In the lifetime of his father was an active supporter of the baronial cause and was made prisoner at the battle of Lincoln by the Royalists. He was later released and delivered up to his father.
King of Scotland William Canmore
The nickname William the Lion, king of Scotland (1165-1214) was accorded him after his death and may have been due either to his valour and strength in battle (though he was not always successful) or more likely to the heraldic symbol that he adopted - the red lion rampant on a yellow background - which has remained a royal symbol to this day. William was red haired and energetic.
William was a grandson of King David I and the brother of Malcolm IV, whom he succeeded. After a quarrel with King Henry II of England, William concluded an alliance between Scotland and England in 1168. In 1173, with King Louis VII of France, he aided Henry's sons in their unsuccessful rebellion against their father. William invaded Northumberland, and the next year, while raiding the countryside near Alnwick, he was captured by the English and brought to Henry II with "his feet chackled beneath the belly of his horse," and later taken to Normandy. He was able to obtain his freedom only by assenting to the Treaty of Falaise, which acknowledged Henry as overlord of Scotland. In 1188 William secured a papal bull quaranteeing the independence of the Scottish church from that of England, and in 1189 Henry's son Richard, who had succeeded him as king, annulled the Treaty of Falaise, surrendering all claims to suzerainty over Scotland in return for a large payment. William was succeeded by his son, Alexander II.
His grandmother, St. Margaret Atheling, Queen of King Malcolm III, was a granddaughter of Edmund Ironside, King of England who is described along with eight other Kings of England who were his ancestors, including King Edward the Great.
William the Lion's Queen, Ermengarde de Beaumont, was a great granddaughter of Henry I, King of England, who was a son of William the Conqueror, King of England.
The
Daughter of William de Warenne, Earl of Surrey,and great granddaughter of Henry I of France.
King of Scotland David I Canmore
David I, king of Scotland (1124-53), son of Malcolm III. When his oldest brother, King Edgar, died, he left the Scottish domains of the Forth of Clyde to another brother who became King Alexander I, while David inherited southern Scotland with the title of Earl of Cumbria. Six years later, David married the daughter of the Earl of Northumbria and thereby became Earl of Huntingdon and a vassal of the English crown. In 1123, King Alexander died, and David became the king of Scotland. From 1136 to 1148, David tried unsuccessfully to help his niece Matilda secure the English throne. Thereafter, David devoted himself to ruling Scotland. He replaced the traditional Scottish tribal organization with a feudal one modeled after that of Norman England and was noted for the castles he built and the monasteries he founded including Cambuskenneth at Stirling and Holyrood at Edinburgh.
Daughter of Waltheof, Earl of Huntington.
King of Scotland Malcolm III Canmore
Malcolm Canmore, as Malcolm III, became king of Scotland from 1057 to 1093. Malcolm succeeded to the throne after killing Macbeth (king of Scotland, 1040-1057) who had killed Malcolm's father, Duncan I. He was nicknamed Bighead. He was a fierce, unlettered soldier who adored his second wife, Margaret Atheling, a descendant of English Kings who was canonized after her death. When not campaigning, he upheld her policies and showed a vicarious appreciation of learning by kissing her manuscripts and adorning them with precious bindings. He substituted Saxon for Gaelic as the court language. Malcolm III was killed in battle at his fifth invasion of England in 1093. Margaret was canonized in 1249 following their deaths and St. Margaret's Chapel at Edinburgh Castle was built in her honor.
This line of kings of Scotland continues back for many generations and notes are elsewhere in this genealogy.
Queen of Scotland, Saint Margaret Atheling
Under her influence, life in court became more civilized and many English fashions were adopted. She founded many monasteries, and for her benefactions was cononized in 1251. St Margaret's Chapel is situated at the highest part of Edinburgh Castle. It was begun by Queen Margaret and modified by her son David I. Margaret virtually secluded herself in the chapel pursuit of her religious ideals and died there after hearing of the death of her husband and eldest son at Alnwick.
Margaret had eight children, six sons and two daughters.
For more fascinating details of her life and that of her children, see "St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland And Her Chapel" by Lucy Menzies, Ronald A. Knox, and Ronald Selby Wright (edited by Charles Robertson).
Duncan I, king of Scotland (1034-40) grandson of King Malcolm II Mackenneth of the House of Alpin (1005-1034), whom he succeeded. Before his ascension to the Scottish throne, he was ruler of the kingdom of Strathclyde. Macbeth, who ruled the neighboring kingdom of Moray and served Duncan as a general, killed Duncan I and became king of Scotland. Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth, is based on the struggle between the two kings.
daughter or sister of Siward, Earl of Northumberland.
1830 United States Federal Census about Champion Choat
Name: Champion Choat
County: McNairy
State: TennesseeAfter leaving Tennessee, Champion and his wife, the former Ann Burke, settled in the NW area of Arkansas.
Champion was listed in the Johnson County Arkansas Territory Census in 1835, 37 and 38. 1860 U.S. Census in Texas indicates daughter Elizabeth was born in Arkansas in 1831, so the family must have been in Arkansas by 1831.
"There was a large number of the Cherokees who became known as the Old Settlers because they removed to Indian Territories before the forced removal on the Trail of Tears. Most settling in Arkansas, between 1817- 1835. They removed as to get away from the intruding whites on the Cherokee Nation. Not only were they the mixed blood families but the full bloods who left the original Cherokee lands."It is clear that Champion was a mixed blood Cherokee as attested by 1896 affidavits from several descendants, as will as 1896 affidavits submitted by other Cherokees who had known Champion to be a Cherokee prior to moving from TN. . Cherokees who had settled in Texas, Arkansas, Kansas and Missouri were not living in the Cherokee Nation were considered U.S. citizens, and were ineligible to sign the Dawes Rolls for Cherokees. Those descended from these Cherokees are unable to enroll in the Cherokee Nation even if they are able to prove their Cherokee heritage.
Champion later acquired land through the Fayetteville AK Land Office on August 2, 1838 and March 1, 1843, both under an Act or Treaty of April 24, 1820.
