• Notes

  following information copied from Clan Oliphant website, electricscotland.com: ---------------------------------------- The information below has been kindly made available by Richard Oliphant of Condie and Roderick Oliphant OLIPHANTS AND DAVID I, ROBERT AND DAVID II Prior to the 12th Century, the Oliphants had built up an affiliation with the Scottish Royal family, who had the palace of Kincardine. As Jervais notes the Oliphant family was not present in Normandy prior to (or after) 1066. The other evidence would indicate that David I must have taken David Olifard's family to Northamptonshire with him as part of his retinue upon his marriage to the Countess of Northamptonshire. Both Douglas' Peerage of Scotland and Crawfurd's state David was David I's godson, which reflects why David Oliphant had been given the King's first name at birth....
