Ranulf (Ranulph) of Moray, of Strathnith

NOTE: The dates don't work for him to have been the father of the Thomas Randolph, Chamberlain, who died in 1262.

To return to Radulf or Randolph, the eldest son of Dunegal, it is affirmed that he married the heiress of Bethoc, who brought him Bethoc-rule (Bedrule), Buechester, and other lands in Teviotdale.

Ranulf married Bethóc MAC FERGUS, daughter of Lord Fergus DE GALLOWAY and Elizabeth DE TALBY Princess of England. (Bethóc MAC FERGUS was born about 1126 in Row Castle, Galloway, Bedrule Parish, Scotland and was christened in Moray, Scotland.)

From The Scottish Nation - Moray

"Randolph, as superior of the whole of Nithsdale, transmitted the designation of lord of Stranith to his posterity. He married Bethoc, heiress of the lands of Bedrule, a contraction of Bethoc-rule, and Buecastle in Teviotdale, and from him his descendants assumed the surname of Randolph. Thomas, his son, was one of the anti-Anglican party removed from the administration of affairs during the minority of Alexander III., 21st September, 1255, and died in 1262. "
