Margaret, Countess of Buchan, daughter and heiress who by deed previous to 1199, being then a widow (the name of her deceased husband is not known), confirmed lands granted by her father, Comes Fergus, to the Canons of St. Andrew's. She m, 2ndly (as 2nd wife), in or before 1210, William Comyn, Justiciar, who, in her right, became Earl of Buchan. He founded the Abbey of Deer in Buchan, and d 1233. The Countess was living 2 Aug 1236 and apparently 8 Apr 1242, but d before 1244. (Complete Peerage II:374)

Gartnach, Mormaer of Buchan, is first mentioned as Earl of Buchan when witnessing a charter in 1115. It is thought that he acquired his Mormaership through his wife. Certainly the new earldom passed to his s-in-law Colban in right of the latter's wife, Gartnach's daugher Eve. It continued with Colban and Eve's male issue till the end of the 12th century, when an heiress, Margaret, became Countess of Buchan in her own right.

Margaret's second husband, William Comyn, whom she married in 1210, became Earl of Buchan through her. Their s Alexander, 6th Earl of Buchan, was a leading figure in the Scotland of his day, being one of the guarantors who undertook to protect the succession to the throne of Margaret during her father Alexander III's lifetime in Feb 1283/4, then one of the Guardians of the Realm (effectively Regents) after Alexander died in 1285. (Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th Edition, Volume 1, p 564)

Margaret, Countess of Buchan, was born before 1199.

Countess of Buchan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William (is believed to have) had six children through his first wife Sarah Fitzhugh and eight through Marjory, Countess of Buchan. The two branches would be associated with the Lordship of Badenoch through his first wife and the Earldom of Buchan through the second. For the historian Alan Young, William's life, and particularly his marriage to the Countess of Buchan, marks the beginning of the "Comyn century".
