Notes - (Research):When William the Conqueror came to England he had a companion named Robert of Comyn, believed to have been so named from Comines in Flanders, whom he made Earl of Northumberland in 1069. When David I came to Scotland, Robert's grandson Richard came with him, and was made Chancellor of Scotland in 1133.
The speed with which the Comyns established themselves and their power is notable. They settled in Badenoch where the clan's chiefs were known as Lords of Badenoch, ruling from the impregnable island castle in Lochindorb.
