Notes for Maud (Matilda) of Huntingdon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maud,_Countess_of_HuntingdonMaud of Northumbria , countess for the
Honour of Huntingdon, was the daughter of
Waltheof II, Earl of Northumbria and
Judith of Lens, the last of the major
Anglo-Saxon earls to remain powerful after the
Norman conquest of England in 1066. She inherited her father's
earldom of Huntingdon and married twice.
Her mother, Judith, refused to marry
Simon I of St Liz, 1st Earl of Northampton. This refusal angered her uncle, King
William I of England, who confiscated Judith's estates after she fled the country. Instead her daughter Maud was married to Simon of St Liz in 1090. She had a number of children with St Liz including:
1. Matilda of St Liz , married
Robert FitzRichard and then
Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester..
2. Simon II de St Liz, 4th Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton.
3. Saint
Walteof de St Liz .
Her first husband died in 1109 and Maud next married King
David I of Scotland in 1113. From this marriage she had one son,
Henry.
The Scottish
House of Dunkeld produced the remaining Earls of Huntingdon of the first creation of the title. She was succeeded to the Earldom of Huntingdon by her son Henry.
According to
John of Fordun, she died in 1130 and was buried at Scone, but she appears in a charter dated 1147.
