted the same monks a mark of silver from the mill of Crailing. Both these grants were confirmed by David I.〔Caledonia, Or an Account, Historical and Topographical, of North Britain ...()〕 Whether Berengerius was a father-in-law or brother-in-law to Olifard, we do not know. To have an interest in the mill of Crailing, which Olifard owned, coupled with the fact that Berengerius also made his donation to the same monks to whom Olifard made his donation, suggests that the two men were related. Members of the de Engain family held estates in Huntingdonshire and Northamptonshire.〔(A History of the County of Huntingdon: Volume 2. WARESLEY )〕〔(A History of the County of Northampton: Volume 4 )〕 Olifard had four sons: Sir Walter Olifard, who became Justiciar of the Lothians; William, who was ancestor of the Oliphants in Perthshire; Philip and Fulco. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Olifard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
