The Mormaer or Mormaerdom of Mearns is the most obscure medieval Scottish mormaerdom. It is known only from one source, a source relating that Máel Petair, Mormaer of Mearns, killed Donnchad II. There is good reason to believe that this is not some mistake, and that Mearns was once a Mormaerdom. The early thirteenth century source, known to historians a de Situ Albanie, adds believability to this because it lists Mearns in a list of 13 Scottish regions which in 6½ pairs each formed one of the seven ancient Kingdoms of the Picts. Only two of the eleven other regions are not attested in sources as Mormaerdoms, those ones being Fothriff and Gowrie. It is probable that by the time Mormaers begin to be consistently attested, i.e. roughly between 1150 and 1250, Mearns was absorbed by the crown a

  • Mormaer von Mearns war der Titel eines frühmittelalterlichen regionalen Provinzherrschers im Königreich Schottland, dessen Territorium, Mearns (schottisch-gälisch An Mhaoirne), das heutige Kincardineshire umfasste. Das Mormaerdom of Mearns ist das obskurste mittelalterliche Mormaerdom Schottlands. Ein Mormaer von Mearns ist nur aus einer Primärquelle bekannt. Diese besagt, dass König Duncan II. († 1094) von „, comite de Merns“, getötet worden sei. Es gibt guten Grund zur Annahme, dass dies kein Fehler ist und dass Mearns tätsächlich einst ein Mormaerdom war. Die Quelle De Situ Albanie aus dem frühen 13. Jahrhundert, verleiht dem mehr Glaubwürdigkeit, weil sie Mearns in einer Liste von dreizehn schottischen Regionen auflistet, die in 6½ Paaren jeweils eines der sieben alten Königreiche der Pikten bildeten (nämlich (1) Angus mit Mearns, (2) Athole mit Gowrie, (3) Strathearn mit Menteith, (4) Fife mit Fothreff, (5) Mar mit Buchan, (6) Moray mit Ross und (7) Caithness). Nur zwei der elf anderen Regionen ist belegt, dass sie keine Mormaerdoms waren, nämlich Fothreff und Gowrie. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass zu der Zeit, als man in Schottland begann Mormaers konsistent urkundlich zu bezeugen, also ungefähr zwischen 1150 und 1250, Mearns bereits von der schottischen Krone absorbiert und nicht erneut verliehen worden war.

Confusingly, Mormaer means Great Steward; Maerns means merely Stewardry, and would be expected to be Mormaerns if there was a Mormaerdom. (en)
