    (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.
