During the 1180s KING WILLIAM THE LION (RIN 1913) struck up an alliance with Lachlan (or 'Roland'), lord of Galloway, who had married into the Anglo-Norman family of Moreville, and whose change of name neatly captures the interaction that was beginning between the native and foreign cultures. When in 1187 WILLIAM was again faced by a northern uprising, it was Roland who captured its leader, Donald mac William, a distant kinsman of THE KING. Roland of Galloway's marriage to the Moreville heiress expanded the family's interests." On the death of his uncle, Gilbert, in 1185, Roland rose in arms, and possessed himself of all of Galloway." HENRY II (RIN 761) threatened to
invade in 1186; Roland agreed to swear fealty, give his three sons as hostages, and keep Uchtred's lands. Gilbert's son Duncan got Carrick. "Roland greatly increased his lands by marrying ELENA, daughter of RICHARD DE MOREVILLE, Constable of Scotland, who died in1196. Roland inherited the office of Constable.
