Colbán, Earl of Fife

Mormaer Colbán of Fife ruled Fife, 1266 – 1270/2. He was probably the son of Maol Choluim II. (Malcolm II of Fife) Not much is known about his life and reign. Colbán's death is disputed, and depends on what evidence one interprets. G.W.S. Barrow gives 1272, but Bannerman gives 1270. He married Anna, the daughter of Alan Durward, with whom he fathered a son Donnchadh III of Fife and a daughter Margery, wife of Alan, Earl of Menteith.[1] The latter succeeded him upon his death.
