    When King David I's line ended in 1286, the Comyns were the most powerful family in Scotland, and had claim to the empty throne on two counts. However the crown went to King John in 1292.

    When King John was deposed the Balliols left Scotland and again the most powerful man in the country was a Comyn. Devorguilla's grandson was known as 'The Red Comyn' and ruled with complete self-interest, sometimes fighting for Scotland and at other times for England.
