Donnchadh of Mar (Anglicized as Duncan is the fifth known Mormaer of Mar or Earl of 
Mar, 1203–1244.

Donnchadh was the son of Morggán and Agnes. Donnchadh benefited from the 
introduction of feudal primogeniture as a custom, as it enabled him and his kin to 
exclude the descendants of Gille Críst, whose contemporary leader was Thomas de 
Lundin, from the succession. Perhaps in gratitude, he named his oldest son William 
after King William I, the probable source of the innovation in Mar's inheritance custom. 
He married Orabillis of Nessius, by whom he fathered William, and died in 1244.
