Richard (of Lauder in Lauderdale) was Constable of Scotland. In 2003 the web site http://www.hypertree.com/moreville/elena.html offers: G.W.S. Barrow, The Kingdom of the Scots (London, 1973), pp. 323-4: "Morville is from Morville, a few kilometres south-west of Brix, and the Morvilles were prominent tenants on the Honour of Huntingdon. The family's main stem were vassals of the Norman Honour of Vernon, which had its caput at Nehou a few miles further south. The closeness of the Scottish Morvilles to the Norman and Wessex lines of the family is shown by the fact that Morville charters in Scotland were witnessed by Alexander de Nehou, Richard de Nehou, and William de Nehou." D.G. Manuel, Dryburgh Abbey (Edinburgh, 1922), p. 47: quotes Chalmers, Caledonia iv, ch. 1, p. 503: "Hugh de Morville came from Burg in Cumberland. . . . [He] became Constable of Scotland. . . . He was the original founder of the monastery of Dryburgh, and died in 1162. By Beatrice de Bello Campo, his wife, he left Richard de Morville, who . . . became the principal minister of William the Lion." Hugh had "assumed the canonical robe of the monks of Dryburgh." K.J. Stringer, ed. Essays of the Nobility of Medieval Scotland (Edinburgh, 1985), p. 64, gives name of Richard de Morville's wife as Avicia. G.W.S. Barrow, The Anglo-Norman Era in Scottish History (Oxford, 1980), p. 17: "In 1200 . . . Helen de Morville, heir of her father Richard and of her grandmother Beatrice de Beauchamp, was entitled to four knights' fees respectively at Bozeat, Northants, Whissendine and Whitwell in Rutland, Offord in Huntingdonshire, and Houghton Conquest beside Bedford--the 5 hides at Houghton having been originally acquired by Hugh de Beauchamp, Beatrice's grandfather, probably not long before 1086." And p. 31: "As a consequence of Malcolm IV's subjugation of Galloway in 1160, Hugh de Morville the younger, son of Hugh de Morville the elder who died, as constable of the king of Scots and founder of Dryburgh Abbey, in 1162, was put in possession of Borgue, between Kirkcudbright and Gatehouse of Fleet, but evidently abandoned this estate after the anti-foreign revolt of Uhtred and Gilbert of Galloway in 1174, when, as Roger of Howden tells us, the Gallovidians slew or expelled the officials placed over them by the Scottish Crown, killed many Frenchmen and Englishmen, and destroyed those castles--no doubt of the motte and bailey type--which the incomers had had time to erect in that stubbornly separatist province."

[2988] In 2007 http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SWEDEN.htm offers: "Astrid. Snorre names 'Emund, Astrid, Holmfrid' as the children of King Olof by his concubine Edla, specifying that Astrid was brought up in West Gautland in the house of Egil. Adam of Bremen records that the wife of Olav King of Norway was 'rege Sueonum . . . filiam'. The 'Historia Norwegie' records that Olav married 'soror Margarete' after his betrothal to the latter was terminated by her marriage to 'rex Iarezlafus de Ruscia'. Snorre records the marriage of King Olav and 'Astrid, daughter of the Swedish king Olaf'. Her marriage was arranged to appease Swedish opposition to King Olav II's recently assumed rule. She remained in Sweden with her daughter when her husband left for Russia. - m (Feb 1019) Olav II King of Norway, son of Harald 'Grenske' King of Vingulmark, Vestfold and Agder & his wife Asta Gudbransdatter (maybe posthumously 995-killed in battle Stiklestad 29 Jul 1030, bur in a sandbank in the river at Trondheim, transferred to St Clement's church which later became Trondheim Cathedral)."
