Padraig, Earl of Atholl

Padraig, Earl of Atholl

Padraig or Patrick of Atholl was Mormaer of Atholl, from 1236/7 until 1241. The Chronicle of Melrose tells us that while he was lodging in Haddington, East Lothian, his enemies, "most wicked men," torched his lodging, killing both him and his two unknown companions. The chronicle had a high opinion of Padraig, and says that Padraig was "one imbued with all courtly wisdom and wit."

Padraig was succeeded by his aunt Forbhlaith, with her husband David de Hastings.
