Hugh de Moravia[a] (died c. 1219), Lord of Duffus, Strathbrock and Sutherland, was a Scottish noble.
He was the eldest son of William, the eldest son of Freskin,[1] a Flemish settler who arrived in Scotland in the reign of King David I of Scotland.[2] William had obtained a grant from King William I of Scotland, of the lands of Strathbrock in West Lothian, as well as Duffus, Roseisle, Inchkeil, Machir and Kintrae in Moray, between 1165 and 1171.[3] Hugh inherited these lands upon the death of his father. He was granted a large estate around 1210 and was also known as Lord of Sutherland.
