Henry of Scotland (Eanric mac Dabíd, 1114 – 12 June 1152[1]) was heir apparent to
the Kingdom of Alba. He was also the 3rd Earl of Northumberland and the 3rd Earl of
Huntingdon. He was the son of King David I of Scotland and Queen Maud, 2nd
Countess of Huntingdon.[2] Henry was named after his uncle, King Henry I of England,
who had married his paternal aunt Edith.
Earldom[edit]
David, Henry's father, invaded England in 1136. His army was met by Stephen, King of
England at Carlisle. Instead of battle, there was a negotiated settlement that included
Henry performing homage to Stephen for Carlisle and the Earldom of Huntingdon.[3]
Henry's journey to Stephen's court for Easter (1136) was met with resentment,
including an accusation of treason,[4] which brought about his return at his father's
insistence.[4]
After another invasion by his father, Henry was finally invested with the Earldom of
Northumberland in 1139.[5] Later in the year, Henry met with Stephen at Nottingham,
where he was also reinvested with Carlisle and Cumberland.[5] At which time Henry
paid homage to Stephen for his Earldom.[5]
Henry's inclusion into King Stephen's inner circle was highlighted by his arranged
marriage to Ada de Warenne.[6] This marriage secured Henry's place within Stephen's
kingdom.[6] Following Stephen's capture by forces of Empress Matilda, Henry held the
Earldom of Northumberland as a Scottish fief.[7]
On Henry's death, the Earldom passed to his half-brother Simon II de Senlis.
