From http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SCOTTISH%20NOBILITY.htm#GospatrickD...

1.         GOSPATRICK (-[killed in battle Cowton Moor, near Northallerton 22 Aug 1138]).  Simeon of Durham names "Dolfin, Walther and Cospatric" as the sons of Gospatrick[1407].  A memorandum dated to [1275] records that "Earl Cospatryk formerly earl of Dunbar in Scotland had a brother Dolfin earl of Northumbarland…both…bastards", that they had "a legitimate brother Waldeve and a legitimate sister Etheldreda…of one father and one mother"[1408].  It seems more likely that Gospatrick was his father’s oldest legitimate son as his father’s title was transmitted to his descendants.
