'''Ethelreda''' was a daughter of [[Gospatric, Earl of Northumbria]] remembered in 13th century [[Cumberland]] as the mother of [[William fitz Duncan]]. She married [[Duncan II]] of Scotland, King of Alba. A surviving charter of Duncan II mentions William fitz Duncan as "infans mei" (Latin: my child), indicating that he was an only child. Ethelreda was Queen Consort of Alba from the time of their marriage (1090/1093) until Duncan's death on 12 November 1094. After Duncan was killed by Mormaer Máel Petair of Mearns, it is probable that Ethelreda fled with infant William to the safety of Allerdale in Cumberland where her brother [[Waltheof of Allerdale]] was lord. The ''Chronicon Cumbriæ'' reports that Waltheof granted lands jointly to his sister Ethelreda and a Waltheof, son of Gimellin, who would be a second husband, and that some of Waltheof of Allerdale's lands would eventually be held by Ethreda's son William fitz Duncan. Unfortunately, the ''Chronicon Cumbriæ'' is known to be full or errors and inconsistencies, other sources identify the wife of Waltheof, son of Gimellin as Ethelreda's sister Octreda (also known as Ethreda). <ref>[[Weir, Alison]] (1996).
