HENRY OF BRECHIN, who was the first who gave name to this family, was a natural son of David, styled Earl of Huntingdon, the younger brother of Malcolm iv. and William the Lion, Kings of Scotland. The date of his birth is not known, but he was old enough to witness a charter by his father between 1201 and 1207,1 along with another natural son of Earl David, Henry of Stirling. These two appear not infrequently in charters by their father, their half-brother John, Earl of Huntingdon, and others of the period.
