Alan of Galloway

Alan of Galloway (before 1199–1234) was hereditary Lord of Galloway and Constable of Scotland. Succeeding his father Roland in 1200, he led the Scottish crown's forces and advised King John over Magna Carta.

His intervention in the Norse kingdom of the Isles drew a retaliatory fleet from the king of Norway, and Norse sagas ranked him among the great warriors of his age. He died in February 1234 leaving daughters as heirs. Alexander II partitioned Galloway among them, ending the native line of rulers.
