• Notes

  Notes for Alexander Comyn: Earl of Buchan, Constable of Scotland; Justicair ; "inherited their title and estates, took a prominent part in public affairs during the reigns of Alexander II and Alexander III. The Comyns were at this time among the most powerful families in the kingdom and were the leaders of the national party, in opposition to the English faction, who, even at that early period, sought to make the welfare of Scotland subservient to the interests of England. Earl Alexander was one of the guardians of Scotland after the death of Alexander III, and, like his father, held the office of Great Justiciary. He died in 1289." The Great Historical Families of Scotland, James Taylor 2nd Earl of Bucham
