[edit] Red Comyn

Comyn was certainly an important figure, and a leading rival to Robert Bruce; but it is wrong to over-emphazize his claim to the crown. He was one of the weaker of the original Competitors of 1292.

Robert Bruce and the Black Comyn were not among the Competitors. Rcpaterson 22:49, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Black Comyn and Glentrool

I have serious worries about the factual integrity of this sketchy piece. As far as I am aware John Comyn, the father of the Red Comyn, died in 1303, and I can find no mention in John Barbour of any Comyn being involved in the Battle of Glen Trool. It was Mowbray, an Englishman, who was defeated in this encounter. Is there some other reference of which I am unaware; if so can I please know what this is a matter of urgency?

This page has now been completely rewritten, better, I hope, and certainly much more accurate. Rcpaterson 04:16, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
