Mormaer of Moray
The Mormaerdom or Kingdom of Moray (Middle Irish: Muireb or MorebMedieval Latin: Muref or MoraviaModern Gaelic: Moireabh) was a lordship in High Medieval Scotland that was destroyed by King David I of Scotland in 1130. It did not have the same territory as the modern local government council area of Moray, which is a much smaller area, around Elgin. The medieval lordship was in fact centred on both the lower Spey valley and around Inverness and the northern parts of the Great Glen, and probably originally included Buchan and Mar, as well as Ross.
