Gilbert Ogilvie, II

Gilbert Ogilvy, 3rd son of Gilibride; assumed the surname Ogilvy from lands of that name in his possession, of which, with Powrie and Kyneithein in Angus, he had a charter 1172. [Burke's Peerage] The lands of Ogilvy are in Angus. The name derivesfrom the Gaelic, Ocel-fa meaning high plain. Angus was a kingdom in Pictish times ruled by a mormaer, one of the ancient Celtic nobles of Scotland. Originally a mormaer, literally a great steward, was a semi-independent sub-king. After the feudalising of Scotland in the time of King David, mormaers came to be called earls. In those day of course there were no dukes or marquesses, so earl was the highest rank in the nobility. Gillebride, Earl of Angus in the time of King David I, gave the lands of Ogilvy to his third son, Gilbert, some time before 1172, when Gilbert had a charter of Ogilvy, Powrie and Kyneithen, all in Angus. His grandson, Sir Patrick de Ogilvy of Wester Powrie appears on the Ragman Roll of nobles swearing fealty toEdward I of England in 1296.

Gilbert Ogilvy, 3. søn af Gilibride; antog efternavnet Ogilvy fra lande med det navn i hans besiddelse, hvoraf han med Powrie og Kyneithein i Angus havde et charter 1172. [Burkes Peerage] Ogilvy's land er i Angus. Navnet stammer fra det gæliske, Ocel-fa, der betyder højslette. Angus var et kongerige på piktisk tid styret af en mormaer, en af ​​de gamle keltiske adelsmænd i Skotland. Oprindeligt var en mormaer, bogstaveligt talt en stor forvalter, en semi-uafhængig underkonge. Efter feudaliseringen af ​​Skotland på kong Davids tid, kom mormaer til at blive kaldt jarler. På den tid var der selvfølgelig ingen hertuger eller markiser, så jarl var den højeste rang i adelen. Gillebride, jarl af Angus på kong David I's tid, gav Ogilvy's land til sin tredje søn, Gilbert, nogen tid før 1172, da Gilbert havde et charter af Ogilvy, Powrie og Kyneithen, alle i Angus. Hans barnebarn, Sir Patrick de Ogilvy fra Wester Powrie optræder på Ragman Roll of adelsmænd, der sværger troskab til Edward I af England i 1296.
