GOSPATRIC (fl. 1(367) , See also:earl of See also:Northumberland, belonged to a See also:family which had connexions with the royal houses both of Wessex and See also:Scotland. Before the See also:Conquest he accompanied See also:Tostig on a See also:pilgrimage to See also:Rome (1061); and at that See also:time was a landholder in See also:Cumberland. About 1067 he bought the earldom of Northumberland from See also:William the Conqueror; but, repenting of his submission, fled with other Englishmen to the See also:court of Scotland (Io68). He joined the Danish See also:army of invasion in the next See also:year; but was afterwards able, from his See also:possession of See also:Bamburgh See also:castle, to make terms with the conqueror, who See also:left him undisturbed till 1072. The See also:peace concluded in that year with Scotland left him at William's See also:mercy. He lost his earldom and took See also:refuge in Scotland, where See also:Malcolm seems to have provided for him. See E. A. See also:Freeman, See also:Norman Conquest, vol. i. (See also:Oxford, 1877), and the See also:English Hist. See also:Review, vol. xix.
