MAR, or MARR,( b ) [Mar with Bucuan (the territory comprising that now occupied by the counties of Aberdeen and Banff) formed one of the seven oriyinal Earldoms (Mnr- maersbips) of Scotland, ( c ) the holders of which, tho' in the 10th century styled Mormaers,^) were in the 12th century more generally known as Earls, Before, how- ever, the 12th century "Buchan " had become separated from " Mar."] Earldom [3.] 1. Roderick, Rdadri, or Rotiiri, Mormaer oe Mar, T 1116 was w 't ness > m H15, to the charter of Scone as "Rothri, Comes," {Earl Rothri) equivalent to Rothri, EARL OF MAR [S.] He appears, however, again as "Mormaer" in 1132 (viz. as " Ruadri, Mormaer of Mar") in a charter to the monastery of Deer, of that date. ( a ) Thoresby, formerly belonging to the Dukes of Kingston ; Worksop to the Dukes of Norfolk ; Clumber to the Dukes of Newcastle, and Welbeck to the Dukes of Port- land (all four being iu Sherwood forest, Notts), constitute what is called " the Dukcrics." ( b ) The following publications will be referred to, in this account of the Mar peerage, under the letters, " A," "B," " C," and "D" vis. (1) "A." The masterly work of the Earl of Crawford entitled " The Earldom of Mar in sunshine and shade," two vols., 8vo, 1882 ; (2) " B " Skene's " Celtic Scotland," three vols., 8vo, 1880 ; (3) " C." An article on " The early Earls of Mar," by G. Burnett, Lyon King of Arms, in " The Genealogist, N.S. ," vol. iv, pp. 177—193 ; (4) " D." Another article in the same work, vol. iii, pp. 1-24 (which, doubtless, tho' unsigned, is by the same hand) entitled " Tlie Earldom oi Mar," at the end of which last named article is printed the act, 6 Aug. 1885, for the restitution of that dignity. ( c ) See vol. i, p. 68, sub " Angus," for a fuller account of these seven Earldoms. ( d ) Donald, an early Mormaer of Mar, is said to have been one of the 10 Mormaers [S.] who crossed over to Ireland to assist Brien Boroihme against the Danes, by whom both were slain at the battle of Clontarf in 1014. The names of Donald's successors are unknown until the time of Roderick, early in the 12th century, who, accordingly, is in the text numbered as the first Earl of Mar.
