3Henry of Scotland (Eanric mac Dabíd) (1114 – 12 June 1152) was a
Prince of
Scotland, heir to the
Kingdom of Alba. He was also the
3rd Earl of Northumberland and the
3rd Earl of the Honour of Huntingdon and Northampton.
He was the son of King
David I of Scotland and
Maud, 2nd Countess of Huntingdon. His maternal grandparents were
Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria and
Huntingdon, (beheaded 1075) and his spouse
Judith of Lens.
Henry was named after his uncle, King
Henry I of England who had married his paternal aunt
Edith of Scotland (the name Edith gallicised as Matilda after becoming Queen consort in 1100). He had three sons, two of whom became
King of Scotland, and a third whose descendants were to prove critical in the later days of the Scottish royal house. He also had three daughters.
His eldest son became
King of Scots as
Malcolm IV in 1153. Henry's second son became king in 1165 on the death of his brother, reigning as
William I. Both in their turn inherited the title of
Earl of Huntingdon. His third son,
David also became Earl of Huntingdon. It is from the 8th Earl that all Kings of Scotland after
Margaret, Maid of Norway claim descent.
On Henry's death, the Earldom passed to his half-brother
Simon II de Senlis.
