Who is Ruadrí, Earl of Mar?

Ruadrí of Mar is the first known Mormaer or Earl of Mar from the 12th century, although that the mormaerdom was much older. For instance, there was a Mormaer of Mar at the Battle of Clontarf, 1014.

He was a witness to a confirmation of lands to the newly established Abbey of the Holy Trinity at Dunfermline, by David I in 1128.

He is mentioned as Ruadrí mormar Marr in the Gaelic notes on the Book of Deer. This means his floruit dates a little after 1130.
