Gille Críst of Mar is the fourth-knownmormaer of Mar, from 1183 to 1203.

His relationship to the previous mormaer,Morggán, is not totally clear, but Gille Críst was not the son of Morggán, and so his succession could probably be explained by operations of Gaelic succession, but scholars know almost nothing about the internal functions of Mar in this period.

He had two sons, Máel Coluim and Eoin. He also had a daughter, whose name is unknown. Her importance, though, is high, because she marriedMáel Coluim of Lundie, and their sonThomas Durward eventually contested the inheritance of Mar by the line of Morggán.

His wife was Orabilis, a daughter of Ness fitzWilliam, Lord ofLeuchars. Her marriage to Gille was her third. She had previously been married toRobert de Quincy, Constable of Leinster, and, secondly, Adam, the son ofDuncan I, Earl of Fife.^[1]
