Patrick I of Dunbar was Earl of Dunbar and March. He was the son of Waltheof of Dunbar, 3rd Earl of Dunbar and Alina. He also served as Justiar of Lothian. Patrick married Ada, an illegitimate daughter of William the Lion, King of Scotland.

Children:
Patrick II, Earl of Dunbar and March
William of Dunbar
Robert of Dunbar
Fergus of Dunbar
Ada of Dunbar HomeEarl of Dunbar, Lord of Beanley, Anglo Scottish noble

Eldest son of Waltheof de Dunbar, Earl of Dunbar and Aelina. Grandson of Gospatric III Dunbar.

Husband of Ada MacCrinan, the illegitimate daughter of Scotland's King William the Lion. They had the following children:

1 Patrick (his successor)
2 William, who witnessed a charter as "fratre Comitis"
3 Robert
4 Fergus

Secondly, he was the husband of Christina, the widow of William de Brus, 3rd Lord of Annandale.

From Wikipedia: Patrick was one of the most important magnates to Kings William and Alexander II of Scotland, frequently witnessing their charters and traveling in their entourages whenever they went to the south of England to perform homage to the King of England for the properties in that realm. Patrick also served as Justiciar of Lothian as well as Warden of Berwick-upon-Tweed. Patrick held, like his predecessors (who were originally of the kindred of the native English earls of Northumberland), some of his most important lands were in northern England. Patrick's close association with the Scottish kings in fact got him in trouble, and perhaps because of Alexander II's pursuit of claims to the earldom of Northumberland, Waltheof found himself temporarily deprived of some of his lands by King John of England.
